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...
He is messing with rich peoples money now so I’d say that’s pretty risky.
It’s a question that can’t really be answered until it can be answered
🙏
My bingo card/wish list - Trump gets tied up in litigation/impeachment (first pres to be impeached 3 or 4 times...bring it!) until he is out of office (I suspect his Outlook is already set that way). Then, after, nobody says his name ever again because...let's face it, everyone is just plain embarrassed that it happened - (R)'s (D)'s, even whack-a-doo (Others ... independent, green, what are those guys that think that everything is transactional...forget).
Hopes and prayers.
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

100% chance but mostly because i think that the plan
I've been saying this for months. How long until 47 "has a stroke."
Had some polonium tea, fell out a window, then shot himself in the back of the head.
A public assassination like Kennedy’s is meant to send a message. Trump would just have a cardiac event and never come out of the hospital. The real issue will be that he’s old and fat and eats trash, so he could have a legit health problem and die from natural causes easily at his age.
But then, President JD Vance. I don’t think anyone but Peter Thiel and Elon Musk want that. Trump sucks, but he’s the devil you know. Vance could be turboHitler or just hand the whole country to Silicon Valley. Rule by ChatGPT may be the worst of all possible worlds.
anyone but Peter Thiel and Elon Musk want that.
And Putin
Vance has no conviction behind anything he ever says. Just google "jd vance never trump" and I'm sure you'll find a slew of videos from a few years ago where he was saying he's "a never trump guy".
Kinda funny how quickly he spread his asshole to present himself for trump then.
Trump sucks, but he’s the devil you know. Vance could be turboHitler or [...]
I don't buy that.
Whoever would be able, and willing, and succeeding with the first one, is an evil person, and would already have a plan with the second one. An evil plan, I guess, that would make the second one scared enough to become that puppet.
Trump crashing the economy, Trump dying from whatever, Vance taking over and taking credit for any kind of recovery sounds almost like its planned.
Nah. The damage Trump has done can't be undone.
Sure vance might replace him and take credit for any recovery, but this level of destruction was not planned.
YES. This guy gets it. Nobody understands how lucky we are to have this fuckwit as president. Do you see all these actual fascists constantly up in his prostate? Trump was a proof of concept. These taint-lickers are panting to have control. Let's see how his mouth-breathing paint-eating constituency acts when this fat fuck is dead. Probably no different, but maybe.
WE ARE NOT LUCKY TO HAVE A FUCKING HALF-DEAD RETARD AS PRESIDENT. THIS IS NOT OKAY AT ANY FUCKING LEVEL.
Your president is half-dead on a few levels sweetie.
Yeah but the difference is Trump has the magnetism and Vance doesn't? Usually when a cult leader dies the whole cult kinda fizzles out.
Exactly this. Donald Trump has the Charisma to assemble a cult whereas then these other people can hold together the coalition. Everyone's just writing Trump's coattails so without him the whole thing just falls apart
Sure the cult does, but the dictatorship they left doesn't fizzle out.
I think what you call "magnetism" is the balls to straight up lie to your supporters like they're stupid. Seriously, I think Trump demonstrated that you can just say whatever feels good and people will accept it with zero regard for reality. That's what was assumed false before Trump. I think they know the game plan now.
But he also says it stupid like them, in a way that can't be faked. That's why they love him. It's the classic "wanting to hear your opinion in someone else's voice". They want to hear their shitty opinions in someone else's voice. Except because they're idiots, they get grammar and syntax wrong. Or they ramble through a dozen conspiracy theories in a single run on sentence. No one but trump can carry on the way he does (at least without a script).
Tell that to the Christians. You might even say their leader dying sparked the whole thing.
It was much easier to fake a resurrection back then.
I mean… have you seen how good ML-generated videos are getting these days?
I was watching an amateur video of him, not 500 feet away, on a golf course a few weeks ago. What do the kids say? Cooked? The last guy who almost got him by a few inches was a registered Republican btw. Of course it's more likely that he dies to double cheeseburgers now. Sad that the ones who will replace him are arguably much worse than him.
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.
The cult of personality won't matter once the Christian Nationalist movement takes hold.
