    No it isn’t. Trump is a candidate, not a sitting President, so it doesn’t count.

    All this shit happening is bad enough; can we at least not prematurely crown him?!

      He is a former President with the same protections afforded to any former President.

        “Afforded protections” is one thing, but that’s not the point. The point is that I refuse to let this count as a “Presidential assassination attempt” because he isn’t the goddamn President right now; Biden is. And you shouldn’t count it as such either – the only ones who would are MAGA election-denier shitheads.
