Just think of this: someone in a bar who says "someone out to plug the President right between the eyes" might find that after someone sends a message to the Secret Service he gets a stern warning from the Secret Service. The local gun stores get warnings not to sell guns or ammo to one because such would be bad for their image if something went wrong. This applies just the same when the President is Obama or Trump.
But if it is about any potential for a mass shooting, then perhaps the FBI or the relevant State Troopers start asking some questions and giving some warnings such as "We know what you are thinking, and you had better not carry it out".
I leave my discussion of bad things happening to Trump to unlikely scenarios (such as a military coup) in which I could never be a participant... or to Divine Retribution.
Dude, for all you know, I could be an FBI agent.
Dude, if you were an FBI agent you wouldn't be posting here.
There are programs to detect key words suggesting a blow-up. You may have used some of those words.
Why don't you take a time-out from posting and discover something that can enrich your life -- like classical music?
