The incident took place when Trump was answering the questions of journalists. Meanwhile, a journalist mentioned the letter of the attacker who tried to target Trump. As soon as the reporter started reading ‘rapist’ and other derogatory words written in that alleged manifesto, Trump interrupted him. “I’m not a rapist, and it’s all lies. Why are you giving a platform to a criminal and a mentally ill person by reading his nonsense here,” Trump said in a loud voice.

Trump’s attack on ‘fake news’ and ‘victim card’

Donald Trump termed this entire incident as another conspiracy to defame him. He said that the media is deliberately fanning the statements of those who want to spread hatred against him. Trump’s supporters also say that publicly reading the manifesto of an attacker is not only unethical, but it also amounts to promoting violence. Trump called it a new trick of the ‘fake news’ gang.

Attacker’s manifesto and security agencies

According to reports, the suspect who tried to attack Trump had left a detailed document in which he made many objectionable comments on Trump’s policies and his personal life. Although security agencies are investigating this document, Trump believes that highlighting it in the media is an attempt to harm his political career. He clarified that he is not afraid of such threats and false allegations.

New turn in American politics

This incident has sparked a new debate in the political circles of America. Trump’s opponents say that it is the media’s right to ask questions on documents of public importance, while Republican Party leaders have called it “media cruelty” towards the President. After this heated debate, it has become clear that Trump’s relationship with the press will remain challenging even in his second term as President.
