Why has there not been a third assassination attempt on Trump? The first two seem to happen so rapidly. The first one took place during an election campaign, but the shooter had so much time to take the shot. Staged or not, there seems to be many of more people pissed off in this day and age about what is going on in the current state of everything. I ask you, why has there not been another assassination attempt yet? (Conspiracy Theories Galore)

    Trump is not what’s causing most of the issues in America. He may be a loose cannon and making everything worse, but the real damage is coming from a few very rich people bribing government officials to change laws, and they’ve been doing this for a long time.

    Even if you killed every person who made the system this bad, you’d still be left with a system designed to oppress the masses and make rich people richer. Assassinations aren’t a silver bullet (unless made of silver).

      If this isn’t illegal, I don’t understand why. 😐

        Because the ones who such a law would bind are, notably, the same ones who would need to enact and enforce it, largely.

    There’s plenty of assassins out there but the secret service does a good job of blocking the public from getting at him. I’m sure he gets many credible death threats and there’s many would-be assassins; they just haven’t gotten close enough to be considered attempts.

    Would-be assassin’s have realised he’s protected by a supernatural force and it’s not a good idea to get on the wrong side of such things.

    You think vance would be better? Or anyone else down the line? The entire line of succession is stacked deep with turds. They might be green or brown instead of orange, but they’re still going to stink.

    So killing Trump does nothing useful. At most, it might, might shift power structures within the GOP that could result in a better candidate next election, assuming we’re allowed to have one.
