Argentina’s Milei Accuses Left of Trump Terrorism

(DailyVantage.com) – Many of the world leaders expressed solidarity, support, and sympathy with former president Donald Trump in the wake of the failed assassination attempt against him, with some putting the blame for the attempted killing on certain parties.

One such claim comes from Argentina’s President Javier Milei, who pointed at the “international left” as the supposed masterminds behind the shooting. The attempted assassination only grazed Trump’s ear, but killed a bystander, former firefighter Corey Comperatore, who died while shielding his family from the bullets fired by the killer. The shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot in the head by law enforcement snipers posted as security at the event in just 15 seconds after he attempted to kill the former president. Two other attendees suffered injuries, but are reportedly now in stable condition.

In his post on Twitter, the Argentinian president called the attack “COWARDLY [sic]”, attributing it to the “desperation of the international left” and progressives’ “nefarious ideology”. He added that he believes leftists are not above “destabilize democracies and promote violence” in order to procure and hold political power.

Milei has long been a supporter of the former president, and quickly followed up his support tweet with several others including one where reposted a tweet that called leftists “sons of a thousand whores.”

Other world leaders were less antagonizing, with many opting to focus on Trump’s wellbeing, and the negative implications the act had for democracy around the world. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the attack “concerning and confronting”, adding that such an act of violence has no place in the democratic process. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva of Brazil called the shooting “unacceptable” and said that it should be condemned in the strongest terms by “defenders of democracy and political dialogue.” Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, called the attack a “tragedy for our democracies” and wished Trump a speedy recovery.
