But now, 4 new points arise that alarm and concern everyone, and it is good that it is so.

Possible Iranian plot: It has been reported that the US Secret Service received information about a presumed plot planned from Iran to assassinate Donald Trump. Although a direct connection between the attacker, Thomas Matthew Crooks, and foreign agents has not yet been established, this raises concerns about the security of the former president and the influence of international actors on US domestic politics.

What would have happened to the USA today if Donald Trump were dead? What implications would the indignation and reaction of the citizens have on their lives? Divine intervention vs. rational explanations: It is interesting to observe the interpretation that both Donald Trump and his followers have given to the incident. While the former president attributes his salvation to a specific movement he made during the attack, two-thirds of his followers see the intervention of divine providence or the will of God. This dichotomy between rational explanations and religious beliefs highlights the complexity of how political events are perceived and interpreted.
65% of registered Republicans see the intervention of "divine providence or the will of God," but the former president believes he was saved by turning to look at a screen, showing a chart on illegal immigration. For many, it is a sign more than a coincidence.
But today, the big question that no one can get out of their head is whether the current government, the current system, the present actors, the institutions, and the citizens are up to the task of clearly standing out in the event of a possible assassination of a man as charismatic and disruptive as Trump. What would it have generated among his followers?

Responsibility of the Secret Service: The director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, took responsibility for the inefficiency of the security agents in protecting Donald Trump during the rally. This acknowledgment of security failures raises questions about protection protocols and the need to improve preparedness to prevent future attacks.

Ongoing investigations: Authorities are conducting thorough investigations to clarify the motives behind the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Although details about the shooter, such as the origin of the weapon used and the cooperation of his family with authorities, have been revealed, the specific reasons that led Crooks to commit the attack have not yet been identified. The priority of the White House and the FBI in clarifying this aspect is crucial to ensure the safety of key political figures in the country.
In summary, the attack on Donald Trump at the Butler rally has triggered a series of geopolitical, national security, and public interpretation implications that require careful attention and a strategic response from competent authorities. The balance between protecting political leaders, preventing internal and external threats, and transparency in investigations are crucial aspects to maintain stability and security in the country.
