Susan Kokinda links Saturday's third Trump assassination attempt at the Washington Hilton to King Charles' Washington visit and a new House of Lords report — arguing the British imperial system fears Trump's American System revival the way it feared McKinley.
Susan Kokinda links a third assassination attempt on Donald Trump at the Washington Hilton—where a 31-year-old Californian, Cole Tomas Allen, charged a Secret Service checkpoint with firearms and knives—to a broader political struggle she frames as the British imperial system versus Trump's "American System." She argues Trump's own remarks about assassinations point to a pattern of targeting "impactful" leaders, comparing today's climate to anarchist-era killings around 1900 and the 1901 assassination of William McKinley. Kokinda ties the attack's timing to King Charles' Washington visit, a new book, The Queen and Her Presidents, and a House of Lords/Chatham House report on "rebalancing" the UK–US partnership, highlighting UK dependence on the postwar "rules-based order" and concerns about a lasting US shift under Trump.
