To be honest, I am not sure Iran would want to target Trump at this time.

Yes, Trump is an anti-muslim bigot who is going to side with Israel and try to "attack" Iran (such as when he scuttled the Iranian nuclear deal). But what better way to garner international sympathy than to be seen as the "rational" country while your opponent is running around alienating all their allies with stupid trade wars and threats to withdraw from NATO.

If your enemy wants to shoot themselves in the foot, don't stop them.
In fact, they will probably try to needle Trumpy in just the right way and just enough to make him react even worse, thereby exacerbating his worsening position. Expect something like...I dunno...Iran applying to join NATO, for example.
 
Lightning strike mid-swing on a golf course would be a fitting end for Trump.

Particularly if he was losing at that point in the game.

His gravestone could then read:

"Here lies Donald J Trump. He was losing at golf when struck down by an act of God, who unfortunately for Donald thought MAGA stood for Make America Good Again."

"Here lies Donald Trump. Yes, even in death he still lies. And God had enough already with his ◊◊◊◊"
 
A lot of trumpists probably believe that the missed bullet in the first assassination attempt was an act of God.
Sure. Just like hurricanes are God being pissed off at homosexuals. No one ever said religion was logical or rational.
 
I suppose one could argue the semantics of how serious or how far along an attempt can be before it qualifies as an "attempted assassination".

Obama, for example, faced:
1: Shots fired at the White House in 2011
2: A letter laced with ricin sent to the White House
3: A man with a knife jumping the fence and entering the White House in 2014.
4: Mail bombs sent to the White House in 2018

Those are just the ones that went so far as physical action. There were many more plots and threats.

It seems a given that any President will face some level of physical attempt, along with many plots that never reach fruition. Fortunately many would-be assassins are to crazy, with thoughts too disordered, to be functional enough to come anywhere near success.
 
Would an assassination attempt include inducing fits of apoplexy by delaying his hamberder delivery? Or putting hot sauce on them? Or substituting them with real food?

How about shouting "BANG!" suddenly behind him. Or popping a balloon.

How about a letter from Putin that says "Your credit revoked and bank accounts frozen. I need all the cash back to pay for the war. Saudis ditto. Your secrets no longer secret. Good luck, comrade!"

Or a message from the FBI that reads "Wait a sec... These vote counts don't look right. Don't go anywhere for the moment, Mr Trump. And hand in your passport."

I agree, thoug the cybertruck at the Trump hotles seems to be more of piece of street political theater gone bad then a serious assination attempt.
