Trump’s assassination attempts underscore how rhetoric that casts political opponents as existential threats can move from language to violence.
Same Old, Same Old: Target Trump.
At the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Donald Trump was the target of yet a third assassination attempt—this time in full view of the Washington press corps.
The event was presented as a spirited night with Trump. After 11 years of avoiding the predominantly left-wing media event, he decided to revisit the dinner. He anticipated that he would be the object of ridicule inside the hall—and that he might see possible violence outside it.
Indeed, protesters ringed the hotel. In grimly prescient fashion, the usual sort of crowd that night was channeling John Wilkes Booth—sic semper tyrannis—with placards reading “Death to Tyrants.”
They again almost got their wish.
All three of the would-be Trump shooters—along with Charlie Kirk’s murderer—fit the predictable profile of arrested-development, deranged leftists. They apparently sought to reify the popular Democrat hatred of Trump and his supporters, thereby imagining themselves entering the pantheon of revolutionary heroes.
So too, not long ago, did the would-be killer of Trump, Austin Tucker Martin, storm Mar-a-Lago in search of the absent president.
This time, the latest assassin, Cole Tomas Allen, left a manifesto repeating the old saw of Trump as “Hitler” and sought to kill the president and his cabinet members. Indeed, his incoherent screed read like a Petri dish of all the supposed sins of Trump, drawing on left-wing conspiracies about Russian collusion, lawfare myths, and the Epstein files.
Allen’s attempt was another fantasy of mass murdering, not unlike that of former Bernie Sanders campaign aide James T. Hodgkinson. He tried to take out Republican congressional leaders—wounding four, including House Republican Majority Whip Steve Scalise—in a baseball game in Washington.

It seems that the left is trying to create a base that is violent and crazy. That can be pointed at enemies of the left and turned lose.
VDH ping
trying?...I’d say they’ve successfully done it
Study Spain and Argentina.
The base is Black. The base is in fact violent and crazy just being
It’s time to go full Pinochet on these people.

Since 47 took office there have been 11-12 incidents of political violence - all by vengeful hating amateurs. More to come: the cole manifesto has been read on TV, and the idol worship of Loogi who shot the guy in the back.
I have friends who openly support this kind of thing. Their minds are consumed with TDS and anything is justified to stop MAGA. They get reinforcement in their echo chambers.
Granted, they would never actually do it but they would go full “Palestinian celebration after 9/11” if it did happen.
Many of them went into a kind of depression when Trump left office in 2021 because they lost such a big part of their lives.
GREAT article. Thanks for posting. Names and their WORDS. Enemies domestic.
Everybody has to sit down and think about what they are going to do if or when one of these DeepState attempts succeeds.
Blame the victim.
They want a fight to the death. I don’t see how we avoid it.
Bkmk
So when do the Repubs and the “principled” conservatives fight back? They can’t. There’s no fight in them.
I wouldn’t have “friends” like that.
The murderous morons still don’t get that every time they do this, President Trump’s numbers get even higher.
And if memory serves, this is the SIXTH time they’ve tried.
