How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?
How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?
Sure, there was the attempted assassination of Reagan and the fears for Obama as the first black President, but in those cases it was a lone nutter rather than a conspiracy.
How long can Trump crash the market before an angry billionaire decides to take him out? The remaining Koch brother is already pouring money into legal challenges against Trump...
He'll probably succumb to his lifestyle choices first. He might even get bird flu or a virus long thought eradicated. It would be really tragic if it was something climate related like his Florida home sinking into the ocean.
I'll be honest, seeing this sudden shift to openness talking about this when knowing how controlled the narrative is even here, makes me think this might actually be part of the narrative they're now trying to push.
I could definitely be wrong about that, but I've seen this brought up here a few times and even last night there was an AskReddit about what Americans would feel is the final straw to have Trump removed from power.
I actually was talking about this in a post a few days ago. If Vance suddenly succeeded Trump as president, it would not fix anything, and it would likely make things much worse
It's probably pretty low. The secret service was already caught with their pants down once when that guy took a shot at Trump over the summer, so they're probably going to be on high alert for a while. On top of that, Trump is better protected as the President than a candidate, with access to the White House, Air Force One, the Beast (his Limo), etc. There are probably more people who want to take a shot at him than other Presidents, but I doubt it's gonna happen.
Gotta also consider the odds that he's not there for much longer anyway. The Project 2025/Heritage Foundation people got JD Vance in as VP as they wanted--he's one of them.
So I've been predicting since he won that the 25th Amendment will be used (if something else doesn't happen to him), probably not until after the midterms so Vance can still run for 2 more terms. They need to set up the right conditions before ousting him, which will be making him look physically incapable of continuing, like saying he's had a stroke or something. Congress/Senate has to believe it so they'll go along with it.
Well, considering he was an inch or two away from already being in this category, I'd say higher than otherwise. You can also say that since this DID happen, he will have increased security making it less likely. So, I guess I'm not too sure.
He should stand in front of a high window and contemplate the possibility.
Trump diskussed the tariff plans in 2023. Billionaires agree or they would have financed the Democrats much more.

I really hope he doesn’t. Trump fucking sucks but JD Vance would ramp it up 2 fold
If everyone keeps practicing, pretty good I suppose.
Not likely enough
I don't want that. Trump just need help to make good decisions. Until he finds it - he should not make any decisions by himself. Use the kongress where the different parties votes. And please Trump. Don't come up with any more ideas - you have already made too many decisions.
Stupid useless post. Not happening at this point.
A public assassination like Kennedy’s is meant to send a message. Trump would just have a cardiac event and never come out of the hospital. The real issue will be that he’s old and fat and eats trash, so he could have a legit health problem and die from natural causes easily at his age.
But then, President JD Vance. I don’t think anyone but Peter Thiel and Elon Musk want that. Trump sucks, but he’s the devil you know. Vance could be turboHitler or just hand the whole country to Silicon Valley. Rule by ChatGPT may be the worst of all possible worlds.
I don't think it's at all likely. Trump knows he's hated, and he isn't about to go and do a parade in a convertible. More importantly, the secret service knows he's hated and know they screwed up huge in letting someone take a shot at him, so they've dialed security up to 11.
Reagan and JFK were shot at a time when they had extremely high approval ratings. It was probably harder for the secret service to stay focused and for everyone to take threats seriously when that was the case.
This isn't a Hollywood movie where a billionaire can go on the dark web and hire The Jackal or something. If they were to try to place a hit, most of The Jackals out there are probably feds posing as hitmen.
But, let's say somehow a billionaire could find people willing to make the attempt. Trying to assassinate the US president is a suicide mission. If someone tries to do it as a lone gunman, they're going up against the entire secret service. They may get the attack in, but they're almost certainly not going to get away. If it's a group of attackers, the more people, the more communications, the more communications, the more opportunities for the NSA to spot them.
And, this is one time we don't have to worry about nation-states attacking the president. The US is punching itself in the dick over and over right now. If you're someone who wants the US to fail, you just have to stand by and watch. In fact, if an enemy's surveillance of the US turned up a plan to kill Trump, they'd probably warn the secret service to make sure Trump stays in power as long as possible.
If we're being real, it's not likely at all. He's probably safer than Biden was.
Not only does the secret service impose incredibly tight security (not perfect, mind you), but Trump doesn't go anywhere except the White House and his shithole golf course.
In order to assassinate him, it would probably have to be an inside job. That seems exceptionally unlikely.
I hear he's planning a parade even bigger than Anwar Sadat's.
It's hard to say. He's definitely closer to it than any president since JFK. But security is way better these days. And before the FBI comes knocking on my door, this is just an objective analysis.
We've already had a shooter with a near miss. So clearly there's the will to do this among some segment of the population. Probably a conservative who feels betrayed or person who is truly far left, (not just a progressive).
However, security during the campaign and for JFK was a lot less than it is now. It's going to be a lot harder to get close enough with a rifle. If you think of a plan the USSS has already thought about it and probably has a counter of some sort.
So while he's definitely the closest, I don't think we'll see another president assassinated unless they do something truly stupid like gut the USSS.
As much as I hate the guy I hope he isn't killed. The last thing we need is republicans having a martyr, especially before they find out how bad for them he is.
With tariff fallout there are decent chances they will not have a majority for a long time. After the tariff act of 1930 they went from having 14 seats more than democrats to a low of 16 seats out of 96 In senate in just 8 years. After that they had a senate majority once and congress majority twice in the next 50+ years.
It’s a question that can’t really be answered until it can be answered
I think by the time we hit 2026 there will be tens of millions who voted MAGA who wish that last year's attempt would have succeeded, but logistically, it's basically impossible now. Anything that might get Trump would probably have to be powerful enough to take out a whole crowd, and that's just very unlikely.
It's also debatable whether it would even be a good thing. Political assassinations always have ramifications that weren't planned for, but on the other hand, Trump is basically a cult leader and cults always shrivel a bit when the leader passes on.
🤞🏻
My hope the shooter is a Big Mac.
Unlikely any bigger conspiracy or billionaire will try. They could wait 3.5 years and not have to bother with anything illegal.
MAGA candidates don't seem to do well without Trump, so even if a republican wins it's unlikely to be whatever this is.
If he is somehow allowed to take a dump on the constitution and get a 3rd term, maybe.
When the rule of law has been abandoned then frontier justice makes an appearance.
If it didnt happen last time, and a close yet unsuccessful attempt was made this time. My money is on, Trump lives to start harping about a third term in 2028.
If it happens, its going to be a gavrillo princip type of deal, the more planning that goes into it, the more likely the conspirators get caught simply for the amount of surveilence that goes on in this world.
if anyone is going to merk a world leader. its going to be something spur of the moment, wrong turn, wrong person, wrong time.
I was watching an amateur video of him, not 500 feet away, on a golf course a few weeks ago. What do the kids say? Cooked? The last guy who almost got him by a few inches was a registered Republican btw. Of course it's more likely that he dies to double cheeseburgers now. Sad that the ones who will replace him are arguably much worse than him.
He is messing with rich peoples money now so I’d say that’s pretty risky.
As long as he doesn’t try to make peace with Communist nations, our MIC won’t kill him like they did to JFK*.
- That’s now a fact since the Kennedy files have been released.
Not likely enough. There is already enough for his entire office to be the first ones prosecuted for treason but nobody got the balls.
I perfer him to die from the bullet of his own in a bunker (or natural causes after creating a great recession), so that people can stop worshiping toxicity and learn from the mistakes.
If there is no Hoover, there probably will never be a Roosevelt and the new deal.
Pretty low, considering the quality of the attempts so far.
Idk. The devil takes care of his own.
He is certainly one of the most likely to die in office. Just on a purely actuarial basis, I should think.
Shhh! We don't know if there might be some plan in motion!
I'm not sure if he'll get unalived with funny prejudice, but if I had to give pointers, don't aim for the head, it's unlikely to hit any vital organ in there.
I mean hey I pray for his downfall at my bedside before I lay down to rest at night maybe that'll get him eventually.
pretty unlikely, but two people have already tried...
So i guess we can't leave cards off the table. Just needs the correct moment, and opportune time, which is going to be a huge pain point for any would be attempter. If there are any, they're likely to be like the first two.
Not to mention we would have JD vance as president at that point, and honestly, i have no idea what happens after that.
🤞
Just ask the Simpsons. They are like a modern crystal ball.
he surrounding himself not with loyalists only but also cowards
CIA with Israel killed JFK. Israel picked Trump as the most supportive of genocide. It's fair that every other politician would still support it, though perhaps not as far as a war on Iran.
The CIA is a "US Corporatist global champion deal facilitator". But Trump has picked loyalists at the top of intelligence and military apparatus. Unlike the past, where best people, defined as pure warmongering evil devoted, had these jobs, current batch of diaper licking appointees lose their jobs if "crazy daddy" impeached/exterminated from policy relevance.
So none of "JFK's checks and balances" apply today. Russia war not as important as maximum zionism.
Hopes and prayers.
My bingo card/wish list - Trump gets tied up in litigation/impeachment (first pres to be impeached 3 or 4 times...bring it!) until he is out of office (I suspect his Outlook is already set that way). Then, after, nobody says his name ever again because...let's face it, everyone is just plain embarrassed that it happened - (R)'s (D)'s, even whack-a-doo (Others ... independent, green, what are those guys that think that everything is transactional...forget).
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Not enough.
It seems much more likely that he'll genocide millions of palestinians... among other things.
And even if he's killed, the next person will continue the genocide. Bi-partisan support.
Considering how badly he is fucking up corporate and international interests, I think the parade being a JFK moment is likely. If so, I will buy a bottle of Martinelli's and some takeout.
By Kennedy probably if they havent all had their jabs

Why would a billionaire be angry at Trump?
When that happens y'all are gonna need video proof that you last fucked your couch less that a week ago every time you leave home.
Billionaires love this guy they’re buying the dip and he’s dismantling the administrative state
Highly unlikely. The arms dealers are on his side.
Not nearly enough
And two attempts on Gerald Ford - Squeaky Fromme and Sarah Jane Moore
