The third attempt (that's been reported) on President Trump's life is getting redundant. Actually, it's evolving closer to social unrest.
People are becoming more concerned with the downward spiral of civility and respect of opposing views.
The recent incursion of an assassin into the Florida home of the President was thwarted by Secret Service personnel who shot and killed the intruder.
The guy was carrying a container of gasoline and a shotgun. Normally, not items one would gift to a head of state.
Especially, around 1:30 in the morning.
Trump wasn't home — rather, still in Washington, D.C.
Either the perpetrator hadn't done his homework in determining if Trump was at his Mar-a-Lago residence, or he'd simply screwed-up from the very beginning.
Perhaps, planning the details of an intended assassination was beyond his ability. Maybe his brain was malfunctioning for some reason.
Or possibly, the current political atmosphere of the country contributed to his maniacal ambitions.
Then, there's a chance he really does believe Trump is Hitler reincarnate and his followers are Nazis.
That is, before Trump was promoted by the Democrats from Fürher to King.
After awhile, this lunacy can work on a person's mind — which is the intended purpose.
Whatever the case, the latest attempted murder of Mr. Trump within the past year-and-a-half is a clear indication something terribly wrong is festering within our country.
It is equally apparent a liberal press and social media, in conjunction with certain members of the Democratic Party, are the primary promoters of this madness.
Turn on most established news sources and invariably President Trump is accused and blamed for doing something outrageously inappropriate. The fact the claims may be sketchy or totally made up is irrelevant. If there's some way he can be connected to the alleged misdeed, then that's good enough for the evening blab.
With visual and vocal narratives lambasting Trump practically every minute of every day, it's no wonder certain people fantasize to the psychotic extent if only Trump, and others like him were removed from the scene, everyone would be better for it.
Up to the point of actually contemplating and attempting to kill a person they've never met.
We saw this scenario play-out in real time in the murder of Charlie Kirk a few months ago.
A Utah young man was so possessed with hatred and evil, that he drove several hundred miles to purposely shoot Mr. Kirk. Primarily, because he didn't agree with Kirk's opinions.
Before that, Trump was wounded, and several others shot at a political rally in Pennsylvania. One person died as Trump was hurried from the scene.
The shooter was also killed by Secret Service personnel.
A few months after that incident, another assassination attempt was discovered and foiled by the Secret Service at one of Trump's golf courses. The goofy dude was attempting an ambush of the President but left his rifle exposed in a row of fairway bushes. Alert SS officers noticed it and soon apprehended the gunman.
He is now doing life in prison.
Point is, for whatever reasons, threats on President Trump have become routine. Whether influenced by social, political or mental circumstances, his life has become a target for anyone with the desire, means and opportunity to stalk with intent to kill.
So far, he's been fortunate in avoiding an assassin's fatal bullet. Hopefully, luck will hold for the remainder of his term in office — and beyond.
But, unless the volume of scorn and loathing is toned down, Mr. Trump's faces a future of increasing anger and resentment. Much of it premediated by design and influence.
Just as certain, an equal portion of our nation's communities are not comfortable with the way things are going. They don't view Trump as a billion-dollar buffoon, but a temporary White House Captain trying to right a listing ship.
Facing financial storms with a $38 trillion debt already on board, Trump has his work cut out for him in safely avoiding the shoals of financial uncertainity, navigating waters of global conflicts, calming an irate society and avoid being shot at the same time.
Not an easy assignment.
