UUP Leader Sends His Thoughts to Pres Trump

UUP Leader Doug Beattie has expressed his thoughts for President Donald Trump following an assassination attempt on his life.

Party Leader, Doug Beattie MC MLA said,

“The attempted murder of Donald Trump at a Presidential Election rally in Pennsylvania is both disturbing and dangerous. Democracy is an important principle in any election and within any country. The attempt to murder a candidate in any election is an attempt to undermine that democracy.

It is also dangerous, if not checked, as it polarises communities setting ideologies against each other in an increasingly toxic manner. This is one of the world’s superpowers that can quickly spiral out of control. 

“My thoughts are with Mr Trump, and I hope he makes a speedy recovery. I also wish to extend my condolences to the individual who lost their life and my thoughts with those injured.”
