Proud child rapist and convicted felon Donald Trump needs to be in prison, not in the ground. Dying just lets him get away with his numerous numerous crimes without punishment. Hopefully he makes a full recovery and can rot for many years to come, preferably without any additional votes gained from surviving an assassination attempt

Agreed. He's old AF and lives on McDonald's - death isn't that far off anyways. More to the point, everybody dies . Death isn't justice. Everybody dies. The only way for America to heal from what he's done is for him to see the inside of a jail cell. That possibility seems increasingly remote.

It's wild how the US allow convicted felon to be in politic, even worst so run for president.

But they can’t vote. You can run the country, but your vote doesn’t count.

Point of note, child rapist and convicted felon Donald Trump specifically will likely be able to vote. Florida law is that felons convicted in other states follow the law of that state for if a felon is allowed to vote. New York law is that only incarcerated felons lose their vote. So unless he's sentenced to prison and the sentence starts before November he'll be able to vote in Florida without any additional special treatment

And even if that weren’t true, he could vote anyway because he has God Mode from his past presidency, no?

At that point, we're just doing it to be petty. Not like we're gonna reform him and make him see the error in his ways in there. It's just punishment for punishment's sake.

An assassination attempt was logical at face value, at least. Trump poses a threat, so you eliminate that threat, just as you would an animal stalking you. Of course, killing trump isn't actually going to end this craziness.
