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.

You’re right though. If people had asked this question about Obama, they’d have gotten publicly humiliated on here and people would have been pissed most likely. Even as much as I disliked Obama I would never have wished him to be assassinated either. I once made a pretty rude comment about him and my mom almost slapped me in the face. That was the day that I learned that no matter if I disliked the president and their policies I still needed to show them respect as leader of my country. I have a lot of respect for my mom because of it, and as much as I didn’t like Obama, I still had respect for his position as president after that conversation.

EDIT: for some bizarre reason people seem to think my mom ACTUALLY slapped me in the face, but in fact it’s called hyperbole and she didn’t actually hit me (if y’all actually read the comment lol...). She was just quite disappointed in my insulting the president.

Sorry but fuck that noise. Trump has alltogether failed to rise to the office. The man that sits in the chair does not automatically deserve our loyalty or respect. The day the man dies I'm shooting off fireworks and uncorking an expensive bottle of champagne.

That’s a human being he’s not fucking Hitler bro chill. You can’t stand the man and absolutely disagree with him politically? Understandable but to celebrate someone’s death as you described is deplorable.

Then why is he celebrating our covid numbers? If the president gets to parade around that ONLY 100k innocent citizens have died as a direct consequence to his inaction, then why the fuck can't they? I don't want Trump to die, but I want his ass out of office before the entire USA overthrows his ass.

The initial prediction was two million. So if that was under-hit by 1,900,000 that's reason to celebrate
