Assuming you're referring to the FBI's investigation of Trump re: classified documents, framing that as an attempt to disqualify him from the presidency is an absurd mischaracterization. Section 2071, which stipulates that the offender “shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.” cannot be a basis for disqualification since the Constitution’s qualifications for president can’t be superseded by a statue. That claim is a thoughtless bit of propaganda targeted at the unthinking MAGA cult.
Putting aside the clear legitimacy of the investigation, it cannot be seen as a real effort to disqualify since no such disqualification mechanism exists. Also, the investigation has certainly helped Trump more than it has hurt him. It has put him front-and-center again. It has made it easy for him to portray himself as an embattled victim. It has caused nearly everyone in the GOP to embrace him and for some to call for his swift and decisive nomination as the party’s presidential candidate again.
As for the assassination attempts, that's just a mischaracterization. The first kid was a registered Republican who happened to have donated like $15 to a single Democratic candidate years ago, but he was a staunch conservative whose activity on social networking reflected an antisemitic, anti-immigrant, extremist ideology, and espoused political violence. Characterizing him as a Democrat by way of calling him a Democratic donator is misleading as it doesn't tell the whole story. You left out the rest which would have been inconvenient to your narrative.
Thr second guy was a Trump voter in 2016, a gun afficionado, and by all accounts, a deranged lunatic. He also previously supported Bernie Sanders, Nikki Haley, and Vivek Ramaswamy. His political views were all over the map. So you see, the full picture doesn't exactly match your characterization. Furthermore, it doesn't appear that political idealogy was the motivating factor behind either attempt. The common denominators were an intense dislike of Trump, access to weapons, and mental instability. Neither of these incidents were the fault of either political party, or any particular ideal.
