Our breathtaking icon was bestowed upon us by @Cevilia!
The greatest banner of all time: by @TheOneWithTheHair!
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...
Calling it now: it will be one of his MAGA supporters who feels betrayed somehow.
very small... I mean, can you imagine the accuracy needed for a bullet to find his brain?
I'd say there's zero chance, he could probably easily outlive us all somehow.
May the Lord look down upon us in favour.
Even my Trump loving coworker thinks he's psychotic now.
Well, considering he was an inch or two away from already being in this category, I'd say higher than otherwise. You can also say that since this DID happen, he will have increased security making it less likely. So, I guess I'm not too sure.
He should stand in front of a high window and contemplate the possibility.
Stupid useless post. Not happening at this point.
Highly unlikely and I hope to god it doesn't happen. Imagine the hagiography that would surround the piece of shit were that to happen.
And it's not like JD Couchmolester, DeSantis or their other top figures would be preferable.
He's already a head of the cult, this damage is done
Do you remember how much nobody cared when he smeared ketchup on his face?
Because that was a pathetic nothing. His head getting back and to the left might be a different story
If he keeps pissing off China, maybe.
The left takes more of a peaceful protest and hope for midterms approach.
He's doing Xi's work of destroying the US as a world power. Why would Xi be mad at him?
Gotta also consider the odds that he's not there for much longer anyway. The Project 2025/Heritage Foundation people got JD Vance in as VP as they wanted--he's one of them.
So I've been predicting since he won that the 25th Amendment will be used (if something else doesn't happen to him), probably not until after the midterms so Vance can still run for 2 more terms. They need to set up the right conditions before ousting him, which will be making him look physically incapable of continuing, like saying he's had a stroke or something. Congress/Senate has to believe it so they'll go along with it.
This. I'm guessing the insiders and Mr. Moneybags are observing plenty of evidence of mental decay. Enough to invoke the 25th.
The 25th can be used for any reason, not just mental decay. We already know the magats are fine with the mental decay.
If that's really their plan, they'll have a rude awakening. They created this monster, and you don't replace the person at the center of a cult of personality that easily.
That's why they can't go with the obvious route of saying he has dementia issues--the cult wouldn't hear of that. But he can conveniently have a debilitating event or illness. Sure, the cult will have conspiracy theories, which is why they have to be sure to make it look plausible. But even if they have to resort to him having an "unfortunate accident", there's nothing the cult can really do about it, he'll be gone. He's just too unpredictable and uncontrollable for them to let him keep going rogue so much. Destroying the global economy and causing a worldwide depression is not part of their plans.
I'm not sure if he'll get unalived with funny prejudice, but if I had to give pointers, don't aim for the head, it's unlikely to hit any vital organ in there.
Idk. The devil takes care of his own.
It's hard to say. He's definitely closer to it than any president since JFK. But security is way better these days. And before the FBI comes knocking on my door, this is just an objective analysis.
We've already had a shooter with a near miss. So clearly there's the will to do this among some segment of the population. Probably a conservative who feels betrayed or person who is truly far left, (not just a progressive).
However, security during the campaign and for JFK was a lot less than it is now. It's going to be a lot harder to get close enough with a rifle. If you think of a plan the USSS has already thought about it and probably has a counter of some sort.
So while he's definitely the closest, I don't think we'll see another president assassinated unless they do something truly stupid like gut the USSS.
That first attempt the shooter was seen beforehand and they did a quick check...he did end uo getting into position again AND took the shot.
Needless to say when security is that incompetent, it is highly likely he'll see his demise in such a manner.
We’ve already had a shooter with a near miss. ... Probably a conservative who feels betrayed or person who is truly far left, (not just a progressive).
That person had been searching for info on the schedules of both Biden and trump. That along with some of the other info we learned about him makes me think it wasn't so much a partisan political motivation as the desire to become famous and/or take someone famous down on his way off the planet.
But if the school shooting crowd decides that going after presidents gets them more attention, then only one of them has to get lucky.
