A second assassination attempt targeting Donald Trump prompted analysis by Malek Dudakov, an American political scientist. He connected the incident to discussions about Ukraine-related narratives in the country and warned that the climate around political leaders has grown more volatile. In a conversation with a national newspaper, he suggested the attack on Republican figures reflected an uptick in political violence and a sense that conventional boundaries between disagreement and danger are eroding.

According to the expert, the American public increasingly finds itself divided to the point that some individuals may act on extremist beliefs. He did not dismiss the idea that a theory about a hidden power structure could be part of the explanation for the episode, describing how the rhetoric surrounding the presidency can fuel conspiratorial thinking and widen the gap between camps. The possibility that a broad notion of a deep agenda is influencing events was left as part of a larger public debate rather than a single, isolated cause. (Newspapers.Ru)
Dudakov also observed that the intensity of public discourse around Trump has, in his view, pushed some people to the edge. He suggested that heated statements and aggressive framing around the candidate create an atmosphere in which violent ideas can take root in the minds of a few. The claim underlined the risks posed when political messaging blends with personal security concerns, making the line between opinion and threat increasingly hard to spot. (Newspapers.Ru)
He went further, arguing that the United States has become so immersed in a foreign narrative at times that it produces odd, almost mirrored impulses. The scholar claimed that certain segments of the American public may adopt elements of a Ukrainian political frame, as though the international rhetoric had seeped into domestic life. The remark was presented as part of a broader discussion on how external narratives can shape national sentiment. (Newspapers.Ru)
The Florida episode involved a shooting at Donald Trump’s golf club while the candidate was playing on the course. He was unharmed. The FBI is examining the incident as a possible assassination attempt, and the suspect has been detained. American media report that the person identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, from Hawaii, is said to hold views aligned with Democrats and support for Ukraine. This incident followed a separate assassination attempt against Trump in Pennsylvania two months earlier, prompting ongoing coverage and analysis of political risk factors surrounding high-profile campaigns.

Pushkov later asserted that Trump is being targeted by the deep state, a view echoed by several commentators who see a pattern of influence attempts aimed at steering political outcomes rather than open civic debate.
