About this Episode
美国前总统特朗普上星期六在宾夕法尼亚州进行竞选集会时，被飞来的子弹击中右耳上沿，惊险逃过鬼门关。当特朗普在特勤人员的护送下离开时，他坚持先停下来，举起拳头，对观众喊了三声“战斗”！这个经典的画面传遍世界。
特朗普为美国而战的硬汉形象震撼全美，从他脸颊滑过的一枪把他塑造成了英雄，还仿佛净化了他身上的诸多争议。还有宗教人士认为，这就是上帝的旨意，更证明特朗普就是天选之人。现任总统拜登的选情也因此更加岌岌可危。
不过，并非所有人都像特朗普般幸运。在星期六的集会上，一名他的支持者中弹身亡，两人重伤。
特朗普已经提前赢得美国大选了吗？这次的枪击事件揭露了美国社会的哪些问题，又会带来什么变化？

Former US President Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during a recent campaign rally. A stray bullet grazed his right ear, but Trump's response was quintessentially defiant. Amidst the chaos, he raised his fist and thrice shouted "Fight!" to the crowd, a moment that instantly went viral and cemented his image as an indomitable force in American politics. Some religious commentators have even interpreted the event as a sign of divine intervention.
In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yong Hong, delves into the far-reaching implications of this incident with Roger Chifeng Liu, CEO and senior researcher at the Research Institute for Democracy, Society and Emerging Technology.
