Biden has a clear successor. Trump doesn't. The assassination of a head of state would draw sympathy worldwide. The state funeral would be huge. Right now, Trump is still just some politician running for office.
I fucking hate this meta but we literally are at the point where Joe Biden should seriously consider faking his own death.
This should be an option for all politicians. You can fake your own death, then you get put in to Witness Protection and can retire to a quiet, peaceful life on a ranch in Wyoming. Quit without having to deal with slack from party leaders.
Kind of hard considering you can't interact with literally anyone without them going "hey, aren't you joe biden?"
"No, man. I'm Edward Schmitt, but I get told that a lot, so I took up doing Biden impersonations. Wanna see some? Sad what happened to the real Biden though."
