    “The probability that a homicidal maniac will try to kill you is proportionate to how many homicidal maniacs hear your name,” he said. “So they hear my name a lot — I’m like, ‘OK, I’m on the list,’ you know.”

      Considering the first attempt on Trump’s life, and I hate to admit it, but he’s not that far off. I can’t tell you how large of a quantity it is, but trump sure riled up a bunch of mentally ill people who may or may not have a good grasp of their mental stability.

          You’re describing professional hits like governments do. Our shootings in this country are 99.9% by crazy lone gunmen.
