    The secret service would kill you if it was Trump. I don’t think it’s a worthwhile trade, the old guy’s going to die soon anyways. His life is not worth more than yours.

    Plus violence is what they want so they can really start telling the military to do things.

    I agree with the sentiment though. I think they both deserve to be executed.

    Trump should have been executed for treason in 2021.

      How long are you guys gonna keep making this argument? They will fabricate any excuse they need, unconstrained by whether or not you actually fought back.

        I find it interesting that this basically never happens. The security details of these guys basically never turn against them. Not just US guys but all the dictators and brutal warlords and such. And I get that it makes sense to be quite rare, but I genuinely know of zero instances of it.

        Not that I’ve done deep historical dives, but…is there any instance of a ruler’s bodyguards/security murdering them for the harm they’re causing? Cause presumably these people have others they care about that may be being harmed by the things going on.

      Except, you know, the secret service already let one shooter try.
