If any other citizen spoke these words, they'd be rightly investigated and arrested by the FBI.Campaigning at one of his Super-spreader Covidpalooza rallies in Lansing, Michigan, Donald Trump gleefully predicted that Joe Biden will be assassinated.
He deludes himself into thinking this is why there is so much talk of the 25th Amendment...because DEMOCRATS need to be prepared for when Biden is "shot" and Kamala Harris ascends to power.
TRUMP: That's why they're talking about the 25th Amendment, right? Three weeks. Three weeks in, Joe's shot! Let's go, Kamala, you ready? Most liberal person in the Senate. She makes Bernie Sanders look like a serious conservative.
Why isn't the Secret Service hauling his ass off the stage right then and there? David Corn rightly asks on Twitter, "What nut is going to interpret this as encouragement?"

Yet, there are nut cases who follow Trump and would take this as a call to do Biden in before he can take office. A double entendre dog whistle.

Remember poor Kathy Griffin?

(505 posts)Keith Olbermann has been talking about Stochastic Terrorism. Violence perpetrated by others at your command, request or suggestion. This is it. You just know some of the Kool-Aid drinkers out there are working on accomplishing what tRump would claim he had no responsibility for.

Mister Ed
(5,944 posts)I seems designed to suggest to his followers that Biden be assassinated, while maintaining plausible deniability. If pressed, he or his campaign can always pretend that by "shot", he meant "old and worn", as in "Gee, my back tires are really shot".

(9,971 posts)... he's predicting a Left-Wing militia will kill Biden, probably a "Deep State" group led by Kamala. Whatever it is, it's clear Crooked Donald is not sane. He should be in a psych ward, and the people around him are worthless. Why aren't they doing their duty?
