Sure, there was the attempted assassination of Reagan and the fears for Obama as the first black President, but in those cases it was a lone nutter rather than a conspiracy.

How long can Trump crash the market before an angry billionaire decides to take him out? The remaining Koch brother is already pouring money into legal challenges against Trump…

    Pretty likely. The chances of getting assassinated are essentially dependent on two things:

    1. how easy would it be

    2. how many people want to make it happen

    I believe that there’s enough of the second to more than compensate for the first.

      Based on how the first attempt went, I feel like “how easy it will be” isn’t going to be too much of a roadblock either
