If you don’t know what I mean by the Putin Defenestration Department check out this Danziger cartoon. You can also look up Putin defenestration here on Google. A 2022 article in The Atlantic (subscription) calls it Sudden Russian Death Syndrome, a term used in this Jan. 8, 2023 article in The New Indian Express.

The reason this method of assasination holds appeal for someone in the public eye is that the person who ordered it can always claim it was a suicide.

Say Trump became president again and wanted to order the assasination of someone. Seal Team Six wouldn’t be a logical choice for the simple (or not so simple) reason that they are 1) a team who will discuss such an unconstitutional order amongst themselves and 2) because they take their oath to the Constitution seriously.

Not only that, while highly effective, their operations aren’t always low-profile.

As long as Trump isn’t safe in his position as a dictator who can do anything with impunity, as long as he couldn’t literally shoot someone on live TV and get away with it, as a psychopath he’d be much more likely to select loyal henceman willing and able to carry out his wishes to have someone thrown out of of the window of a tall building.

Of course there are practical problems with this. For one, anyone who thinks they are at risk would be well advised never to go into a building taller than two or three stories. Another is that to defensestrate, for example, those who work in tall buildings like 30 Rockerfeller Plaza, the home of MSNBC, one has to figure out a way to not only get past security but deal with windows that probably don’t open and which have shatterproof glass.

If Trump ever felt as safe in his postion as a Putin or Kim Jung Un type dictator his assassins would not have to be bothered with such pesky details. They could just blow up someone in their car up or shoot them in the middle of a busy street like Fifth Avenue. This is unless Trump decided he wanted a show trial (Eileen Cannon could be the judge) and a public execution, preferably for this psychopathic sadist, nothing as “humane” as lethal injection. I expect he’d bring back hangings and firing squads if he could.

Of course all of this may be irrelevant if what is predicted in this article comes to pass:

Former Trump officials raise red flags over his military plans if he’s reelected
