Of course the obvious solution to keep Trump safe would be to put him in a federal prison cell where he belongs
- Cryo-capsule in space you say
  
  A decaying orbit into the sun you say
  
  Musk can send him to Mars for safekeeping.
  
  Look, you do that and eventually Spock gets killed.
  
  Yes he comes back, but that's beside the point.
  
  With a leak, you say?
- While yes, there's always Epstine... so maybe not that safe.
  
  At least then, the rest of us would be safe
Positions reversed and trump would have loaded the gun for them. Then shot himself in the foot handing it over. Maybe even a bystander.
- While smelling like shit.
- That would be another felony to add to the list he won't be prosecuted for since he is a convicted felon and I believe he can't own or use a gun
- Then shot himself in the foot handing it over.
  
  "The radical left did it!!"
- Iran wouldn't have a chance. Biden would already be killed by an Official Act of the president.
Is there a non-Fox News link? I will not visit that propaganda site.

  ...is the archive of the Faux News version so you don't have to give them clicks...
- Right now I can't quickly find an english result that isn't Fox/affiliated.
- Ummm... not really? But here's the Ground News link for sources
Hey hey hey. Lets not redline anything here. International relations are tricky.
I agree, although I wish we'd just say any US citizen. Trump is just a former President, he's hardly special.
- What if they chopped up a US citizen with a bone saw?
  
  Strongly worded letter, then increasing economic and political ties. 🤷‍♂️
  
  Our leaders don't give a shit about our ideals.
  
  That’s Saudi Arabia, and we let them chop up whoever they want because $$$.
  
  Or intentionally ran one over with a bulldozer, or shot them in the head while wearing a press flak jacket?
- No because he thinks some citizens are not worth going to war over, like the press in Gaza
- Oh he’s special all right. Just not the way you mean.
Can career Democrats stop protecting Orange Hitler ffs. He would NEVER do the same to you.
- We must tolerate the intolerant!!
- Maybe not, but there's really no reason to stoop to his level. If you're calling for Trump to be assassinated, you're no better than he is.
  
  Seems like a trolley problem to me
"It would be a very short war," Biden continued, "with casualties staying as low as possible. Say, one."
Shame it wasn't Saudi Arabia mad at him, we'd be sending em saws.
I think trump is a horrible person and vote kamala but yes killing a presidential candidate should be sanctioned in some way. Of course killing thousands of innocent people in gaza should be sanctioned too but our world is too fucked up to do that right now sadly.
- In my personal opinion, I'm inclined to think that Trump's death would be a pretty unambiguous positive given the threat he poses, and the number of additional people that will predictably be killed because of his policies. That said, you can't just let a third party kill your political actors, and the negative outcomes of a likely war will dramatically outweigh any good done.
Mixed feelings.
...And just like that, John Bolton gets an idea...
Would it tho?
A total act of war we definitely don't want you to do, anyway here his schedule and a box of .556.

Don't do it!
Has he warned Trump that killing the grand ayatollah would also start a war, since I'm not sure Trump knows that.
wink, wink
Tempting.
The revenge on Iran:
Did cameras manage to catch the overly dramatic wink when he said this?
Unfortunate but necessary
I mean, I don't think we have to obey the letter of the law everytime, surely we can make exceptions sometimes.
It would be a gift to humanity.
If Iran can promise that only Trump would... on second thought, it probably will set bad precedence going forward. It's extremely important our government handles Trump properly but they refuse. 😭

This comment section is pathetic. Killing trump is apparently no problemo, but supporting Israel against several groups of terrorists who's goals are the genocide of all Jews and other undesirables is evil bad genocide.

Make up your fucking minds.
- Which groups are you talking about? Can you quote where they stated they wish to kill every Jew?
  
  I think he is talking about Hamas, and Hezbollah. And the quotes he is referencing is probably all the times they say they hate the Jews and they should die. And the other religious my Abrahamic religion is the only real real one, yours is from Satan stuff.
  
  Just a guess though. But I'm assuming that is what he is talking about.
- Lol please calm down
