Donald Trump

Joe Biden

MAGA

Meme coins started to surge merely minutes after US presidential candidate Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. 
MAGA (TRUMP) has seen an increase of over 50% in the past 24 hours. DOGE and SHIB have increased by 2% and 1% respectively, but TRUMP remains the best performer as things stand.

TrumpCoin (DJT), the meme coin Martin Shkreli allegedly created for Trump and his son Barron, has also increased by nearly 6% in the past twenty-four hours. 
There has been a long flurry of new meme coins too, inspired by the shooting. People on Twitter are fueling the rumors that Joe Biden was the one who ordered the hit on Trump, based on his comments about putting him in a bullseye a few days ago. 
Biden, for his part, said he is happy Trump survived in his official statement. He said he was praying for him and everyone else who was affected by the incident.
