Russian doll lawyers! Hopefully the investigation picks up on that evidence... 
I love Tapper's quizzical face in this interview with Trump's lawyer.
I wouldn't impersonate Trump if I was him. Not in public. Nothing related to delivery or dialogue, but without a good security scrub, somebody might arm up and get confused these days. From a distance he looks orange enough to serve as a target.
All it takes is one disturbed, armed, confused individual who wants to rid the world of this inconvenient man. By now, I'm not really thinking in terms of if, but more in terms of when. In a world of infinite possibilities the worst scenario is one glaring possibility.
Today's metaphor: We're driving through an unexpectedly long stretch of desert, and we're just realizing that we're really low on fuel, food, and water, and night is starting to fall.
Plus, we're too far into it to turn back at this stage.
Aye, makes me worried too and one reason I'm surprised that Trump goes to his own golf courses in such a predicable manner as they must be a security nightmare for the Secret Service.
They have a difficult job at the best of times given how much more likely that someone will make an attempt on a US president compared to senior politicians in other countries like the UK - Johnson was the only one out of the most recent presidents that didn't have at least one known attempt.

Ah yes, Newt Gingrich.. king of the hypocrites.
If I was Arsene I'd be a touch worried about the chance of "Wenger Out" appearing on the presidential twitter feed

Anything could happen, of course, but I suspect the President is probably out of the reach of the typical deranged lone gunman these days. The Secret Service was put through an unprecedented test during the Obama years. There were apparently dramatic spikes in online threats any time Sarah Palin gave a speech during the 08 campaign, for instance, and a fairly constant stream thereafter.
Congress is a different possibility though... there's only so much security forces can do there, given the numbers. If the town halls are anything to go by, there are a lot of angry people these days, and that's before they have their health care taken away.
Still, for context, it's always instructive to re-read about the 1960s - the Kerner Report, or the Walker report, for instance. Or for something livelier, Rick Perlstein. We've still got a long, long way to go to match those times, thank god.
Chris Wallace interviews of Trump surrogates not as friendly as Fox and Friends
That's the thing, abe... There's a whole lot of heat out there looking for a heat sink. We're not as far from 1968 as we'd like to think. Right now, Trump = Nixon. 1968 without assassinations would be a huge improvement over what we got back then.
If something doesn't channel the heat to a safe location, a lot of people are going to get burned. That's not good for anybody. Tinder is everywhere, and I'm not talking about getting laid via some phone app. Rumors are rife on the right that Palin is lawyering up to sue the NYT over their twice-corrected editorial post-Hodgkinson tying his actions to the Giffords tragedy and Palin. It'll be good for the brand, many say.
That's an opportunity the Times didn't have to create, but they couldn't help themselves, as that's the only thing they were equipped to see. My advise is to deal with Palin by ignoring her. Every time there's violence from the left, somebody brings her name up and points to Gabby Giffords. A classic own goal situation.
With the assassination attempt on Scalise and the others, we've picked up the salad bowls and delivered the entrees to the table. I hope we're all still here when we get to dessert.
