Don't forget, the volunteer firefighter was MAGA, so...

There's no God, if there was the bullet would have hit Trump in the face. But just like Hitler he evaded every attempt on his life. Honestly, the resemblance with Hitler is insane. Doesn't drink alcohol, has weird hair, spreads hate and fear, targets minorities, sends them to a concentration camp across the border, targets judges, media and politicians opposing him. Only difference is that Hitler actually improved the German economy, something Trump fails misseably at.

I'm honestly not sure that Trump's death would have been the best thing for the world.

Hear me out.

If Trump were assassinated, he would have become a martyr - and it would have been easy to paint the Left as the culprits, thus obliterating any chance of winning the upcoming election, and more. But it wouldn't have been Trump who won the presidency - it would have been someone more capable and more subtle.

Trump is laying such waste to the government that he's quickly turning people against him - and his vanity and incompetence are undermining his own party's efforts to secure their power. As long as we survive the current attacks on democracy - which is, admittedly, a big if - then he may have utterly destroyed the power base for the GOP for a long time to come. A destruction that wouldn't have happened if someone with their sanity intact had landed the office.

We're going to suffer in the meantime, but at least we have a chance to turn it around - a chance that may not have happened if Trump had eaten that bullet.

If trump would have died, JD Vance wouldn't be 2nd in command. When he dies now, JD gets the throne and he's a lot worse.

People were done with Trump during and after his first term. Even Fox. But people forgot his shitshow within a few years.

He might have become a martyr, but remember he was shot by a republican. So the damages wouldn't be as big as when it would have been a democrat, or an immigrant.

Political assassination is almost always bad, but there are a few cases where it actually would be beneficial. Like with Hitler for example. Trump is Hitler the second, so I believe it wouldn't be that bad when he would go. Except for now, because JD is Hitler on steroids. So please, Donny, don't die for the next 4 years.
