    I get the feeling, but the usa people elected him twice, and Bush twice, so assume the usa people will vote for another psychopath again. Dealing with him is a short term fix but there will be another. Think about what has to be done to inoculate yourself from people in the usa over the long term.

      The people didn’t elect them twice, we can blame the electoral college for the first term of each. Give us some credit, we’re only half as brain dead as it seems.

      Same goes for killing Khamenei, there’s always someone next in line. It doesn’t mean killing world leaders has no effect…

      Don’t you realize how big it would be if Iran manages to kill Trump? It would mean the US President is not untouchable. No foreign actor has yet killed a US president.

        If it is personal, they can have him in 2 years. Even a former President would be a historical event.

        He likes to revoke the SS protection from his political rivals, a dangerous precedent for him…

        Yeah but it’s like 9/11, all it will do is allow even crazier nutjobs to feel vindicated and make things even worse.
