I can't even express how scarred I'd be if someone murdered him...
Please don't, guys...
Murder him, that is...
No. Please. Don't.

Oh no, please don't harm the fascist... I'd just cry... Totally from sadness and joy.
He said if he gets assassinated he left orders to obliterate Iran. I'm still looking for the downside, but so far it looks like a great deal.
I'd say igniting a world war would be a pretty major downside...
Not to mention that the people of Iran do not deserve to be "obliterated."
Look, if you can't handle some gallows humor, the next four years are going to get really bad.
Oh, I get it. You suggested you'd be ok with killing 90 million people for something they had nothing to do with.
HA HA HA HA THAT IS FUCKIN FUNNY MAN
Oh, that was supposed to be funny?
The violent retribution of his base would run wild through all cities.
I mean that would not stop musk unfortunately so if you're looking for a twofer, buy Taco Bell's new taco supreme twofer where you get chicken and beef mixed together into one hot wheat bag of fun, how come we got hot model Zoolander murdering the prime minister of Malaysia Yes, I'm pretty sure that's what happened in this timeline, and Malaysia hasn't made their own Miss universe to get Trump? Makes you really think doesn't it?
Hey, totally unrelated, but does anyone remember this Simpsons episode?
I do find it odd no sitting president has before. I get the Super Bowl is relatively new, but it kinda shocks me no other president has.
I guess when you're trying to prove you're not Hitler 2 you gotta look good for the people you're going to send to jail.
A quick search shows on average a box at the Superbowl costs between $750,000-$2 million.
The President makes $400,000 a year.
They can't sit in the stands, so the reality is no president should be able to afford to go to the game.
Can we get the crowd to flip him off again? That'd be cool to see on tv. I don't watch tv or sports, but it'd make it to the internet and then I'd enjoy watching.
D'you think we can get Ricardo Montalban to hypnotise one of the sportsball players?
He hadn't attended the last time he was in office? Why all sudden is he interested in going now?
Damnit, I wanted to watch the game in peace.
Live broadcast of a copycat Luigi? 👉👈
Halftime show
Rogue helicopter crash into the the stadium?
Turns out it was just a drink eagles fan mad at the refs for winning another game for kc
That might happen without anyone trying.
That would count as regicide.
Secret service must be sweating bullets
I'd say that it's probably one of the easier places, actually, because post-9/11, there's a lot of security at the Super Bowl, whether-or-not a President is there. Like, they already have overhead marksmen and airspace restrictions and stuff, which is the sort of stuff that you'd put on the President at an event.
I believe that the Super Bowl is considered to be a potential target because of its high visibility.
IIRC, even before that, Tom Clancy had one of his books involve terrorists blowing up the Super Bowl with a small nuclear weapon.
kagis
Yeah, The Sum of All Fears.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sum_of_All_Fears
The terrorists' plan is to detonate the weapon at the Super Bowl in Denver while simultaneously staging a false flag attack on U.S. military forces in stationed in Berlin by East Germans disguised as Soviet soldiers.
And keep in mind if someone as prominent as Taylor Swift might be there Trump can sort of ride her coat tails security-wise.
Hang on do you actually think that Taylor Swifts security detail is better than the fuckin secret service??
They certainly have more motivation to do their jobs.
After the recent “DEI replacement” cronyism maybe?Would almost bet on him firing anyone competent in favor of yes men.
Probably, not like some kid got a shot at Swift.
Yes... Because a generally liked pop singer and a highly controversial world leader have the same likelihood for being assassinated.
Clout assassinations have been a thing for decades, John Lennon was murdered back in the 1980.
Ok so that's 1 for assassinated pop stars.... And a couple hundred assassinated world leaders. Or 4 presidents if you wanna limit yourself to just the US and it's relatively short history.
There's a lot more than just one - here's a specific example with excessive violence and a lot of collateral damage
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimebag_Darrell
And here's Wikipedia's list of notable musicians, do note that someone performing at your local club or restaurant wouldn't make it onto this list
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_murdered_musicians
Also, she's a prominent woman and there are just a lot of creepy guys out there so she'd faced an immense amount of abuse from a distance and personal threats of a violent, sexual and violently sexual nature.
Damn you right. Maybe it is easier to kill a musician than it is to kill a sitting US president with the secret service around.
Crazy concept I know.
You really want to go down that road? Because I'm sure there's a Wikipedia article that could show you a lot more attempted assassinations for pop stars than presidents /world leaders
Here's a crazy concept. Maybe they get killed more frequently than US presidents because they don't have the fuckin secret service protecting them 24/7. I mean the guy who killed John Lennon just walked up to him outside a building and shot him.
If you don't think Taylor Swift is under absolutely constant threat of assault and kidnapping then I have an incel in Brooklyn to sell you.
... I never said she wasn't? I simply find it comical that you think a pop star has a better security detail than the sitting president of the United States lol.
It depends on the funding of the aggressor. A lone dude isn't going to have a chance. A national asset would have access to the means to take him out, but the risk is the CIA might find out and blow their cover.
It'd be terrible if there was a bunch of recently fired federal agents with nothing to lose that already know the inner workings of presidential security that were able to plan something like that...
He already said he left orders to blow up Iran, so I could easily see Israel hiring a half dozen Iranians and giving them some RPGs.

how about vance and musk and the doge team. I really think they should all go.
Yeah. They should all hang out together more often.
There was this golden opportunity at the inauguration to get the three biggest billionaire assholes in the world (plus Cook and Pichai) along with Trump and Vance and... for some reason nobody took them up on the offer.
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day was ruined.
Only reason I even watched that shit was trying to see that happen live
I'd protest by not watching the game, but I never do anyway.
Remember Don, the last time you went to a football game? Remember how that went for you?
