Michelle Malkin came up with the term assassination chic (also called assassination fascination, and she has a whole chapter in her book Unhinged) during the Bush 43 years, when Democrats and some lefties around the world were bringing their fantasies of assassinating George Bush to the mainstream. Obviously, it made a return as soon as Trump was elected, but now we get the Paper Of Record playing with it

The Makarov misfired.
The Secret Service agent at the president’s shoulder heard the click, spun into a crouch. He registered the scene instantly, drawing his own weapon with razor-edge reflexes.
The Russian tasted failure. He closed his eyes and waited to pay the cost.
