So you think that majority of people would vote Biden if trump died? You don’t think people would just vote republican out of anger?
If Trump had been killed today, I’m fearful we wouldn’t be worried about what the voting would look like in November. And I take no pleasure in saying that. Dark times.
The more I think about it, the more it seems like your theory was correct. The fed doesn’t care who the president is, but they care about the president’s stance on bitcoin. If trump went to the Bitcoin conference, it would rally the price and hurt the dollar. It could’ve been an actual attempt to kill or just a warning. If trump still ends up going, then this theory is probably wrong.
