Some people think that if the Establishment was really trying to kill Trump they wouldn’t keep failing. Not true.

What is true is that if the Establishment was really trying to kill Trump without caring if we know it’s their doing, then they wouldn’t keep failing. But can you imagine how big a disaster it would be if he got taken out in a way that makes it clear it was the Establishment? Imagine if Trump were assassinated by a guy who got him right between the eyes with one shot and then disappeared into thin air, leaving no fingerprints or any kind of evidence behind! EVERYONE would know it was the CIA or similar, and there would be such a huge backlash that it would probably carry Vance (who, i assume, would then be taking Trump’s place on the ballot) right over the line, and probably win the Republicans huge majorities in both the House and the Senate as well! Major fuckup.

They can’t have that happening, so instead they practice stochastic terrorism by spending eight years telling every angry loon in America that Trump is the devil, then tracking him until they know he’s ready to strike, and then telling the Secret Service to become selectively incompetent on the date.  That way, they hope, they can get him taken out while still being able to say “hey, we didn’t do it. It was just some crazy guy.” Many of us would — and do — see through that, but nowhere near as many as would see through similar claims regarding a clean, professional hit that would succeed in — as Trump himself put it — exploding his head like a watermelon!
