Is it okay to suggest here that Donald trump should take a ride on his way out of the White House gates in a ford pinto, slide under a gasoline tanker and taste his own blood before the explosion? I don’t wanna be too rude here but boy, that guy really frosts my flakes, Gosh darn it! ---

Just my opinion with no attempt as Jr. Modding here. Take it for what it’s worth. So long as you personally are not suggesting that you intend to tie him up, load him into the back of the Pinto and roll him into traffic, all is well. IMHO, if I heard that the Don had died in an accidental fire then that would certainly liven up my news cycle. ---

Yes, it’s wrong. Pintos catch fire when they get rear ended. ---

Well,they used to and I’m pretty sure not even Jay Leno has one in his garage and anyway this my fantasy so let’s go with Golf Cart. ---

Who was it said something like ‘I wouldn’t wish death on any man, but I would read his obituary with great interest’? Yeah, it’s like that. ---

Hmm… 30 seconds of Google foo has that quote attributed to Clarence Darrow. “All men have an emotion to kill; when they strongly dislike some one they involuntarily wish he was dead. I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.” ---

I dunno - I just keep hoping he’ll be called back to his home planet. Or maybe be abducted by aliens. But that might be cruel to the aliens. ---

I don’t want to spoil the party but I can only [see him](https://schumanchu.eu/html/l/l_00103golden~fleece.html) and his family smugly carrying as much as they can grab when leaving behind a burning White House. But perhaps Mar-é-Cage (French for [MAGA-Lago](https://www.linguee.com/english-french/search?source=auto&query=mar%C3%A9cage), in case you were wondering) burns too. Burning would be an unexpected way to drain the swamp, but hey, come to think of it, hell, yes! ---

Psychic Lyndsay Edwards offers this… “Donald Trump will be shot dead during a public speech he is doing. The person will shoot from a roof but will be killed by Trumps [sic] security immediately after killing Donald Trump. I question my guide how this person can get access to shoot Trump knowing he will have the best security in the world (the SAS) and I am told that due to back lash of Trumps [sic] presidential decisions America knows that he has to go as if he remains to be president it’ll only get worse (there is a leak in the system). I am shown that he is shot during or shortly after an explosion which I feel isn’t too far from where Trump is giving his (unknown to him) last speech. I am shown a bow and arrow and feel it could be the arrow that goes through Trumps heart. I am given October for Trump to be shot dead and I see many riots, violent protests and total ciaos [sic] in the run up to his death.” ---

I have seen the mods stop shy of wishing death on him, because he’s the President and could cause problems. I don’t know about your OP, but I’d be careful about anything that could be seen as a death threat and get the Secret Service looking in. The SDMB shies away from anything that could cause legal trouble. ---
