There is a Chinese saying: “Things should not happen more than three times.” It means that when the same ominous event keeps recurring, danger has accumulated to a serious level. Around Trump, there have now been three political assassination attempts. The first was the 2024 shooting at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a bullet struck his ear. The second came in September 2024 at Trump’s own golf course in Florida, where a would-be assassin was discovered in advance. The latest is the third: a gunman opened fire near the Washington Hilton, where the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was being held. A Secret Service agent was shot, and Trump, his wife, Vice-President JD Vance, and several senior officials were quickly evacuated.
