Former President Donald Trump suggested that attempts to assassinate him would "only get worse" due to migrants coming to the United States.
In a post to his Truth Social platform on Monday, Trump began by blaming Sunday's attempted assassination on "the false statements made by Comrade Kamala Harris during the rigged and highly partisan ABC Debate."
He said, "[A]ll of the ridiculous lawsuits specifically designed to inflict damage on Joe's, then Kamala's, Political Opponent, ME, has taken politics in our Country to a whole new level of Hatred, Abuse, and Distrust."
"Because of this Communist Left Rhetoric, the bullets are flying, and it will only get worse!"

Trump then veered into an all-caps rant against migrants without explaining their connection to the gunman, who was a white man.
"OUR BORDERS MUST BE CLOSED, AND THE TERRORISTS, CRIMINALS, AND MENTALLY INSANE, IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM AMERICAN CITIES AND TOWNS, DEPORTED BACK TO THEIR COUNTIES OF ORIGIN," he wrote. "THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT US AS FOOLS, THEY ARE STEALING OUR JOBS AND OUR WEALTH. WE CANNOT LET THEM LAUGH ANY LONGER. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
