Operatives of the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) attempted to assassinate Donald Trump when the president was in Manila, the Philippines, last year but were stopped by Secret Service agents.
In November 2017, Trump was in the city for the Association of South East Asian Nations ASEAN 50 Summit, where he met with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, when the botched assassination effort took place. The planned killing was previously kept under wraps until National Geographic disclosed it during Sundays two-hour television special about the Secret Service, United States Secret Service: On the Front Line.

How is this toxic waste dump still alive?
Initech
(100,100 posts)14. I dunno - everything about him is misconstrued.
His hair is fake, his waistline is grossly underestimated (emphasis on the word "gross" ), and I wouldn't be surprised at all if he wears dentures. He's basically a walking heart attack waiting to happen.
Of course if it does, his idiot followers will try to blame the Deep State (tm) for "suiciding" him with a heart attack gun.

"Sorry, man...I was just doing the job I'm paid to do. I got kids to feed and a wife who likes expensive shoes."
