Francisco Javier Guerrero: Trump and the Futility of Assassinations

Francisco Javier Guerrero suggests it's unsurprising that some wish to harm Donald Trump due to his policies, but condemns assassinations as morally wrong and politically sterile. He notes Trump's rhetoric has fueled widespread hatred.


No tiene nada de extraño o insólito que en Estados Unidos, muchas personas quisieran atentar contra el presidente Donald Trump. Debe comprenderse que Trump ha logrado hacer brotar el odio de multitud de gentes debido a su racismo, a sus afanes supremacistas, a su represión contra los migrantes y a su obsesión compulsiva de impulsar genocidios. Sin embargo, me parecen condenables los magnicidios no sólo por razones morales, sino por su esterilidad política.
