even worse if it's done by a foreign entity. then all the maga chuds would 100% be bleating and yammering for all out nuclear bombardment on whatever side of the planet it came from
At this point any attempt will be deemed to have foreign origins.
It sounds like Trump becoming a martyr is a massive problem. Sorry for my ignorance, but would it be a problem to explain how?
Trump's camp is full of conspiracy theorists. Being assassinated would lead to many of his followers thinking it happened because progressives saw the danger in him winning a second term.
The better option for politics in America is for as much of his actions to come to light as possible so his own followers can come to the correct conclusion on their own: he's a liar and a fraud.
I mean bless you but that ain’t going to happen.
Many of those people need literally years of deprogramming and even then the prognosis is probably quite poor.
What would be more helpful is to give high school kids a mandatory course in digital marketing and communications. Let them literally see dollars rolling onto an account after something is posted online and monetised. No one seems so distinguish between ads and facts anymore. Seent it on Insta? Shit’s as real as the air you’re breathing, to many people these days. Given the opportunity to understand why someone would post BS online and to connect the dots that it’s literally for a few cents of attention I think that society would change for the better.
so his own followers can come to the correct conclusion on their own
Oh you sweet summer child...
Why would Iran want to assassinate Trump?
Edit:
Steven Cheung, the Trump campaign’s spokesperson, said the briefing concerned “real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate [Trump] in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States”.
And...
The Iranian motivation to kill Trump is believed to stem from a desire for revenge over his decision when he was president to order the US strike that killed Maj Gen Qassim Soleimani, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ elite Quds force in January 2020.
And he pulled out of a mutually beneficial nuclear treaty so that he could slap a bunch of sanctions on them.
Haha little do they know...
As other people have said, it would be way worse to have him him assassinated. If it's looking like he's going to lose, I could see the people who want the US unstable to prefer assassinating him instead.
I think stabilize was the word they're looking for.
Laughed out loud at this.
To paraphrase a famous Trump quote, "Iran, if you're listening...."
Hold off until January and we'll ship him to you in a crate with a few air holes.
If you skip the air holes, you can claim Trump is both dead and alive, as long as no one opens the box. It is a win for both sides!
Lmao this one got me
Secret Service watching the growing line of buffoons fail to kill a geriatric cheeto:
assassination is Trump's biggest fundraiser
If he actually dies I bet he could win lol
Shouldn’t we just move past this?
He doesn't look like a briefs guy, more like a cheap adult diaper type.
Gee Diaper Don, why is everyone trying to kill you? You think maybe YOU are the bad guy?
By far the best outcome for the GOP is for Trump to get got.
They can win elections on this forever, and walk in any solid corpo-fascist they want under a Maga hat, for instance jd Vance.
