A Cole Tomas Allen of California attempted to assassinate Trump and or/ other officials attending a banquet in a Hotel in Washington DC. He failed. Why was he attempting to do such a thing?
He was a highly intelligent 31 year old who seemed to me to be suffering from depression brought on by our country's decisions. Why? He had not planned for doing anything after his shooting, most likely thinking he'd be shot dead, so it was really a suicide venture in a way. Now he expects no leniency. He had attended Cal Tech., was an engineer (they seem to have out of the ordinary minds) and should have been looking forward to a somewhat happy life.
Just watch the View, a highly intelligent group of women, made up of at least 2 Republicans and the rest Democrats who for a long time let their hair down as to their dislike for Trump. There were many programs who showed their dislike of Trump and what he was advocating or getting us into. Everyone just kept quiet about it, often wishing someone would try to assassinate him, though they won't admit it.
And myself who has been born into a Democratic family with a mother free to change her mind, and I had also, seeing more reluctant reasons why not the Democrats this time.
It became a terrible feeling, the more Trump talked. He was guilty in many of our minds of not dispensing his acts in a mannerly way. He was wild; suddenly trying to buy Greenland or Cuba or Denmark. He was rude, his English was of gutter language, and was miles away from correct presidential information. To him, facts often were fake, proven quickly to be fake.
He broke rules, ruling more like an Emperor, never even a king. These should not be acceptable to any of us, yet our guardians of such matters tolerated them instead of being able to bring them to a halt. According to government law, things he pushed forward on his own should not have happened. Maybe they were agreeing with it; we're not sure.
Strangely, he reacted somewhat like Abe Lincoln and the Civil War. The American Civil War began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter. The conflict effectively ended in April 1865 with major Confederate surrenders (such as Lee to Grant on April 9), though some sources cite the official end as late as August 20, 1866. Actually, Confederate forces fired on federal troops at Fort Sumter, SC, not by Abraham Lincoln's direct initiation. Southern states had already seceded following his 1860 election, citing fears that he would halt slavery's expansion. Lincoln’s subsequent call for troops to suppress this uprising was his response to secession, which he deemed illegal.
His government was not eager to free the slaves at that time; expansion of slavery was not their goal. He did, anyway. Abe was assassinated for doing it. Comparing Abe with Trump, one difference, Abe was from poor people and lived in a wooden cabin, but his English was classy. His speech held educated wording of a lawyer, which he had become. He fit into the group of political people he had to deal with. Abraham Lincoln had two biological siblings, though only one lived to adulthood, along with several step-siblings. His older sister by 2 years, Sarah Lincoln Grigsby, was his closest sibling, while a younger brother, Thomas, died in infancy.
Abraham Lincoln is often argued to have exceeded his constitutional authority by issuing the Emancipation Proclamation. He acted as Commander-in-Chief to seize "property" (slaves) in rebellious states, a power not explicitly granted by the Constitution. Additionally, he suspended habeas corpus and authorized military trials of civilians, breaking traditional legal constraints on presidential power.
Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. He was a key figure in the formation of the party and became the first Republican president in 1860. Formerly a Whig, Lincoln joined the new Republican Party in 1856, which was formed to oppose the expansion of slavery. He served as a moderate leader
Donald Trump's father was a millionaire. Donald was also a middle child, and was spoiled, but his father preferred the first son.
