Sure, there was the attempted assassination of Reagan and the fears for Obama as the first black President, but in those cases it was a lone nutter rather than a conspiracy.

How long can Trump crash the market before an angry billionaire decides to take him out? The remaining Koch brother is already pouring money into legal challenges against Trump…

    If it didnt happen last time, and a close yet unsuccessful attempt was made this time. My money is on, Trump lives to start harping about a third term in 2028.

    If it happens, its going to be a gavrillo princip type of deal, the more planning that goes into it, the more likely the conspirators get caught simply for the amount of surveilence that goes on in this world.

    if anyone is going to merk a world leader. its going to be something spur of the moment, wrong turn, wrong person, wrong time.

    I think by the time we hit 2026 there will be tens of millions who voted MAGA who wish that last year’s attempt would have succeeded, but logistically, it’s basically impossible now. Anything that might get Trump would probably have to be powerful enough to take out a whole crowd, and that’s just very unlikely.

    It’s also debatable whether it would even be a good thing. Political assassinations always have ramifications that weren’t planned for, but on the other hand, Trump is basically a cult leader and cults always shrivel a bit when the leader passes on.

      Hard disagree, Ukraine takes consumer drones and turns them into pinpoint bombers or ultra fast suicide drones.

      IMO the only reason political violence hasn’t been more common is people afraid of losing what they have. But they’re soon to lose it anyway.

      Except for the assassination of Abe, which was a resounding success by any measure. The perp got everything he wanted and more.

        President Garfield also got merked. Mostly the fault of an RFK-grade doctor than the actual shooter, though. I hope we get that for Trump - he deserves to die at the paws of his own incompetent administration.

    I would love to see it but the real change can only come from dems sweeping midterms.

    There is a whole order of succession which empowers the christofascit VP and then christofascist house speaker, christofascist senate leader, christofascist secretary of state, etc.

    There is a chance the cult of personality crumbles, but also a chance he becomes a martyr.

    There’s already been like five attempts, and two of them got shots off. Eventually, someone might get lucky.

    If we’re being real, it’s not likely at all. He’s probably safer than Biden was.

    Not only does the secret service impose incredibly tight security (not perfect, mind you), but Trump doesn’t go anywhere except the White House and his shithole golf course.

    In order to assassinate him, it would probably have to be an inside job. That seems exceptionally unlikely.

      He’s also useful. A lot of the kinds of people who might wish to be rid of him back in the day would much rather put him to use for their own ends.

    Considering how badly he is fucking up corporate and international interests, I think the parade being a JFK moment is likely. If so, I will buy a bottle of Martinelli’s and some takeout.

    Statistically, he’ll die of poor health in the next four years. He’s very unhealthy, and very old. Medicine can only do so much.

    CIA with Israel killed JFK. Israel picked Trump as the most supportive of genocide. It’s fair that every other politician would still support it, though perhaps not as far as a war on Iran.

    The CIA is a “US Corporatist global champion deal facilitator”. But Trump has picked loyalists at the top of intelligence and military apparatus. Unlike the past, where best people, defined as pure warmongering evil devoted, had these jobs, current batch of diaper licking appointees lose their jobs if “crazy daddy” impeached/exterminated from policy relevance.

    So none of “JFK’s checks and balances” apply today. Russia war not as important as maximum zionism.

        JFK movie, Oliver Stone, got a lot of it right, with mob cutouts including Jacob Rubenstein. The Israel motivation is the threat to force zionist supremacists to register as foreign agents, and disapproved of Israel’s nuclear program. Global peace rhethoric, and lack of full war on Cuba, Laos, Vietnam made a lot of other enemies within US.

        The obvious coverup of the assassination, was not to protect a small gang of agitators where involvement would end, unless they could rat out higher ups.

    He’s not going to do any more of those mass rallies so long as he can get his narcissistic supply somewhere else.
