Assassination attempts — terrifying, shocking, tragic. But when they target a high‑profile politician, do they also become a twisted form of publicity that reshapes careers and influences history? On this episode of Thoughts Off The Stem, we dig into the drama, controversy, and aftermath of assassination attempts on Donald J. Trump — and ask the uncomfortable question: Did those attempts actually help him politically?
We examine what happened, what it did to public perception, and why surviving a near‑miss can transform a person’s image overnight — for better or worse. Expect history, psychology, controversy, and a lot of “what ifs.”
