Axios: “On the eve of a Republican National Convention built on themes of victimhood and political persecution, Trump came inches — literally — from martyrdom.”
“Republicans couldn’t ask for more of a contrast, with President Biden spending the last two weeks in a standoff with Democrats who fear he is too feeble to campaign effectively.”
“Trump, who said on Truth Social that he felt the bullet ‘ripping through’ his skin, will be welcomed in Milwaukee on Monday as a hero, a fighter — even a messiah to elements of his evangelical base.”
“The images from the shooting, plastered on front pages around the world Sunday morning, became iconic in real time.”
Politico: Blood turns to martyrdom as Republicans rally around Trump.
