Four presidents have been assassinated in office, and several (in office or not) have been wounded. All of these incidents took place decades, if not a century, ago. So it’s understandable that the second wounding of a president while not in office, that of Donald Trump in Butler Pennsylvania in July of this year, would have shaken the nation. Now, a mere two months later, a second assassination attempt against the former president has occurred.
Why are we seeing this happen now? Heritage Expert Lora Ries joins the podcast to explain.
