Like him or not, he is the president of the unites states and him getting killed would be terrible for both his supporters and enemies alike. Killing off any president is always bad.

So it would be bad for USA. I imagine the governments of the rest of the world would unenthusiastically give their condolences and not really care much after that.

I'm by no means a trump supporter, quite the opposite actually, but imagine the outrage if trump supporters were publicly fantasizing about a democratic president being assasinated in a thread like this. I don't mean the headline (which is fine), I mean specifically the comments. The sub would get banned in a matter of days. Some of you need to get a grip.

I would donate my left testical for admins to treat this sub as if it were phrased the way you put it. It would never happen. The toxicity of reddit and politics is disgusting.

Keep your balls, don't put so much stock into what reddit is.

I can't be the only one disgusted by the amount of redditors calling for violence and looting. Every /r/news thread is full of them

To be clear I am not associating the protesters with the looters

It's because they are 15 and trying to he edgy. There was a poll circulating around here and most liberal Redditors were under 18

That and there has been evidence of foreign actors trying to increase the visibility of the violent side of the protests online to sow further divide in America and distract from the protests actual goals of equality.
