Attempt to murder Donald Trump

"We do not believe that the attempt to eliminate and assassinate Trump was organised by the current authorities, but the atmosphere around candidate Trump … provoked what America is confronting today. After numerous attempts to remove candidate Trump from the political arena — using first legal tools, the courts, prosecutors, attempts to politically discredit and compromise the candidate — it was obvious to all outside observers that his life was in danger.” Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin spokesman

"Most importantly, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, Trump is a threat to this nation." Joe Biden yesterday

"The assassination attempt on Donald Trump comes as 10 per cent of American adults said violence was justified to stop him from retaking the White House. Robert Pape, a professor in terrorism threats at the University of Chicago, carried out the survey in June which also found that a third of that number carried guns." The Sunday Telegraph today

"Trump is not only a neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath. He is also a profound threat to the international order.” The United Kingdom's new Foreign Secretary David Lammy, writing in Time in 2018

    I have done security for Hirohito's visit to the US and for Bush senior's visit to Cape Cod. Like any large scale operations involving people and the chaos they create there will always be cockups, but I am mystified why that rooftop wasn't secured. It was the most obvious place to setup for an assassination. As with Kennedy being denied federal protection and the close call he had, I would suspect that there is some intentional neglect here. Perhaps low staffing?Though, the local authorities were active in the security, and could have been drawn upon for more personnel (that's how I was involved with the Hirohito and Bush). Limited budget? Least competent personnel assigned to command structure?

      I am afraid life is too short amd too beautiful to waste any of it reading David Frum, his views on Donald Trump or on Israel or on Putin. He is one of the worst neo-cons, probably the greatest threat to Western civilisation after mass migrations.
