Sorry, you think it's impossible to hurt Trump? Are you forgetting the bullet that passed an inch from his brain? A crazy person with a gun can change history in a second, and it would've been a terrible violent occurrence throughout society if it had come to pass.


At his level of wealth it's a choice to be that exposed physically, just as it's a choice to be exposed at that level psychologically is my point.

Someone with Trump's level of wealth could retire to an island and be like Elvis in his later years only dealing through people with intermediaries. They could have the best doctors, the best fitness regime and the best diet, and the best security and hundreds of miles between them and physical threats.


Agreed. As much damage as Trump is causing, I'm guessing that his assassination would increase the chances of an even worse scenario: civil war.

It would be a perfect psyop opportunity (I'm guessing) to trigger Trump's most enthusiastic fans.


Civil war when most people are hooked that much to medias and 60% obese is a really unrealistic development.


I genuinely can’t tell if it would lead to civil war or a collective shrug, Brian Thompson style.

Life is a reality TV show.


There are many, many other possibilities - all the possibilities that almost always happen. How bizarre to limit your options to those two things.
