Trump blames Democrats' 'highly inflammatory language' for second assassination attempt

Sept. 16 (UPI) -- Authorities on Monday charged a 58-year-old suspect with two gun charges in Florida in a second assassination attempt on Donald Trump, as the former president blamed Democrats' "highly inflammatory language" for him being "shot at."

In an interview one day after he was rushed off the golf course at Trump International in West Palm Beach, Trump said Monday he believed Democrats' taking his words out of context and calling him a "threat to democracy" were to blame for the gunman's actions.
