Trump second assassination attempt will affect meme coins?

US presidential candidate Donald Trump is believed to be the target of a second assassination attempt. How did political meme coins react to the news?

A second assassination attempt or an unfortunate coincidence?

On September 15, a shooting occurred at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach. About a quarter mile from the politician, a Secret Service agent saw a rifle barrel protruding from the brush. He immediately opened fire in the direction of the alleged perpetrator.

The attacker fled the scene in a black Nissan, but a passerby noticed the vehicle driving away and took a photo of it, which he then gave to police.

The suspect was caught on the highway about 45 miles north of the assassination site. A search of his car turned up a GoPro camera, two backpacks and an AK-47 assault rifle with a telescopic sight.

According to media reports, the would-be shooter is 58-year-old Hawaiian Ryan Wesley Routh. Prosecutors believe attempted murder charges could be brought even if the suspect did not fire a single shot.

Trump thanked the Secret Service for their quick response and confirmed that he was fine:

“THE JOB WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. I AM SO PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!”

Trump’s DeFi project launched a day after assassination attempt

The official launch of the World Liberty Financial project is scheduled for September 16. Trump’s sons are behind the creation of the project. Originally called The Defiant Ones, World Liberty Financial is expected to focus on DeFi lending.

It is noteworthy that the official launch was scheduled for the day after the possible assassination attempt. Some publications had written about the staged nature of the shooting in July, after the first assassination attempt on the politician.

Indeed, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post noted that the politician’s shooting had given impetus to the BlueAnon phenomenon, which opposes the right-wing QAnon, which is associated with left-wing conspiracy theories and believes that the United States is run by a society of Satanist pedophiles, including high-ranking Democratic Party officials and celebrity supporters from showbiz.

But we can only speculate whether Trump was actually in danger at his golf club or whether the tragedy was exaggerated.
