President Trump targeted again — only a handful on the left act like adults
President Donald Trump has reportedly survived multiple assassination attempts, including a recent incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, prompting criticism of media figures and political opponents for not adequately condemning the violence or acknowledging Trump as a target.
