There’s a Reason Trump Keeps Getting Assassination Attempts Against Him
He’s Had Two Would-Be Attempts on His Life By Former GOP Supporters
A whirlwind week of controversy and drama ended yesterday with yet another failed assassination attempt on former president and current candidate Donald Trump. This time, it happened at Trump International Golf Club. The would-be shooter hid in the bushes, some 500 to 600 yards away. If he would have had a clear shot, he could have possibly killed the former president.
After being whisked away by Secret Service members, Trump joked that he wished it hadn’t happened, because he had a birdie putt and was even for the day on his score. Sure, Donald. Because you don’t cheat at golf, like at everything else in life.
And that’s what matters, right? After almost getting shot a second time in ten weeks, you lament that you didn’t get to finish your round of golf. Because it’s always all about “me, me, ME,” right?
This week has been an eventful one for the Fluorescent Führer. After getting his ass handed to him by a far more qualified, educated woman in Tuesday’s presidential debate, Trump limped off the stage, licking his wounds. Looking for attention after losing the debate, he made a surprise appearance in the spin room, looking for people to hype up his debate performance.
Keep looking, Don-Old, you performed abysmally. Nobody gives a damn about you.
After failing miserably against Vice-President Kamala Harris, Trump went on the warpath. He angrily spouted lies and baseless claims about winning the debate. He attacked Taylor Swift after her public Twitter post about supporting Kamala in the upcoming election, just hours after the debate. Then he posted something ugly and immature on his far-right website “Truth” Social.
“I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”
That’s not a smart strategy, Con-OLD. With Taylor’s Instagram post about supporting Kamala Harris sitting at 11.1 million likes, she’s someone you shouldn’t mess with in an angry, junior-high-aged way. Her post has led to over 400,000 voters registering online. Pissing off her fandom isn’t winning Trump any votes.
There’s a more serious, dangerous aspect to this, though. Trump loyalists from Cult 45 may target Swift fans with violence. If you’re a Swiftie and living in a red state, you might want to keep those shirts in the dresser until election season is over. It could get dangerous out there.
Trump certainly is realizing this.
After echoing running mate JD Vance’s baseless, racist claims that Haitian immigrants are eating their neighbors’ cats and dogs, Trump is putting a bullseye directly on himself. By fanning the flames of racism and bigotry with every bullshit claim he’s spewing from his overtime-working mouth, he’s making himself a target. And not just from Democrats who are tired of his angry brand of wilful ignorance.
Both of the people who wanted to assassinate him had once supported the Republican party.
This was true of the shooter who was killed in the July attempt on Trump’s life. He made campaign donations in the past and posted some pro-GOP online opinions. But then something changed. He donated a small amount to the Democratic party during the 2020 election season.
The same is true about Ryan Wesley Routh, the would-be shooter in yesterday’s attempt on Donald Trump’s life. Though he once supported Trump, he most recently made social media posts showing favor toward President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. So what can we learn about these two potential assassins?
It seems as though they both changed their minds about Trump’s policies and rhetoric. Perhaps being openly racist, bigoted, sexist, and lying constantly angered them enough to withdraw their support. And aim an assault rifle at the former president.
It is not acceptable to attempt to assassinate our political rivals. Rarely have we witnessed such horribly dramatic crimes against US politicians. There have only been a handful of such attempts during our nation’s 248-year-old history.
Donald Trump has had two leveled against him in the past two months.
People are done with his racism and bigotry. Nobody other than his brainwashed MAGA minions finds his personal attacks against anyone who opposes him cute or acceptable. They are fed the fuck up with his constant pissing and moaning. He takes zero accountability for his many deplorable actions.
Donald Trump and JD Vance are running their campaign into the ground. This happens when you make ridiculous, baseless claims such as immigrants eating their neighbors' pets. Or claiming that babies are being born and killed after birth, aborted retroactively. Their scare tactics and lies are pissing off Americans everywhere.
A couple of them were angry enough to attempt to kill.
Americans are wondering about the state of Donald Trump’s mental health. Now the elderly candidate of the two at age 78, Trump seems to become angrier and more unhinged by the day. With less than two months left in the 2024 presidential race, he’s saying reprehensible things at his rallies. Things that may cause violence and death to his detractors. Possibly even to himself.
Donald doesn’t think things through. He seems to have no filter when he becomes moody and irritated. He is unfit to be the President of the United States of America. A second Trump presidency will be the nail in the coffin for freedom and equality for all of America’s diverse citizens.
Only the worst people in society still support Trump at this late stage of the 2024 election. What other reason could decent people find to support a piece of toxic shit such as Trump? There are only two reasons for still supporting a morally bankrupt, ignorant fool:
You appreciate his racism, bigotry, and sexism because you hold those traits yourself.
You are also a bully with no manners and class, just like him.
Regardless of the reason, Trump and Vance will be defeated in the November 5th election. After losing by over 7 million votes in 2020, Trump is poised to lose by many more in 2024. His tired, feeble attempts to circumvent justice by grabbing power in the election will fail.
His doom-and-gloom scare tactics only steel the resolve of good Americans who are fed up with his bullshit. We will not allow Trump to pillage our country and become a wannabe dictator. He doesn’t get to enrich himself and his wealthy friends while making poor and middle-class Americans suffer financially.
We hold the power, through our votes. Use that power on November 5th and show this bastard the door: The door to his prison cell. He’ll be safer behind bars rather than having assault rifles aimed in his direction as of late.

According to The NYT: “The charges: Possession of a firearm as a felon…[and]…[p]ossession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number…” No charges for attempted anything.
Oh who really cares? TFG is the one who’s raised the heat level. He divided us. Brought out the worst people imaginable. Gave them permission to wear their racism, sexism and misogyny proudly and loudly.
Enough already.
Let’s put the trash out in November.
