NASSAU, BAHAMAS – So just where were you this weekend when you heard the news? The assassination attempt of former President Trump dominated the news cycles this weekend as analysts and observers tried to make sense of it all. We spoke to a few Americans who have strong opinions on the near tragedy.

It’s just the latest in a series of polarizing events gripping the American political landscape. These images of a near assassination of former President Trump flooded news cycles and online sites this weekend.

The shooting occurred just minutes into a campaign rally speech in Butler, Pennsylvania. The image of a bleeding and still defiant former president rushed away by Secret Service agents set a new narrative.

The events in the runup to the November election have set to draw the battle lines in what is shaping up to be the most divisive and rhetoric-filled U.S. election of our time.
