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.
