Speaking of fear; am I the only person who believes that there were high ranking secret service officials who must have known that the kid with a rifle was on the roof in PA with a plan to shoot when Trump was at his rally and who waited until he opened fire to take him down? Call me a conspiracy theorist. But maybe someone should notify him that he might have agents close to him who are loyal first to the Constitution and to the country who are not as loyal to him as he thinks they are. People with great power always need to fear the people who protect them because they know just how weak and feckless they truly are.

To your point the following Emperors were killed by their Praetorian Guard

Aurelian

Balbinus

Caligula

Caracalla

Commodus

Elagabalus

Galba

Gordian III

Numerian

Pertinax

Philip II (Roman emperor)

Probus (emperor)

Pupienus

But this isn't Rome, where the legions and guards were bought by Senators.

Trumps Secret Service are loyal cult members, There pocketbook, and future are dependent on his favor.
