I said “realistic.” That means the sophisticated knowhow to penetrate one of the tightest security bubbles in the world, and that comes only from a nation-state.
Edit to add: also, it’s a cultural misinterpretation to believe a fatwa is simply a call for death. That’s not what it means, though crazies may hear it that way.
From Heather Cox Richardson’s July 1 “Letters from an American:”
Today, a reporter from the Fox News Channel asked Trump about the new detention facility in the Everglades: “Mr. President, is there an expected time frame that detainees will spend here? Days, weeks, months?”
Trump answered: “In Florida? I’m going to spend a lot. Look, this is my home state. I love it, I love your government, I love all the people around. These are all friends of mine. They know very well. I mean, I’m not surprised that they do so well. They’re great people. Ron has been a friend of mine for a long time. I feel very comfortable in the state. I’ll spend a lot of time here. I want to, you know, for four years, I’ve got to be in Washington, and I’m okay with it because I love the White House. I even fixed up the little Oval Office, I make it—it’s like a diamond, it’s beautiful. It’s so beautiful. It wasn’t maintained properly, I will tell you that. But even when it wasn’t, it was still the Oval Office, so it meant a lot. But I’ll spend as much time as I can here. You know, my vacation is generally here, because it’s convenient. I live in Palm Beach. It’s my home. And I have a very nice little place, nice little cottage to stay at, right? But we have a lot of fun, and I’m a big contributor to Florida, you know, pay a lot of tax, and a lot of people moved from New York, and I don’t know what New York is going to do. A lot of people moved to Florida from New York, and it was for a lot of reasons, but one of them was taxes. The taxes are so high in New York, they’re leaving. I don’t know what New York’s going to do about that, because some of the biggest, wealthiest people, and some of the people that pay the most taxes of any people anywhere in the world, for that matter, they’re moving to Florida and other places. So we’re going to have to help some of these states out, I think. But thank you very much. I’ll be here as much as I can. Very nice question.”
Fucking moron. How the fuck does this drooling nutsack even exist? How is this deranged answer not going viral?
Now, assuming it was real and not staged (like I think), someone, some amateur, some idiot, penetrated this “tightest security bubble” and put a bullet through trump’s ear. Another someone was ready to shoot trump on his own golf course.
Marvin Boggs: I remember the Secret Service being tougher.
Victoria: Me, too.

Yahbut, isn’t Iran a “nation-state?” And traditionally allied with Russia? I apologize if this seems argumenative, but I just see more opportunity for mischief here than you do, perhaps.
Iran can kill Trump, sure. And it can get nuked in response.
Yes, the (orange) juice wouldn’t be worth the squeeze.
You are still misunderstanding what a fatwa is and Iran’s role in it.
It has more than four or five syllables/words. Remember we’re not expecting a lot from a cult made of the common clay of flyover states.

From Monty’s daily (?) update on our douchebag-in-chief:
Whatever happened to the congressional committee investigating the weaponization of government? This seems like what they were looking for.
A kid crawled up on a roof, and nearly did it (nicked his ear). I imagine his security is much tighter now. How do you protect someone on a golf course? Rifles have a long reach in the right hands. As do drones.
Speaking of which, I wonder if the SS has a system to block drones. A signal jamming device.
(Hegseth perks awake, looks around in panic) “WHAT? WHERE?”
No, no, no…it’s only weaponization when Democrats investigate Republicans. The fact that a Republican, like Trump, for example, can be convicted by a jury just shows how bad the weaponization is with these out-of-control America-haters.
I think Gym Jordan headed the committee you refer to. Watch, I bet the Democrats will try to smear him with some sort of sex abuse complicity scandal.
ETA: Factual answer:
The United States House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government was a select subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee created by the House on January 10, 2023. It dissolved at the beginning of the new congressional session on January 3, 2025.
Keep him away from hazards.
And of course Trump has said he might pardon Diddy Combs.
In unsurprising news, Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” has already experienced flooding due to a relatively minor rainfall. But don’t worry, it will only be holding brown people, and Florida certainly doesn’t have dangerous weather.
What if he is the hazard?

This and similar memes are popping up on various social media sites following 47’s tour of Alligator Alcatraz:
In their mind, they probably consider this a form of virtue signaling to their base.
