Trump’s decisions made out of greed and malice killed untold thousands of people, and stripped rights away from thousands more. He’s made it very clear he intends to double down if elected again. Killing him before he manages to worm his way back into the oval office could save so many lives, and improve the quality of life for millions. I feel like that makes it morally justifiable to kill him. It’s basically self defense.
I agree with you in spirit, but your argument can be stretched to justify actions I’m sure you would not approve of.
What about all the people killed by drone strikes under the Obama administration? Would assassinating him be justifiable as self defense?
And how does killing Trump solve anything? The republican party will keep chugging along fine trying to take your rights away but now they’ll have a martyr.

World leaders would be far less likely to order drone strikes or declare war if their skin might be on the line too.
Killing Trump deprives them of their only viable candidate for this election.
The martyr effect is definitely a valid argument, but that’s more of a tactical concern than an ethical one.
