Another Close Call
Donald Trump was the target of a second assassination attempt at his golf club in Florida. This time, a man named Ryan Wesley Routh was found hiding in the bushes with an AK-style rifle. Secret Service agents engaged him in a shootout, and he was eventually caught on the highway.
Who is the Suspect?
Routh has a long criminal history and has moved around the country. He was charged with over 100 crimes and reportedly recruited people to fight in Ukraine.
Security Concerns
This incident has raised serious questions about the safety of political figures. The Secret Service is facing intense scrutiny after a similar attempt on Trump’s life in July.
Political Reactions
Leaders from both parties condemned the violence and expressed relief that Trump was safe. Vice President Kamala Harris and President Biden praised the Secret Service’s response.
Trump’s Political Future
This assassination attempt comes at a crucial time for Trump’s presidential campaign. He is currently the Republican nominee and facing multiple criminal charges. It remains to be seen how this incident will impact his ability to focus on the election.
Crypto Tokens Take a Hit
Trump-themed crypto tokens have taken a significant hit following the assassination attempt. Tokens like MAGA, TRUMP, and TREMP have all experienced losses.
MAGA Token
The second-largest Trump token, MAGA Hat (MAGA), dropped 6.5% and is down 32% in the past week. It’s still trading at $0.00006116, but it could potentially draw in investors if the price stays around the bottom.
TRUMP Token
The largest Trump token, MAGA, has also fallen significantly, dropping 12% to $2.12. While this is a far cry from its all-time high of $17.07, some early investors are still making a profit. The TRUMP price chart suggests the token could bottom out at $1.2, but it may fall further to $0.40-$0.70 before recovering.
TREMP Token
The third-largest Trump token, Doland Tremp (TREMP), has been relatively stable. It dropped just 3% in the past 24 hours and is trading near a supporting zone that was tested several times last month, suggesting a potential recovery.
