New Delhi, July 15: Painter Scott LeBaido spent last night with brushes to bring AP photographer Evan Vucci’s sensational photograph of former US president Donald Trump raising his first in air with cries of ‘fight, fight, fight’ on his canvas.
Ryan Cohen joined billionaires Elon Musk and Bill Ackman in endorsing Trump. Cohen is the CEO of GameStop.
US president Joe Biden went on air in prime-time to plead turning off the politics of hate. Biden set his condemnation of Trump’s assassination bid by recalling incidents of attack on the spouse of former US Congress Speaker Nancy Pelosi, attack on Capitol Hill, kidnapping of a sitting Governor, attacks on elections officials.
Biden mentioned all the instances of violence which had linkages with Trump. “It is time to cool down the country’s political climate,” said Biden.

The US president also said, “…politics must not be a battlefield, God forbid a killing field.”
The US president’s overtures to douse inflamed passions in the run up the November presidential election has come amid commentaries in which Trump has been compared to Adolf Hitler, the German Nazi ruler. Democrats have been rallying supporters to stop Trump from coming to power at any cost.
Fraser Nelson wrote in The Spectator about the image of a wounded Trump in glowing terms. “We see him wounded by an assailant and bleeding, showing undeniable physical courage. Rather than cower, he pushed himself above the human shield …,” wrote Nelson.
The commentator was making a sense of Trump’s signature campaign statement MAGA taking the centre stage. With an outcry for ‘Make America Great Again (MAGA)’, Trump’s politics of ultra-nationalism has gained mythical proportions.

His supporters are giving a God-like cult. Trump was shot at while explaining graphics of rising waves of immigrants in the US yesterday.
With Trump not changing his schedules after the assassination attempt on him, the former US president is now the favourite to win the November election. Biden has adjusted his campaign schedules, while also dropping hints that the Democrats will now hold their guns against Trump.
Vucci’s sensational capture of the moments of the assassination attack on Trump also added China’s assertion of speed in manufacturing by printing t-shirts with the image of the bloodied face of the Republican leader. In the US also, the image has become a rallying cry from the Trump supporters.
The business tycoons are backing Trump more aggressively now. In contrast, Biden is facing setback with campaign funding being withheld, also from a section of the Hollywood.
