**Washington, D.C.** – Former US President Donald Trump has accused President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris of inciting violence after a second assassination attempt against him over the weekend. Trump claims the suspected gunman, Ryan Wesley Routh, was influenced by “highly inflammatory language” used by Democrats, specifically referring to their criticism of Trump as a threat to democracy.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Trump stated, “He believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it. Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country, and they are the ones that are destroying the country — both from the inside and out.”

Trump further accused Biden and Harris of deliberately undermining the US by allowing mass immigration and weakening the country’s standing in the world. He also criticized the media’s coverage of his recent debate with Harris, labeling it biased and protective of Democrats.

The alleged assassination attempt on Sunday involved a gunman discovered near Trump’s golf course in Florida. While Trump assured supporters he is safe, this incident follows another shooting incident in July during a rally in Pennsylvania, where a gunman killed one person and injured others before being shot by police.

Trump’s accusations come amidst a backdrop of heightened political tension in the US, fueled by the upcoming presidential elections. Democrats have consistently criticized Trump for his rhetoric and actions, particularly his handling of the January 6th Capitol riot. Biden, responding to the weekend incident, urged all political leaders to reject hate speech and avoid inciting violence.

This news comes as Trump continues to campaign for the presidency, focusing on issues like immigration and national security.
