I highly doubt it - right-wing politics don’t really work like that. When Verwoerd (of Apartheid-fame) got assassinated, no such thing happened. It barely happened after Mussolini got offed. It certainly didn’t happen when Shinzo Abe bit the bullet.
I’d say that if Trump died it would have done a lot more than simply dent the whole “sturm und drang” bs the far-right has been peddling - it would have been a real setback for them. I think the post is correct - it’s got Trump and his high-up wannabe-bootlickers in the GOP rattled. Only time will tell how much, though.
Shinzo Abe was no longer in power, and his assassin turned himself in, with evidence of Abe’s corruption and proof that Abe had essentially tricked the assassin’s mother into committing a slow suicide. That was always going to Garner sympathy in a culture that literally worships their ancestors.

Since when has that ever phased right-wingers?
Japanese people are not a monolith - stop treating them as one.
