He'd probably go along with it if everyone just kept congratulating him or praising him for such a selfless sacrifice, coup de bugs bunny

He wouldn't because he literally doesn't understand the meaning of the word sacrifice. He was asked in the 2016 campaign what he has sacrificed for America and he replied that he created jobs.
that's like quoting the approval rating of putin or kim jong un
Look, I'll agree that the US has abysmal press freedom, but they're not quite at the level of Russia or NK yet.
They could shoot him in the middle of 5th Avenue and we'd find the assassin innocent.
Both are probably fake as fuck
I'm continually surprised how little that guy minces his words.
It's been refreshing as of late
Same. Most (tech) Youtubers love nothing more than fence sitting.
You really trust those polls? They're still done by landline telephone in the US, for fuck's sake.
Not anymore. Trump's rating got too bad, so Gallup stopped doing them.
So the polls are exclusively done by my parents. I don't know anyone who still has a landline except then.
It's been tried at least 3 times.
Wait, did I miss one?
3 were missed. Keep up :p
Austin Tucker Martin. Happened just a few days ago. Unless you missed one of the previous two. One in Butler, PA, and another one around Mar-a-Lago I think.
How lucky can fascist assholes be? Adolf Hitler survived 42 times... Only the last one not... killed by himself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_attempts_on_Adolf_Hitler
We can only hope Trump dies on age soon and the republicans lose due to that follower and power.
They swept the most recent one under the rug fast.
Yeah, there was no narrative. It was a Trump supporter, who mainly supported him to release the Epstein Files. So when he realized that Trump is majorly implicated in them, and is one of those Billionaire pedophiles, he tried to take matters into his own hands, so to say.
So far all of his would be assassins have been his own supporters. It's almost like railing up a bunch of idiots who worship guns, and then subsequently pissing them off, was a bad idea.
Right, I already forgot about him. Wow.
