"I'm curious if others have seen recent stagings of Assassins and if the Trump supporter analogy is there."
It was certainly there in the revival at the Chichester Festival Theatre here in the UK earlier this year. That production basically took place at a Trump rally, and ended with the Assassins singing the reprise of Everybody's Got The Right in contemporary street clothes inside a trashed Oval Office.
sf, thank you for letting me know about that version! It sounds like that director took it even further than the current one did. I wonder how that went over in the UK - I don't know if Trump feels like he's many miles away for Britons or if he's right there, so to speak.
