There's usually one or two people actually, but they don't usually help their cause as much as they'd like to. That guy who missed Trump didn't help anyone do anything except make trump almost a martyr. I had a friend who told me that he knew Trump would win after that. While I don't think in absolutes and wasn't as sure as him (and this was not a maga guy of the rails, this is a calm man who had more to lose than me) he was right that trump did win. Most people who assassinate a president or candidate don't get the change they want.
They are always mentally ill. Of course they don't. When you are over that edge it's clear that there isn't a whole lot of reality and humanity left in a person. Any murderer that has been analyzed or recovered explicitly mentions overriding critical thought to be able to do those deeds.
