Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The president’s swift exit from the ballroom was a familiar scene, reminiscent of the attempted assassination of President Reagan in 1981. The Secret Service agents’ swift action to protect Trump was a well-rehearsed routine. The incident has sparked a flashback to the historical event that occurred at the same hotel. The media is now drawing parallels between the two incidents. The event has become a performance, with the president’s safety being the central act.
