My violent fantasy: Trump is laid down in his tighty-whities in a 6 in thick bed of molten tar so he can’t move. Then a steamroller rolls over him, starting from his feet to his head, one inch every couple of minutes so I can see his pain. When he passes out, we wake him before continuing on again.
But knowing my luck, after this happens, his supporters would just start wearing steamroller pendants and treating him like the next Jesus more than they already do.
You may want to go back and reread about the whole tar and feather thing, it’s actually way more fucked up than you may know.
Even if the tar was only like ~140F like an asphalt road can hit pretty easily in the summer, it’s covering your body and sticking to your skin. But this was in a time where they didn’t have fine control of heat, and was likely just warmed over a fire. Very likely aren’t surviving that experience, especially when it was practiced…
It would honestly depend on the melting point of the tar and what it’s mixed with. I guess they could just heat pure wood tar, but they had the technical know how to mix it with volatile plant oils to make it more liquid.
The goal is to humiliate a person; running around like a chicken is more humiliating than being a dead chicken. Since they wanted a show, they would have went out of their way to make it less deadly.

Note: I said this is fantasy. A man can dream.
Don’t rule out scaphism as an alternative.
Any fantasy involving him suffering insurmountable pain over a long period of time is what I wish for that “man”.
Isn’t molten tar going to be a pretty quick death? How hot is that stuff?
They used to tar and feather people as a form of humiliation. I’m sure it wouls leave burns but it can’t be THAT bad.

From what admittedly little I’ve read on the subject, it seems plenty of people survived tar and feathering.
