I’m not wishing for anyone to shoot him, but it seems to me that a big open golf course is not the most secure place to be. Does the Secret Service have the capability of taking out a drone from a golf course?

That would help oust him, and help put him in prison. They would have a lot more success hurting him and his family that way, taking their money from them.

Mixture

What's True
A eulogist heard on Iranian state TV during the funeral procession of Qassem Soleimani called for an $80M bounty on President Trump's head.

What's Undetermined
The call for a bounty on Trump is not yet known to have been authorized by, or represent the official position of, Iranian authorities.


Be prepared for certain DUers to shit all over this OP.

Either way it spells out a whole lot of hatred for Donald J Trump.

He should be worried. It's no secret where he spends most of his time. The Secret Service must be on super high alert.

It would be a win win for the US and the World. The "trumpers" will have to find a new hero, maybe the Duck Dynasty boys again.

Everyone is in a lose-lose situation. Taking out Trump may give a measure of satisfaction for those who desire vengence, but the U.S. military under Pence would kill hundreds of thousands of Iranians, maybe more. Much of their nation would be reduced to rubble by the time it's over.

Then again, with Trump eager to commit war crimes, it may happen anyway. Best case scenario is nothing significant happens for a year, Democrats win the Senate and Presidency, and the next President somehow manages to get us all out of this mess.

golfing trips, or show up in public anywhere for that matter. Wonder if he even thought of these things before he decided to pick a huge fight with the Iranians.

What's more likely is when Russia has used Trump for what they want they're done with him, they'll have the Iranians do the dirty the work.

Not necessarily putting a bounty on Trump's head.
But go after Trump himself, not the US. They should know he cares nothing about his country, he only cares about his money. He is an international business person. He has property holdings, and other investments. They could deny business to him, and pressure other middle east Trump partners to drop him. Also target his sons, and Ivanka and Jarad's investments. And if nothing else works, not that I'm advocating this, but it would be a shame if any of his buildings were threatened, and visitors were shy to come back.
