ANOTHER gunman, another seemingly close scrape with destiny. Even in a country with a grim history of political violence, US President Donald Trump certainly seems to attract more would-be assassins than others.
By the time he had been whisked back to the White House from the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Trump was in an almost routine frame of mind. He had studied the history of assassinations, he told the glamorously attired press assembly.
He concluded that only the most significant figures, such as Abraham Lincoln, are targeted. “And I hate to say I’m honoured by that, but I’ve done a lot,” he said.
