Assassination attempt on Trump
On Saturday, several shots were heard in Pennsylvania during Donald Trump's speech at a rally. One of them killed a protester, and another shot grazed Trump's ear.
The shooter himself, who turned out to be a 20-year-old local resident, was eliminated immediately after the assassination attempt.
Donald Trump made several loud statements after the incident. Representatives of his team confirmed that he is fine.
Bitcoin growth
The crypto market also revived after the assassination attempt. In particular, Bitcoin exceeded the $60,000 mark, which is also associated with the incident in Pennsylvania, since the crypto community considers Trump a defender of cryptocurrencies and hopes for a softening of regulation if he wins the elections in the fall.
