Trump assassination attempt highlights historical and modern challenges in US politics: Analysis

The recent attempt on Trump's life marked the first in over 40 years, contrasting with four successful assassinations of US presidents. Abraham Lincoln was the first in 1865, followed by James Garfield in 1881, William McKinley in 1901, and John F. Kennedy in 1963. Scott Lucas, a professor at University College Dublin, discusses the historical impact of these events on US politics, noting they've become iconic, albeit frozen in time. The recent shooting during a presidential campaign, amidst social media and Trump's history of inciting violence, raises unprecedented concerns. Lucas underscores the potential implications for America's political future, citing recent incidents like the Capitol attack and violence against Nancy Pelosi's family.
