... it's not the first time a President has been targeted with ricin. Envelopes with the deadly poison were addressed Barack Obama in 2013, and in 2018, packages containing ricin were sent to the then Defense Secretary and the FBI Director. The substance is infamous; used to assassinate Bulgarian dissident George Markaff in London in the 70s. Markaff was stabbed with the tip of an umbrella injected with a pellet laced with ricin, dubbed the Umbrella Murder. The suspect in this case is now expected to face federal charges in the US after targeting one of the most powerful men in the world.

A very interesting topic. Unfortunately Trump didn't open the envelope personally and he is still alive and kicking now, at least according to him and his White House personal physician.

Unfortunately.

But he's the President. He wouldn't have any time left to blow his own trumpet and fling mud at his opponents and smear China if he had to personally check every envelope that is addressed to him. Whoever's behind the ricin scheme is indeed very naive and very stupid.
