The failed assassination will bring Trump a lot of 'sympathy points' in his bid to return to power, media personality Hu Xijin said.
A top Chinese media pundit said the attempted assassination of Donald Trump would buoy the former president's electoral prospects as he seeks a return to power in the November 5 election.'My feeling is that the shot will win Trump a lot of sympathy, and he seems to be one step closer to returning to the White House,' Hu Xijin, former editor-in-chief of state media outlet the Global Times, wrote on X on Sunday.
'Trump's would-be assassin has left a mark on American politics that will be felt by voters long after his injuries heal,' he wrote. 'In trying to kill the 45th president, Saturday's shooter may just have handed him a second run.'The Chinese internet was abuzz about the shooting, with images of his blood-splattered face inspiring T-shirts and other merchandise on Chinese e-commerce sites.
