So far 4 US presidents have been assassinated in office. What chances that DJT is the fifth?


Ladbrokes have it at 9/4 that he will not make it to the end of his term. 9/4 seems good odds considering his bizarre behaviour.

Vance seems to be  as bad as Trump.

If Trump is assassinated, wouldn't Vance just step up to be president? Or doesn't it work like that?

Yes, he would become President.  Lyndon Johnson, VP became President after the assassination of John Kennedy.  Harry Truman, VP became President after the death in office of Franklin Roosevelt.  Andrew Johnson, VP became President after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

So unless Spartacus' fantasy world comes about (chance would be a fine thing) we are all still f***ed 😭

Vance is something else.  That's not a compliment 

For sure!  It's seems like he is injecting Trump with steroids. Trump has got even  more deranged ever since Vance became VP.
Having read Hillbilly Elegy, I came to see where his insular , isolationist slant came from.

But he's very bright , having graduated from Yale, but he is a dangerous individual with tunnel vision.

He could be "the first" - that is the first  VP to be assassinated. 

As for Trump, he can only face a rising tide of hostility from sacked government employees and mid-west farmers whose produce is subject to retaliatory import duties by China .

Watch this space.

As every day goes by, it looks increasingly likely that Trump is going to sell Ukraine down the river. It's a re-run of Chamberlain and Hitler over Czechoslovakia.
Trump talks of re-allocating "assets" which means conceding assets of Ukraine to Putin  and of putting in peace-keeping forces into Ukraine  to "guarantee" security.
History tells us that peace-keeping forces are ineffective. Remember Bosnia & Hertzogovinia in 1996. Remember the peace keepers on the Golan Heights. They disappeared without firing a shot when Serbia and Israel took military action.

It will be the same in Ukraine. Give it five years (or less) and Russia will extend its land grab. 

Sadly, history repeats itself because the appeasers fail to grasp the realities.

Just pray that The Donald becomes the fifth before too long.

    • No, you didn’t write the article. But unless you’re a Telegraph subscriber, you haven’t read the article either. Have you read it? The psychopath Telegraph lives behind a (rubber) paywall but using this kind of sensationalist, accusatory headline gets it traction on social media. The headline becomes more important than the article; many will see it and some will take as a statement of fact. And it will be shown on endless “let’s take a look at the papers” segments on TV and radio for 12 hours or more in every news day. And so, a tiny number of reactionary, right wing hacks has a vastly disproportionate influence on the popular conversation despite the papers they work for being bought by almost nobody these days. 
    • Trelco are wonderful. James has been super reliable and they are a gem to have around us locally. Trust them completely, will give honest advice and have very fair pricing for all small work around the house or bigger plumbing projects. I've used them multiple times and they will always find the time to help, even when they are busy they will pop round to make sure we aren't stranded which is a nice touch.
    • "attack on the tax", I posted a link, how was that an attack? I didn't write the article, so how was that an attack on the proposed tax?  Are you now saying what can and cannot be posted, when did you become Admin(NOT).
