What we know so far is that the person who had plans to assassinate Donald Trump today is a pretty rabid progressive.
Current reports note he attempted an incursion to the Trump golf course, the Secret Service spotted him and opened fire, and he fled. He has been arrested. He never fired. The Secret Service did their job.
On MSNBC, there is blame towards Donald Trump. He, apparently, is making crazy progressives want to shoot him. There is upset that twice the shooters have not been successful.
This is the second attempt on Donald Trump’s life. The left and, in particular, the President and Vice President, continue to scream Nazi, threat to democracy, etc. Crazy people believe such things. The New York Times has a significant opinion piece this weekend tying J.D. Vance to the Nazis.
On MSNBC, just the other day, they had a guest tying Donald Trump to the Nazis and claiming the United States is in a similar period to the pre-Third Reich Germany.
The problem is these people really believe it. And, naturally, when you believe it, you want to stop Hitler. So, the left is openly talking in such a way to get Donald Trump killed. They want him dead because who doesn’t want to stop the second Hitler?
It is also a pretty big indication that the left and Democrats are not so sure Kamala Harris can stop him through democratic means. This is another reason for Donald Trump to focus on making sure he does win.
I was listening to someone’s rant on tv the other day who compared Trump and his dream for America to pre-war 1930’s Nazi Germany. I was struck by the irony that the Progressive wing of the Democrat Party are the Anti-Semites more in line with 1930’s Germany than Trump. And any interviewer worth his or her salt would have asked this person about that.
If Trump was killed two months ago, who would be the Republican nominee today?
I doubt that the vitriol would have ended, just the target changed.
