Hanson Reveals What Would Stop Future Assassination On Trump
Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson warned on his podcast Thursday that only the Biden-Harris administration and the Secret Service can help prevent further assassination attempts against former President Donald Trump.
On Sunday, 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh allegedly waited 12 hours on the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida, in his attempt to harm the former president. During “The Victor Davis Hanson Show,” Hanson stated that while he doesn’t think either President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris is capable of it, they need to condemn comparisons of Trump to historical “mass murderers,” like Hitler.
“It’s going to continue till either one of two things happen. The president of the United States, and I don’t think he’s capable of it, or the vice president — and she’s definitely not capable of it — say, ‘Let us not compare one another to mass murderers in history,’” Hanson said.
“Adolf Hitler created the final solution that liquidated 6 million and started a war that killed 70 million, and neither me nor my opponent has anything to do with that or resembles that,” he added. “It’s impossible that any person who is sane could compare either me or him to that.”

They are screwed if Trump becomes president again, and they know it.
Donald Trump is going to take all of them down with Special Prosecutor’s.

In December 2023, Harris told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell that people have “rightly” compared Trump’s comments to Hitler, asserting that his “language” has been “to divide us.” Trump has since criticized Biden and Harris’ “rhetoric” as contributing to attacks against him, according to Fox News Digital.
Hanson further emphasized that the Secret Service needs to adopt a more proactive stance, warning potential suspects that they will take decisive action. “Until that happens, it’s going to continue — [these] attempts on Trump’s life. And then the other half of the equation: somebody in the Secret Service — somebody, I don’t know who’s running it now. I guess they’re short a thousand employees,” he stated.
“Somebody’s going to say, ‘If I were you, I would not even think of shooting at either of the major candidates, or the president, or the vice president. Cause we are going to be so proactive you won’t know what hit you,’” he said. “Go ahead and say that, just like Chuck Schumer said. Until you do that, you’re going to have more of these crazy guys like Routh.”

This warning comes after another assassination attempt on Trump by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who fired multiple rounds at the former president and his supporters during a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13. Following the incident, the Secret Service faced backlash for not identifying Crooks, who had been seen multiple times throughout the event by witnesses and local officials.
