Q: Purely hypothetically, do you think Donald Trump would resort to homicide to eliminate rivals?

[AStern]

My personal belief is that he is capable of extreme actions based on his behavior and rhetoric. I obviously have no evidence he has ever done this, but that’s my read on his character.

What do you think?

[leftstreet]

1. He'd hire it done. But then stiff the contractor

as per usual

[haele]

7. He's the type to have someone who "owes him" hire the hitman...

And that person pays. He knows better than to stiff a hitman.

[Horse with no Name]

2. We should probably ask Ivana

Oh wait….

[Diamond_Dog]

3. I wonder if he hired out Jeffrey Epstein's killer.

[CTyankee]

4. "Will No One Rid Me of This meddlesome priest?"

Uh-huh....

[RockRaven]

5. Yes. Maybe not himself (squeamish), but others doing it on his behalf.

One difficulty for him is his perpetual distrust of others. But if he could get over that, I do not see him having any other barrier -- certainly not morality.

[Emile]

6. The way he is ordering the murder of people in boats,

I think you already know your answer.

[Americanme]

8. The dictators he idolizes do it.

Why wouldn't he?

[OLDMDDEM]

9. Yes. No doubt.

[Vinca]

10. He'd hire a goon for sure. Didn't he have lots of mafia contacts back in the casino days?

[mercuryblues]

11. What makes you think he hasn't

already done that?

[displacedvermoter]

14. Yep!

[AStern]

22. Oh, I think he already has...

I honestly believe both of his so-called “assassination attempts” were staged.
Oh my, but two people died!!! 😱 How can you say that?

Easy. Who cares about either of those two people? They (trump/secret service) stood around for what seemed like hours after he was supposedly hit. And that fake photo of the bullet passing by him is hilarious. There was no formal investigation or medical report.

But if you even hint that the Butler, PA incident was staged, you get instant pushback.

I also think he’s behind Charlie Kirk’s death too and Jeffrey Epstein.

[Turbineguy]

12. I'd stay off small boats in international waters.

[Dave Bowman]

13. Yep, without the shadow of a doubt.

[lapfog_1]

15. death surrounds him

google "trump casino executives helicopter crash"

The death of 3 executives from his Atlantic City casinos was used by him as an excuse as to why his casino's eventually failed. But then they are not around to either defend their actions or tell the real reason his casinos failed.

[EuterpeThelo]

16. He deliberately condemned

nearly half a million people to die from COVID-19,* including my soulmate.

The pain of others is like CRACK to him. So, yeah, of fucking course he would, so long as he didn't have to get his own tiny hands dirty. It's why he gets off on murderous thugs like Putin, MBS and Little Kimmy Jong and longs to win their approval and emulate them.

There is no bottom and no amount of suffering and death that would EVER satisfy his bloodlust or thirst for revenge.

I think that, eventually, when the history of this time is written (assuming we continue to HAVE history), we will learn that his body count was exceeded only by Hitler.

*Edited to say: in the U.S. alone.

[Norrrm]

17. He could indirectly encourage it.

Does he have followers with such feelings?
Think of the armed right winger who showed up at Comet Pizza looking for that mythical cellar.

[Ping Tung]

18. He's already boasting about having people murdered in Venezuela to advertise his Real Man image.

[electric_blue68]

19. I'd hope not, and wouldn't completely put it past him it to hire someone(s).

😢

[DFW]

20. He would never do it himself

And he would never have it done if he thought there was the slightest chance of him being found guilty.

[Kid Berwyn]

21. Trump admires murderers.

Crown Prince $alman, Putin, Xi, Kim, etc. etc. etc. so, in answer to your question, yes.

[BannonsLiver]

23. Without question.

And I’m not sure rivals is the right word choice. I think he’d eliminate anyone who was a perceived threat to his freedom. And yes, I think he’s had people killed and not just Epstein, either.

[Kingofalldems]

24. Ivana was murdered IMO.

[purr-rat beauty]

25. When you peel away the slimey orange skin

He does not value a single human life besides his own

He would certainly promote it if it benefits him

[LuvLoogie]

26. I'm sure he already has.

[CanonRay]

27. I'm sure he would

Maybe even has. Epstein is dead.

[LearnedHand]

28. In a New York minute, without a doubt

[doc03]

29. I think he already has even before he ran for office, he pure evil. He wouldn't do it himself

he would pay someone else to do it.
