Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, for the first time, directly blamed the Biden administration for his being "forced to take a bullet for democracy."  They wanted him dead - no question.

     "The Biden/Harris Administration did not properly protect me, and I was forced to take a bullet for Democracy," last Tuesday. 

"IT WAS MY GREAT HONOR TO DO SO!"

     Trump's comments were posted moments after U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned last Tuesday. She was forced out after failing to provide immediate accountability for allowing a would-be assassin to hit the White House's political rival with a bullet shot to the head on the eve of the Republican National Convention.

     Trump was due to accept the official GOP nomination just hours after the assassination attempt that the now-nominee is blaming on a failure of his political rivals to "protect" him amid the campaign. It also comes after months of trials and prosecutorial attempts to convict him in multiple Democrat-controlled districts, including New York City, Washington, and Atlanta.

     The "took a bullet for democracy" line has become a campaign rally call for Trump after the failed assassination attempt. It began in an off-script moment Saturday night as he returned to the stage nearly "one week ago today, almost to the hour, even to the minute" of dodging the bullet of a would-be assassin.

     "Last week, I took a bullet for democracy," Trump told his Grand Rapids, Michigan, rally in a speech that aired live and in its entirety on Newsmax and the free online Newsmax2 streaming platform.
