Impactful

He has been “impactful,” I’ll give him that.

However, he should probably take a closer look at the history of assassination attempts in the United States. Here’s a list of the presidents who have been the target of assasins and would-be assassins:

Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy, of course, were actually killed. Reagan, and Teddy Roosevelt were seriously wounded.

But assassinations were attempted or plotted against the following presidents:

Lincoln had several attempts against him before the one that succeeded as did Kennedy. Jackson, Taft, Hoover, FDR, Truman, Nixon and Ford all were targeted for assassination, most of them more than once. A would be assassin was stopped at the White House while Obama was away but the family was there.

So, while Trump may be enjoying the dubious “honor” of being so “impactful” that people want to assassinate him, one could make the argument that he isn’t all that special.
