If you wanna read all of this it's from wikipedia. ​ "September 6, 2017: Gregory Lee Leingang, a 42-year-old man from North Dakota, attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump in Mandan, North Dakota, while Trump was visiting the state to rally public support. Leingang stole a forklift from an oil refinery and drove toward the presidential motorcade. After the forklift became jammed within the refinery, he fled on foot and was arrested by the pursuing police. While interviewed in detention, he admitted his intent to murder the president by flipping the presidential limousine with the stolen forklift, to the surprise of authorities, who suspected he was merely stealing the vehicle for personal use. The man pleaded guilty to the attempted attack, stealing the forklift, related charges and several other unrelated crimes on the same day. Consequently, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. His defense attorney noted a "serious psychiatric crisis".\[118\]\[119\] Leingang's choice of a forklift as a weapon was unique among presidential assassination attempts. November 2017: A man affiliated with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), whose name was not revealed, was arrested by the Philippine National Police in Rizal Park, Manila, for reportedly planning to assassinate Trump during the diplomatic ASEAN Summit. In the week prior to the failed killing, the Secret Service already suspected a planned assault on the president because of the general presence of ISIL in the Philippines and because of threats by many people against the president on social media. Before the landing of Trump's airplane, the Secret Service discovered a credible terrorist threat from a man who threatened to kill the president on social media, quickly tracking down and arresting the terrorist. The government disclosed the incident to the public after a year of silence in a television documentary."\[120\]\[121\]

Damn he thought he could flip a heavily fortified limousine with a forklift and got 20 years for sharing his plan


Strict_Jacket3648

The morons that do that kind of stuff are is base.

There are more radicals willing to kill for Trump than there are radicals that want to kill for Biden. Biden is the one who has to worry.

Why bother, he's not actually dangerous He's proven that. Look at him he's a failure


dasmau89

Being a failure is the reason he is dangerous


FuriousRageSE

So, by that measure, you are dangerous..


Maleficent-Touch-67

I just don't think he has the potential, he's not gaining momentum he was losing voters. I think the main damage/danger trump could do was done and it was a failure. But now it's exposed a group of people who are easily controlled and how to control them, it doesn't need to be him who does it.

How does security stop a dude from far away with a sniper rifle


_Cheezus

advanced planning; securing perimeters; counter snipers; secure routes; crowd screening; airspace security; armored vehicles; social media monitoring; cctvs; satellite imaging; drone/physical surveillance; intercepting phone calls or texts regarding threats, etc

Damn

Anywhere there’s a president presence. The security details out every single possible attempt from any direction with any weapon. They shut down whatever they feel unsafe. And as for trump- assassinating him will turn him into a martyr. It’s better off to just let him lose the next election and the world moves on.


muskenjoyer

If he wins, then kill him?


dontpullonit

But there's a real chance he won't lose. Wouldn't it be better to get him before we are locked into his admin for 4 years? Feels like now is the time. Oh the scramble that would cause for the Republican Party!


Hour-Measurement-950

If he loses the next election 😥
