Assuming this is real, Ohio Attorney General candidate Elliot Forhan thinks he's being pretty clever about selling himself with the promise that, if elected, he is "going to kill Donald Trump." Previous would-be assassins have proven that you don't need to run for office to take a shot at the president, but that's Forhan's angle: as Ohio attorney general, he's going to have Trump convicted of … something … that results in a sentence of execution.
NEW: Democrat Ohio Attorney General candidate Elliot Forhan says he is going to “kill Donald Trump” if he’s elected.

“I want to tell you what I mean when I say that I am going to kill Donald Trump,” the former Ohio state representative said.
“I mean I'm going to… pic.twitter.com/NNgWggltHA
The post continues:
… obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence presented at a trial conducted in accordance with the requirements of due process resulting in a sentence duly executed of capital punishment.”
They’re not even trying to hide it anymore.
So this way, he can make killing Trump his policy platform and perhaps escape a visit from the Secret Service at the same time. We wonder what crime he's going to charge Trump with that comes with the death penalty.
This is mental illness. These people need psych evals, not social media validation from fellow violent sociopaths.

You kill Donald Trump, we kill you....you know, in the same sense he means it.

This guy saw #Virginia elected an attorney general who wanted to kill his political opponent's children, so he decided to try the same tactic and see if the idiot Democrats in Ohio would do the same thing.

Their hate is so real and intense. I just don't get it.

He's probably going to get elected like Jay Jones without a single thing happening to him.

Sounds like the conditions for premeditation are met.

His words alone should place him in jail for open threats to a sitting president. You don’t say kill to achieve a conviction.
— Jeff G. (@jlgusa) January 27, 2026
Notice that he doesn’t actually present what (if any) crime he intends to do this for. In his mind, a show trial is enough to get a conviction for the crime of ‘being DJT.’

What a whackjob
Forhan: "I'm redefining the word murder. It now means whatever I want it to mean, except actual murder, except actually literally killing someone. When I say I'm going to murder, I mean at the ballot box.

Hope no one takes it the "wrong" way..."
Right.
A Harvard psychiatrist used to say all the time during Trump's first term that he needed to be committed to a 72-hour psychiatric hold. How about this guy? Maybe some therapy is to find out where these death fantasies started and how.
