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…
very small… I mean, can you imagine the accuracy needed for a bullet to find his brain?
Or his heart!
Well how many bullets to the ass do you think it would take to put a man down? Especially considering the generous proportions of Trump’s rump.
Its a target you can’t miss.
The area a sniper shoots to hit is about the size of a peach pit and isn’t actually a part that’s involved in cognition but rather it does all the autonomic shit you need to survive.
This is the type of alternative thinking we need to solve all our problems
God please no. We dont need him to be a martyr.
He’s a narcissist. It would be a good deterrent for other potential despots who are also self serving
Not saying it should happen, just martyrdom is maybe the least among the consequences if it did
He’ll probably succumb to his lifestyle choices first. He might even get bird flu or a virus long thought eradicated. It would be really tragic if it was something climate related like his Florida home sinking into the ocean.
I’d say 100% if there was any sort of karmic balance to the universe.
A clean death would not satisfy karma
If there were really karmic balance, Krasnov would die slowly from a humiliating and very painful natural cause.
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 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.
I mean, it takes all kinds right? A desire to go out big can manifest in so many ways and he didn’t go after an A list actor, or a CEO, or any number of other high profile people. There is a reason he decided on Trump, even if his original impetus was suicide.
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.
That’s part of my point though, he’s going to have the very best and about ten times the people on the job as compared to his security detail back then.
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.
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
🤞🏻
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.
My hope the shooter is a Big Mac.
May the Lord look down upon us in favour.
Even my Trump loving coworker thinks he’s psychotic now.
Now that it’s hitting his retirement account, I assume?
No we’re Canadian.
Third time’s the charm.
His cult will get him, I have no doubt. Every single one of those insane nutbags wants a piece of his fame, and thats a sure fire way to get it.
I’ll be honest, seeing this sudden shift to openness talking about this when knowing how controlled the narrative is even here, makes me think this might actually be part of the narrative they’re now trying to push.
I could definitely be wrong about that, but I’ve seen this brought up here a few times and even last night there was an AskReddit about what Americans would feel is the final straw to have Trump removed from power.
I actually was talking about this in a post a few days ago. If Vance suddenly succeeded Trump as president, it would not fix anything, and it would likely make things much worse
It’s probably pretty low. The secret service was already caught with their pants down once when that guy took a shot at Trump over the summer, so they’re probably going to be on high alert for a while. On top of that, Trump is better protected as the President than a candidate, with access to the White House, Air Force One, the Beast (his Limo), etc. There are probably more people who want to take a shot at him than other Presidents, but I doubt it’s gonna happen.
A counterpoint: unmanned technology has developed really fast recently. In old times, one had to be motivated as hell, because taking a shot at a president meant likely death.
In our days, for a technically capable adversary, an attempt costs only moderate amounts, escape is far more likely, and tools can rigged with self-destruction mechanisms to considerably hinder evidence collection.
I’d say that barriers are lower due to drones and robots. Then again, to get drones and robots pointed at oneself, one has to piss off people who have better things to do. That is, people who are unlikely to be desperate, since they could likely emigrate and find a well-paying job in a week.
If I try to predict a profile, I come up with “a technically competent person with an incurable disease, no longer covered by health insurance”. Or perhaps “a war veteran with an incurable disease”.
Maybe, but I imagine the Secret Service has a drone-attack plan. I would guess that most of D.C. is probably a no-fly zone for drones, and they probably lock down the White House it anyone violates it. I think as long as he continues to split his time between Mar-a-Lago and the White House, Trump is relatively safe.
If he starts doing more speaking tours, though, that might make him more vulnerable. There’s also a staggering amount of disorder and incompetence because of his attacks on federal workers and his terrible cabinet appointments, so I guess it’s possible he’s already opened himself up to security risks. Who knows.
He should stand in front of a high window and contemplate the possibility.
You’re absolutely right that, if he is, it will probably be an inside and/or professional job, not some rando trying to show off for an underage Jodie Foster. He’s pissing in some dangerous people’s weeds right now.
Are pro hitmen real though? I don’t think I’ve ever seen news about a pro hit job.
