I don't give these kinds of things much credence, considering that we get this everytime an election happens. Hell, when Obama was elected, a lot of 'Anti-Socialist' citizens were calling for his assassination, and the same happened in reverse when Trump was elected in 2016. Granted 2020 and 2021 are and are going to be a lot more hot than 2008 and 2016, but Presidents and former Presidents being shot down poses a threat to the system, and obviously, they want the system to be maintained, because why fix something if it isn't broken?

They never actually tried to do it, though. Have you not been keeping up with the news? Did you not hear about the gunmen who broke into the White House and got into a shootout with the Secret Service?

I heard about it. I'm pretty sure I remember some Autistic guy being manipulated by his girlfriend into trying during the 2016 campaign run. But to be honest, I'm not convinced. Two people have tried, which is definitely more than usual (usual being, 0 or 1). What I mean is the system, no matter who is in power, be them Obama, Trump, Biden, has a vested interest in keeping the system going. A puppet master doesn't necessarily throw out his old puppets when he gets a new one.

Trump has towed the Jewish line, it's just harder to control what comes out of his mouth due purely to his personality. They have no real interest in calling for his murder besides rallying non-whites, and for faux tough-guy talk.

You haven't been keeping up to date. This incident happened 5 days ago. Gunmen tried to assassinate the sitting President of the United States.

Yeah, I know. I was talking about that, and all the previous attempts.

Plus, lets be honest, he's undisputedly the most powerful man in the world right now. I'd wager there are attempts we never hear about. That goes for all US Presidents.
