Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So this is obviously another cosplay photo-op for trump (garbage truck, Mc'donalds worker, pope, etc)... but this also seems like an excellent opportunity for them to do a false flag to garner support and sympathy.
The only reason to announce it and not just arrange and do it is to literally bring out protestors. That increases his chances of creating clashes with police so that he can support his narrative that DC is a dangerous city and needs marshal law. Throw in an "attempted assassination" and now he has his justification to suspend civil liberties. Hell, with all the Epstein talk, wouldn't be surprised if it was his own people that would make the attempt like last time. It's so absurdly right out of a movie plot line and unbelievably stupid that I almost guarantee something bad will happen and it will most likely be either unintentionally intentional or just blatantly, third-world dictator-esque intentional.
10 years down the road, we have a domestic terrorist organization known as "Liberals" right next to "Antifa", with a ready made group of loyalty proven ICE brown shirts. Approval by the supreme court of removing naturalized citizen's citizenship and all of a sudden those quickly built "Illegal immigrant camps" are full of Americans awaiting deportation to whatever third world country is willing to stick people in a hole for money.
Human brains are hardwired to constantly look for threats so I really hope this is just my addled lizard brain response...
It's not far fetched at all, it's extremely obvious that this is the goal.
I admire your optimism in that it will take ten years to get there.
The nazis behind the scenes are working at breakneck speed whilst their gilded pedophile monkey distracts.
The population of DC should come out en masse and moon him.
