Is it only me or the recent assassination attempts have some common themes as Ukraine, World Global Citizen utopia and hate for Trump?

      Wait. Cmon dude. Trump says “fight” and people scream stochastic terrorism, this guy says you’re free to kill Trump if you’re not a coward and you’re like “naw, that’s just poetic license?” Don’t be obtuse.

        Trump is directing an audience of his supporters to fight, while this is a nobody tweeting at an entire country letting them know they are free to assassinate him. I actually do see a difference.

          Was a nobody. You’re literally reading about it on social media and news sites and having a conversation about it with strangers now.

          He was a nobody and was writing things no one was reading.

            You are making my point for me. When did he send that tweet? Was it before or after he went from a nobody to a somebody?

            The biggest difference between things you say are identical is that when Trump said something, people actually listened. The only reason this guy is no longer a nobody is because people didn’t listen when he talked. He had to do it himself, because nobody was listening to a nobody.

            But yeah, congrats on recognizing his current status now. It’s super relevant to the point at hand.

        Specifically, it was directed at Iran and a compitulation to a previous political stance. He is also just some random dude and not a “billionaire” with an actual audience.
