The Bullet That Might Win Trump The Election | Reactions To The Assassination Attempt

It seems remarkable to describe a week in which Donald Trump was hit by a would-be assassin’s bullet as a triumph. But images of his fist-pumping defiance and ecstatic crowds greeting his arrival at the Republican National Convention reflect a Presidential candidate who is experiencing what could be a decisive surge in popularity.
As Republicans and Democrats blamed each other for sowing the seeds of political violence through highly charged rhetoric, there also were calls on both sides for a change in tone: For unity and conciliation to replace enmity and intolerance.
On this episode of the Riz Khan Show, prominent Trump supporters and critics share their thoughts. And in a week when the former President’s legal team celebrated another landmark victory, we’ll consider the prospect of an all-powerful President enjoying immunity from prosecution.
Show guests:
Sebastian Gorka, Former Trump Advisor
Reed Galen - Co-founder of the Lincoln Project
Michael Gerhardt - Constitutional law professor at University of North Carolina
Since recording that interview, Donald Trump’s legal team celebrated more good news this week. A judge in Florida dismissed the criminal case in which Trump is accused of keeping classified documents after leaving office. The Trump-appointed judge decided that the appointment of the prosecution special counsel was unlawful. The Department of Justice plans to appeal and there are some calls for the judge to be taken off the case. But it effectively means there’s little chance of the case coming to trial before the election on November 5th.
