There was such a dangerous rhetoric from the Democrats at the time calling trump a Nazi among other things. I'm surprised there was not more attempts on his life. That we know off anyway.

Has nothing to do with me! I don’t, by the way, exploit my tenants. We have good and mutually respectful relationships.
Do you seriously think Trump didn’t exploit being shot?

There was no rhetoric at all. In fact there was a lot of restraint.
The fact that there aren’t more attempts is down to the huge security that surrounds him. There are plenty of people who would be willing to do the deed. The Democrats have no need to offer encouragement. Trump does that very effectively himself.

From grok:
Examples of Inflammatory dangerous Rhetoric:
Joe Biden’s Statements (2020–2022): In 2020, Joe Biden compared Trump to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, saying Trump’s tactics were “a little bit like Goebbels” in spreading lies. In 2022, Biden’s “MAGA Republicans” speech labeled Trump and his supporters as a “threat to the very soul of this country,” implying authoritarian tendencies.
Media Comparisons: Prominent outlets like CNN and MSNBC ran segments or op-eds comparing Trump to authoritarian figures. For example, in 2018, MSNBC’s Donny Deutsch said on air that Trump’s rhetoric was “reminiscent of 1930s Germany,” implying Nazi-like behavior. The Washington Post published pieces like “It’s not wrong to compare Trump’s America to the Third Reich” (2018), amplifying such narratives.
Congressional Rhetoric: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (2019) likened Trump’s border policies to “concentration camps,” a term evoking Nazi imagery. While aimed at policy, it contributed to framing Trump as morally equivalent to extreme historical figures.
During the presidential campaign:
Below are specific examples of inflammatory rhetoric from Democrats during the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign leading up to the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on Donald Trump, focusing on statements labeling him as a Nazi, fascist, or similar terms.
Inflammatory Democratic Rhetoric: (Pre-July 13, 2024)Joe Biden’s “Bullseye” Comment (July 8, 2024): On a private donor call, President Joe Biden said, “We’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye,” signaling a shift to aggressively target Trump. Republicans, including Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Rep. Lauren Boebert, criticized this as dangerous, arguing it could incite violence, especially given its timing days before the July 13 attempt. Biden later called it a “mistake.”
Kamala Harris on Trump as a “Threat to Democracy” (Multiple Instances, 2024): Vice President Kamala Harris repeatedly called Trump a “threat to our democracy and fundamental freedoms” during campaign events, including statements like, “It’s on us to recognize the threat [Trump] poses.” These remarks, often tied to Trump’s 2020 election challenges, were cited by Trump’s campaign as inflammatory.
Democratic Congressional Rhetoric (2024 Campaign):Rep. Adam Schiff: Stated Trump was the “gravest threat to our democracy,” linking him to authoritarianism during campaign discussions.
Rep. Dan Goldman: Said Trump was “destructive to democracy” and should be “eliminated,” later clarifying he meant electorally but apologizing after backlash.
Rep. Abigail Spanberger: Noted, “Trump is a threat to our democracy … the threats to our democratic republic are real,” framing the election as a battle against Trump’s influence.
Rep. Maxine Waters’ Comments (2024 Campaign): Waters questioned whether Trump supporters were “preparing a civil war” and linked Trump to “right-wing organizations” training for violence, implying he was a catalyst for unrest.

You trust Grok? With Musk behind it and allowing it to describe white genocide as real?
Don’t think that’s very sensible!
Nevertheless, the referenced statements all show admirable restraint. Much stronger language could be employed to describe the danger to democracy and world peace that Trump represents.

No one is going to deny that.
However two points.
One was that it's was Trump not Biden who suffered the two assassination attempts and thus the rhetoric of the Democrats is the focus.
The second is that the Democrats are the party who like to portray themselves as morally superior to the GOP.....and yet we see time and again that in reality they are even worse.....No one claims that Trump is this nice respectful guy, in fact quite the opposite.
It's the fact that the Democrats make this big play and advertise themselves as morality itself that irritates, because all the while they are as corrupt and lie as much as their enemies......Most of them scam on Wall street and make millions over time from lobbyists....The very worse of people but with massive power.

No doubt there is some sort Rhetoric the other way. But trump was the one who had assassination attempts on his life and came within mm of dieing.
The examples provided by grok can also be found by other methods. Like other AI search or a simple Google search. It just listed them.
Feel free to use another method and see the same results

I get that.
However, perhaps the significant thing is that Trump polarizes to such an extent that he engenders this level of passion.
Conversely, even though much of Trump's base are gun totin' nut jobs, the Democrats leaders just don't raise that level of feeling.
Now if there was ever a reason to be unhappy that loons are NOT taking pot shots at your candidates...
Hang on, didn't someone go nuts in Minnesota...
It's the USA. It happens.
On topic (but off logic) my missus reckons the Trump thing was staged. 🙄

She's not on her own as Hol's Corny connection was deep into that one at the time.
Bill Maher....Well known for his own TDS has a nice bit on this.
I think you're right, Trump is probably the most polarizing figure to emerge into US politics in our lifetime. Of course to someone like me Trump both amuses and annoys depending upon whatever he gets up to....boring he is not. However, his personality seems exquisitely enraging for so many of his opponents that their reactions to him works in his favour.
He's done a bit of a heel turn on his own support base itself at the moment.....and it's a fascinating moment in time.

I don’t think anyone, and certainly not me, suggested that the assassination attempt was staged by the marksman deliberately shooting his ear! That would be ridiculous.
The doubts were caused by the timing and the way he exploited the whole thing. Especially the enormous bandage. As it involved Trump it automatically raised questions about its authenticity. When someone lies as a matter of daily habit it’s natural to question everything.
Could it have been staged in other ways? Seems unlikely to me, but some still think so.

If it was then the bystander who was killed was certainly committed to the ruse.

It's bonkers but he can't admit fault in supporting this nonsense at the time and if I remember correctly it's of note that he was the only person who supported the theory on here.
I don't criticise not taking what happened at face value, as I think that's always valid. Not that he appears to support people doing that for anything else apparently....covid I'm looking at you.
However, once you look into it.... nothing he supported makes much sense.....and that's worthy of criticism. He appears to have believed it because he preferred to.
What he suggests would have required the collusion of Trump's security team in letting him cut his own ear on the ground, that collusion would also have to include the sniper team in letting the event happen before ending it before another volley. Plus the collusion or required incompetence of the examining doctor.
Even more of a stretch is the reality of the people behind Trump who were shot with one dying. Not only does it prove that real bullets were fired but that they must have been close to his head. As Maher points out in his routine that idea that you are going to knowingly let someone do that from hundreds of metres away is ridiculous.
It's TDS over-taking logic.
