‘Christ Protects Him’: Donald Trump Becomes Mexican Folk Hero in Songs on Assassination Attempt

Multiple Mexican corridos, or narrative folk songs, telling the story of former President Donald Trump’s narrow escape from death in a July 13 assassination attempt have gone viral in the past week on social media. The posts rejoice in Trump as divinely protected and a man who “has never known fear.”

Corridos are traditional folk songs, often using heavy accordion, that narrate dramatic events in history, the news, or popular mythology. They were originally a form of spreading news of revolutionary heroes in the 1800s and have since evolved to lionize popular figures in literature, news, and politics. Some corridos also celebrate popular drug lords who amass power by filling power vacuums left by corrupt politicians, perhaps most famously depicted in the United States in the television series Breaking Bad.

Two corridos – one by the Grupo Norteño Gethsemani de Los Angeles and one Conjunto Diamante Norteño – recounting the events of July 13, in which a shooter later identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to kill Trump at a campaign rally – have propagated on social media in the past week.
