From Donald Trump to Abraham Lincoln: US History of Political Violence

From Donald Trump to Abraham Lincoln: US History of Political Violence
Republican candidate Donald Trump was attacked during his rally in Pennsylvania. The 78-year-old was shot in the ear while campaigning in Butler city. The assassination attempt on Trump is not the first time a US leader has been attacked. The country has a long history of political violence. Before Trump, President Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981. He spent 12 days in the hospital and the attack reportedly boosted his popularity. Republican Presidential candidate Theodore Roosevelt went on to give his speech after being shot in Wisconsin. President Abraham Lincoln was shot in the head in Washington. There is a long list of American presidents and presidential candidates who have either faced an assassination attempt or succumbed to it. Watch our video for more.

The attempt on Reagan was a kid that had a broken heart because of a gf. Idiots are everywhere.

Jodi Foster was never his girlfriend. He stalked her and thought that if he did something really big that she would pay attention to him.

[@jrkl1622]

Lol. That's the newest absurd S*** that I learnt today.

[@user-zq6yw6df8s]

Really every guy breaks up with his gf though except unlucky ones
