About the workThis press photograph was taken shortly after the assassination attempt on then-presidential candidate Donald Trump at a campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania, on 13 July 2024. Trump appears in front of the US flag with a raised fist and a visible injury to his ear, striking a defiant and resolute pose. The visual impact of the image overshadows the event itself, lending itself to a heroic interpretation. The photograph illustrates how press photography can influence political events. The fact that Trump even had the image later rendered as a painting underscores its symbolic significance.
