                      Trump Assassination Attempt

  Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, before I begin, I just want to say how 
grateful I am that President Trump is safe after what appears to be a 
second attempt on his life in the space of 2 months.
  The trend this election cycle has taken toward violence is disturbing 
to say the least, and I hope this weekend's events will prompt 
reflection on our political discourse and the importance of not letting 
our disagreements lead to the dehumanization of our opponents.
  I am grateful for all the law enforcement personnel who responded and 
helped prevent another tragedy, and I look forward to seeing a thorough 
investigation.
