The suspect claimed that in addition to Trump, his Iranian handler also named Biden and Haley as possible targets.

..."I was not wanting to do this so willingly," the New York Times quoted Merchant as telling a court during his trial for terrorism and murder-for-hire charges, adding that he participated to protect his family in Tehran.

So the IRGC coerced him to assassinate President Trump by threatening his family in Iran. In other news water is wet.

“also named Biden and Haley as possible targets.”

Why Biden? His weak a## was the best thing for the jihadis. His incompetence lead to this mess, which President Trump is working on fixing.

OK Barak may have been better for the islamoscum than Biden. That is an issue of stupid vs intent.

Then well President Trump. He has no fear. What they are going to try to kill Him again? That is just another Tuesday for President Trump. And President Trump is simply taking care of business and GO AMERICA FIRST.

Meanwhile the Demscum are crying tears over yet another Ayatollah piece of shit being blown up.

This is what the Rand Paul / Tucker / Candace RINO’s simply don’t understand.

They believe if we had just appeased the Ayatollah, we could have lived in harmony with Islamists.

Islamists want to rule the world. Much like cancer, they spread. The Ayatollah was very clever. Although he was a Shiite, he was funding operatives all over Islamic world, including Sunnis.

No moral person wants to see death and human misery. But our aversion for human suffering should not neuter us from battling evil.

You get nothing or worse with Flower Power. If you can’t say it with flowers then Tomohawk missiles and torpedoes will have to do.
