Another
assassination attempt on President Trump is described after a
21-year-old man entered the secure grounds of Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun
and a gasoline canister and was shot dead by Secret Service. The episode
argues this is the third attempt in less than two years and links
rising political violence to increasingly profane Democratic messaging
and ads, citing remarks from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and an
Illinois Senate campaign ad. Barbara Boyd discusses threats from Susan
Rice and Jake Sullivan toward corporations and law firms, framing them
as part of a broader “lawfare” and psychological campaign against
Trump’s tariff-driven economic agenda. The script then focuses on the
Supreme Court striking down Trump’s IEEPA tariffs, criticizing groups
and amici opposing the tariffs, and highlights administration claims
that tariffs will be re-established under other authorities with revenue
unchanged. It closes by citing economic outcomes after one year: a
reported 17% decline in the trade deficit, new factory investment, and
expanded nuclear and advanced energy initiatives.
