ลอบสังหาร "ทรัมป์" จะชนะเลือกตั้ง หากประวัติศาสตร์ซ้ำรอย?
Summary
The talk covers ten assassination episodes that changed American history, beginning with Lincoln.

Political motive and mental illness read differently

Conspiracy theories grow in evidential gaps
Every case with ambiguous detail acquires them, and the pattern is consistent.
History does not guarantee repetition
Past patterns help form a hypothesis. They do not predict any particular election.
