Former US President and Republican Party candidate Donald Trump suggested on Wednesday that foreign countries unhappy with his tariff promises could be behind the effort. of assassination. “Then they wonder why they are shooting me. Only important presidents are shot,” he said.
The Republican’s comments contrast with accusations he made on Monday, when he blamed “lies” and Kamala Harris’ ‘Communist Rhetoric’ for Second Assassination AttemptFar from continuing to accuse the Democrat, he thanked her for her “kind” call to ask how she was doing after the incident.
“I impose a 200% rate on themwhich means they can’t be sold. Then you wonder why they shot me. “Only important presidents get shot,” he said after a town hall meeting with his supporters in Flint.
It’s no coincidence that Flint is a city in undecided state Michigan, hit by the auto crisis and infamous for a scandal involving lead contamination of drinking water. A perfect scenario to tie his promise to impose heavy tariffs on imports of vehicles from Mexico and China with what happened on Sunday.
