Donald Trump is doubling down on his claim that he was the target of an assassination attempt.

Donald Trump is now looping his baseless conspiracies into his fundraising emails.

On Monday, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee escalated his claims that President Joe Biden authorized the FBI to shoot and kill him during its 2022 raid on Mar-a-Lago, this time promising to punish his two-time opponent for the alleged assassination attempt.

“Biden’s day of reckoning is coming,” the Trump campaign wrote in a fundraising email distributed Monday. “He tried to publicly torture and humiliate me … but he failed. He tried to raid my home and take me out with deadly force … but he failed.”

    Didn’t Donnie’s lawyers just argue that a sitting President could legally send a hit squad after his opposition?

      The hypocrisy around this argument is just crazy.

      Alt-right: Trump is being persecuted!

      Normal people: but president can do whatever they want, right?

      Alt-right: yes!

      Normal people: so…president Biden is allowed to persecute whomever he wants right?

      Alt-right: (visible confusion)

      We all know, in their minds, Biden is bound by the law and not protected whereas Trump is protected by the law and not bound.

      But they would never admit this.

        It’s an example of Trump’s Mob mentality. The police have to obey every single law, but the Mob isn’t bound by that.

      If the president of the US wanted someone inside of the US assassinated he would be assassinated already
