Surely he's not pulling this trick again?

Sure and you could say things just shy of ‘wish he was dead, they should have better aim’

How is that gonna help? You have legitimate concerns, maybe the US alliance isn’t working for you, these are all within the scope for discussion. This? This is not ok

I haven't said I wish he was dead. I don't condone assassination.

I won't be sad when a stroke or some other natural cause takes him out though.

I don't think he is a good man, or a kind man, or an honest man - I think he thrives on hatred and division. I think he makes the world worse, his own people's lives worse, and his decisions are killing people everyday.

He's been convicted of crimes, his businesses have gone bankrupt, he was bezzie mates with Epstein for years but complained about him stealing one of his girls. He talks about grabbing women by the pussy.

It astounds me every day that a man like this could get elected.

Are you really comfortable defending this man?

You’re one type of typical American. There are plenty of other types.

Well somebody voted for Trump besides me.

juldan · 26/04/2026 08:57

RingoJuice · 26/04/2026 08:29

I voted for him and support him (but not all things he does, that’s just not possible)

I don’t think I deserve to die just because I want millions of illegals to be removed from my homeland.

And I don’t like rockets lobbed over my head by Iran, which I was literally dealing with last month. IN A THIRD COUNTRY WHICH NEVER ATTACKED IRAN BTW

@RingoJuice
If it was last month that the rockets were flying over your head, you can thank your beloved TRUMP for that. If he hadn’t started that shit with Iran, the rockets wouldn’t have been flying. Unless you were in Israel, then you can thank Bibi for that.

I cannot see anybody on this thread saying that you should die. Unless you are actually Trump posting here.
As I said before Trump’s assassination wouldn’t be a good thing because he would become a martyr. However, I will not be sad if he dies and I won’t be sad when Putin dies. My parents were good people but you can bet they were not said when Stalin died.

I felt comfortable voting for him and yes, I’ll be voting for Vance next time. I’m voting in the midterms as well (and hoping the results will be favorable).

The sentiment is larger than one man

Of course they are, they’ve admitted they’re worse.

but not someone who they simply disagree with politically

unless i have missed it no one wishes ill on trump because he is a republican…its because he is trump

Pocahontasandme · 26/04/2026 09:01

So lots of people on this thread want a man to be murdered. Comparing Trump to Hitler is silly. Hitler had a clearly stated aim that he wanted to murder millions and take over the world. Trump just wants power in America

Well personally I thought it not a great idea to be picking a fight with Iran, particularly when the domestic agenda is more important to his voters.

Hopefully he can pay more attention to domestic matters. With the midterms coming up, it becomes more imperative.

But I admit I have hardened towards Iran, when prior I didn’t really care so much. They are dangerous, and target Gulf cities even when they have done nothing to deserve it. But that’s a thread for another day.

I live in Canada. He wants power here, too.

Fuck that, him, and his supporters.

I just wish the USA would stand him down as president and have a good hard think about where this is all going.

We have a planet to save..,

1dayatatime · 26/04/2026 09:03

Whether you like or agree with Trump or not, the fact is that he was democratically elected.

That there are so many posters wishing for or agreeing with the idea of Trump being assassinated just goes to show that intolerance and fascism today belongs to the far left.

Its ironic that those claiming to be anti fascist are actually the true fascists.

And we've hardened towards the US, because its dangerous to us - moreso than Iran. This isn't hard.

You say that all the time, we are used to it. Whatever.

It’s the wishing death on him or suggesting he brought the violence on himself (people were saying the same thing about Charlie Kirk). Thats not okay. That scares me because you’ll justify violence against me,
for having similar ideas (actually I’m more hard line than even Trump on certain things). You think killing Trump will make people like me, idk, change their minds or their votes.

And that’s really not what happens in these cases. Vance would be worse for you

A think you need to focus on your president not giving 2 shiny shits about your nations children needing to do active shooter drills because they’re shot at in school on a regular basis and anybody can get hold of a gun.

You have a gun problem. Maybe if MAGA stopped brown nosing the NRA for funding you wouldn’t have people able to jog into the White House and take aim at your president.

Also maybe take a step back from your arrogance, there is a whole big wide world out there. You enjoy your tariffs, higher prices, third world health care, infectious disease outbreaks,war mongering , woeful women’s rights, guns…..there are plenty of other countries to trade and aline with.

I lived in the UK, am married in so to speak, still post now and again. I guess you can try to get me ‘deported’ from your website if you wish.

But I think a voice from a typical American could help you get a grip though? But maybe not.

Like if you don’t want to hear from Americans like myself, maybe don’t post about Trump or participate in such threads

Ditto if you don't want to hear British views about Trump. I'm sure the Fox News website has a comments thread you can join.

But seeing as you are on this thread, here's another British take. Trump is a megalomaniac and a tyrant and no better than Putin. He's made it his goal to divide American society and inflame the rest of the world and he does it for his and his family's own financial gain. The day he dies and we are rid of his cancerous rhetoric cannot come soon enough. But I want him to die of old age, in his bed, so he cannot be martyred as was clearly the aim last night.

Sadcafe · 26/04/2026 09:04

Well the report is obviously genuine, but from what’s being said he never got anywhere near Trump or the main room, doubtless Trump will go on about how incredibly brave he was though and probably deserves a medal for just how brave he was

I've only just noticed Ringo saying s(he) "still posts now and again" 😂

They're endlessly posting MAGA-crap, and yet still demand our validation.

The fragility is astounding.

Nobody wants him martyed, old age will do, but for gods sake vote someone younger next time and who isn't set on world domination.
Contrary to popular rantings of Chairman Trump the world does not revolve around America.

in my view, he completely told on himself when he said “It was very unexpected.”

He’s degrading Western civilisation. Regicide should be the most shocking of crimes, not the subject of some lame spoof.

Monty36 · 26/04/2026 09:13

I do find it extraordinary that in my lifetime a President of the USA is seemingly friends with a Russian leader like Putin. An ex KGB man. He has a picture of him in the Oval Office. Best buddies.
America who have you voted into power ?
I am not entirely confident there will be mid terms actually.
