Oh boy, buckle up! We’re diving into one of the wildest moments in recent political history, and it’s getting pretty intense.
Imagine this: two assassination attempts on Donald Trump in just 64 days, and instead of uniting the country in condemnation, we’ve got people—Democrats especially—casually debating whether the nation would actually be better off if one of these attempts had succeeded.
That’s where this shocking new survey comes in. Conducted by Scott Rasmussen’s Napolitan News Institute, the survey shows a jaw-dropping 28 percent of Democrats believe America would be better off if Trump were dead. You read that right—over a quarter of them. Let that sink in.
Now, this might sound shocking at first, but let’s be real—it’s not all that surprising when you consider the constant wave of anti-Trump rhetoric coming from the left. It seems every day, there’s a new headline, a new rant from some media personality, or a wild soundbite from Democratic leadership demonizing the former president. So, when we see numbers like this in the survey, it starts to make more sense. We’re in an era where political discourse has been supercharged by venom and vitriol, especially when it comes to Donald Trump.

But what about the bigger picture? Well, 45 percent of respondents believe that anti-Trump rhetoric is fueling these assassination attempts, while 41 percent think it’s the nonstop media coverage of Trump that’s responsible. Basically, people are pointing the finger at the usual suspects: left-wing politicians and their media allies. And the voters are divided on whether these attackers are just lone “crazed individuals” or if something more organized is going on, with 46 percent leaning toward the former and 33 percent suspecting a coordinated effort.
This survey arrives hot on the heels of the second assassination attempt, and we’re now back to where we were before the first one in July. But here’s the kicker—the rhetoric, the anger, and the hostility have only ramped up since then. Case in point? Hillary Clinton. Yep, she’s still out there, raging about Trump in a way that makes it seem like he’s haunting her dreams. In a recent interview on MSNBC, Clinton didn’t just go after Trump.
She openly complained that the media isn’t hard enough on him! Seriously, Hillary? Is she watching the same news we are? From CNN to MSNBC, the attacks on Trump are relentless, with everything from “He’s the next Hitler” to “He’ll end democracy.” And yet, Clinton somehow thinks the media isn’t delivering a “consistent narrative” about how dangerous he is. You can’t make this stuff up!
Then there’s the case of NBC’s Lester Holt, who’s jumped on the anti-Trump train like there’s no tomorrow. After the second assassination attempt, Holt blames Trump for stirring up threats and chaos with his supposed “baseless claims” about Haitian immigrants. So, let me get this straight—someone tries to kill Trump, and it’s Trump’s fault for inciting people? Talk about mental gymnastics!

Ryan Routh, the man behind the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump, has a long and troubling criminal history. Hailing from Greensboro, North Carolina, Routh has had multiple run-ins with the law in Guilford County. His record includes a 2002 felony conviction for possessing a weapon of mass destruction and another felony in 2010 for possessing stolen goods, not to mention a string of misdemeanors over the years. This history paints a disturbing picture of someone who’s been on law enforcement’s radar for decades yet still managed to find himself at the center of such a high-stakes crime.
In his federal court appearance on Monday, Routh was charged with two gun crimes—possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. However, given his violent criminal past, many are shocked that he’s not facing more serious charges, especially in the wake of an assassination attempt. It raises serious questions about the effectiveness of the FBI and DOJ, especially as Routh’s next court date on September 23 looms, where he could potentially face additional charges.
As the FBI digs deeper into the motives behind the latest attempt, targeting 58-year-old Ryan Routh, one thing is clear: the more Trump gets blamed for things beyond his control, the crazier this whole circus becomes. If there were ever a time to yell, “Stop the crazy train! I want to get off!” this would be it.
With the election season heating up, the rhetoric on both sides is likely to escalate even further, leaving us to wonder just how much more unhinged things can get.
