Anyhow, with his diet and being a slobbo, he'll probably do himself in.

24/7 worship/beatification of Trump. It is like that now, you say? Well, at its peak it, MAGA was certainly approaching that, but the large numbers turning away from him offers some small hope that the majority of "sane Americans" will be able to drown them out. But, a perceived tragic death--especially from violence--has a tendency to blind all those predisposed at one time to "love" him. So, no martyrdom. Better to have him experience the final end while speaking absolute gibberish to the point he goes after his own supporters for a solid 15 minutes--just long enough that creative editing (sans the most recognizable and clumsy AI) will never be able to make it what they WANT to have heard.

But, no. I'm not surprised opinion pages of any remaining US newspaper won't print what I just wrote, or that which you submitted. Despite their audience likely being overwhelmingly in agreement.

for approving a post imagining the death of the king.

In 1536, Anne Boleyn was charged with treason for supposedly imagining the death of King Henry VIII.
