This follows the arrest of 58-year-old Ryan Routh, who allegedly intended to kill Trump but was stopped by a Secret Service agent who spotted Routh&#8217;s weapon while he was concealed in the bushes at Trump International Golf Course. Trump claimed that Routh is merely a pawn in the Democratic Party&#8217;s strategy, asserting, &#8220;He believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris and acted on it.&#8221; In an interview with Fox News, he expressed that their words are putting his life in danger while he claims to be working to save the country from destruction caused by them both internally and externally.<\/p>\n<p>Trump accused President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris of misleading Americans into believing they seek unity when they actually aim to harm the nation. He referred to them as &#8220;the enemy from within&#8221; and labeled them as a genuine threat. Routh had previously posted on social media about democracy being at stake and insisted that Democrats &#8220;cannot lose.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump criticized Democratic tactics as a mix of inflammatory rhetoric and legal actions aimed at him, suggesting these are what dangerous individuals like Routh respond to. He also mentioned another assassination attempt against him in July that resulted in an injury. While acknowledging he could use similar incendiary language as Democrats do, he chose not to.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Trump condemned the media for perpetuating Democratic narratives without question, claiming they protect Democrats while spreading harmful ideologies. Columnist Miranda Devine highlighted how political figures like Harris and Biden exaggerate events such as the January 6 Capitol riot to portray Trump as a threat to democracy.<\/p>\n<p>Devine questioned what it would take for these extreme partisanship attitudes to subside after noting Trump&#8217;s assertion that their rhetoric contributed significantly to threats against his life even before Sunday\u2019s incident. He remarked during last week\u2019s debate about potentially facing violence due to their statements about him being a danger: \u201cThey talk about democracy; I\u2019m a threat&#8230; They\u2019re the threat.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2341917,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/this.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3620,4021,3634],"class_list":["post-2341916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden","tag-harris","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/this.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2341916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2341916"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2341916\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2341917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2341916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2341916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2341916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
