You forgot to address your racism.

The blowback is from Democrats continually shouting "who will rid me of this turbulent priest?" and their whacko followers obeying.

Oh, so we should feel guilty for continuing to point out how he's a criminal scumbag with a severe personality disorder that prevents him from running the country lawfully and effectively? I don't think so. Trump is responsible for his own statements and behavior. You guys are arguing irrationally.

You forgot to address the frequent comments about the color of Trump's skin and why it's relevant to anything?

What do you want me to address about it? His fake tan makeup, hair color, and hairstyle usually look clownishly orange, though he has toned it down for the campaign. And he has become an idol.

Trump isn't a side. He's only for himself, and always throws his own followers and fans under the bus so quickly you wouldn't believe.
But nah, he's not a threat because he keeps getting shot at. That may be a sign that one's messaging is out-of-touch with reality, if it's so consistently stoking actual TDS, and he should review it if only for his own sake; but people could be shot at for all kinds of reasons, almost all of them unwarranted, unacceptable, and not the target's fault, including this case.
Trump's a threat to the country because he openly sells US policy and intelligence to foreign businesses and governments, openly coddles with dictators that start wars, openly withdraws US support from its allies, he reneges out of hard-won diplomatic agreements that take months or years of negotiations and thrusts us into half-assed terrible agreements he thought of in 40 seconds while Truthing on the toilet. But Trump manages to go even further and works people up into some lunatic raging froth, which is dangerous and sad in cases like January 6, Pelosi's husband getting hammered in the head, or getting himself shot at... The kooks shooting him are evidently mentally ill or deeply troubled, so they're not people I'd think of as direct threats to the country, although still to the people they target when they're off their rockers. They're just a consistent part of the larger story.

There are no right-wing vigilante mass murders going on in this country.
Most of the terror attacks in the US are perpetrated by right-wing vigilante mass murderers.

There's something special about someone openly advocating political violence for 10 years, then having his former supporters who bought into that shit attempting to assassinate him.

Unless you're counting muslims as American "right-wingers" I doubt this.

Islamist terrorists are the second largest source, yes, but all those white nationalist synagogue shootings, the anti-immigrant shootings, the people who try to start a "race war", they are motivated by right wing ideology, not by any islamist rhetoric.
Just in the past few years, nearly every extremism-related killing in the US has been perpetrated by right-wing extremists, completely dwarfing any other groups (such as black nationalists or islamist extremists)
