    He loves to flex that he can go out in public, with no fear. When’s the last time Trump made an appearance in public?

    Trump knows he’s not safe outside of his ivory tower.

      I had that sort of thought myself not long ago. If Donald Trump just showed up in front of me out of the blue one day, would I try to kill him?

      I don’t consider myself a radical or revolutionary. I’m not gunning to be the next big-name presidential assassin to appear in the history books. I’m just a normal, everyday person trying to get by, one day at a time.

      But I think I would. I dunno. Maybe a lot of other normal people feel the same way.

          I had the opportunity in '24 while he was campaigning. I was alone in the room with him for about two minutes. He was repulsive and I refused to say a word to him beyond a brief introduction as I was escorted into the room. I had a sizable knife and a multi-tool on me at the time. My friends and family will never let me live down the opportunity I threw away, but I wouldn’t have made it out alive. I’m realizing now, they’re essentially saying they’d rather have him dead than me alive.

              They were tools I was permitted to have for work. We had a hard out time of 6pm the night before. We were directed to leave any tools on site. Gestapo swept the facility overnight. They’re looking for guns and bombs. We were searched upon entering the day of the event. My tools were waiting for me when I came in. I was not searched again.

              I work around targets like him once or twice a year and this is normal.

      If I met Biden in public, I would very much want to tell him in person:

      1. He was my last choice in the 2018 Dem Primary. I met him, shook his hand, thought him an idiot.
      2. He was a very good POTUS who (1) surrounded himself with competent people and (2) listened to them (the two most important abilities of any POTUS)
      3. He can still get close enough to Trump to bite down on The Tooth…

      Thing is, Trump doesn’t even be around “normal” people. There’s a reason why he owns golf resorts with astronomical membership fees (apart from earning money, of course).

    I know he wasn’t seeming very well before he quit his reelection campaign, but just think how hugely better things would have been with him still president.

    Honestly though… if I saw him on a commercial flight, I would very sarcastically thank him for losing the republic, and would finish with “nothing will fundamentally change”.

    I used to think he had been a decent president. But after his term ended and new information came out it became clear that he was always onboard with genocide in Gaza. The nickname Genocide Joe will never die. Zionist asshole.

      There were signs before he was president, he was the biggest recipient of donations from pro Israeli groups during his 36 years in the senate. He consistently voted with the war hawks. Biden always was a genocidal shitbag.

        You’re right, of course.

        It’s funny how leftists will criticize people who agree with them because they didn’t come to that conclusion within a convenient time frame.

        I didn’t find out that Biden had always been a Zionist until fairly recently. He was quite vocal about it when he was a senator, apparently. Was I supposed to research political activity that happened before I was born?
