I agree. If Trump or Obama had been assassinated during their presidency, there would have been some support among the public, wide condemnation by the elites worried about their status and a news blackout on why the assassin may have been justified.
- wddkcs 3y agoAn Obama assassination might have led to a more immediate George Floyd style disruption of major cities. The murder of the first black president is a chilling possibility to think about. Trumps assassination might have been equally toxic, given the rhetoric of the time. Especially if it were not denounced by the media, it might have been similarly corrosive. Arguably Trump is being politically assassinated presently, by his own hand as much as anyone else's.
- graphe 3y agoIt's all speculative but there will be support for either, during their presidency or after from people. The US's media is way more controlled, I generally think assassinations are popular among the public.
