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.
He was MAGA, but he still saved people because that was his job at least.
I mean...

Oh damn! Again, the similarities... But eventually he got the economy running, when he started to make vast amounts of war machines.
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.
No, we had our chance to turn it around, after 2020.
We boofed it by not throwing Trump and any loyalists in prison for treason.
Abso-fucking-lutely. He and his cronies deserve to rot in prison, labeled as treasonous bastards. But it seems that ship has sailed. And now we are left with the consequences of that inaction.
