The shooter was aiming for Trump’s head and it missed only because Trump moved his head a split second before.

This is what happened in "The Day of the Jackal," a great movie from 1973 and a thrilling novel. Here, life imitates art. Fortunately.

What a failure. Hopefully we hear that the onsite management all the way up to the director are fired or resume come Monday morning.

The secret service needs new management, quick assessment of their abilities, and reassign the A-team to Trump and Biden.

Looking at the map, how can anyone not think of securing those nearby buildings?

If this is true and it gets out as true, all hell is going to break loose.

It’s not surprising when it is planned.

We’re supposed to believe a 20 year old Antifa goon just happened to use the most advantageous roof, closest to Trump, clearly visible, and defy the SS because they ‘messed up’...yet seconds later they’ve located and killed him?

Yeah...ok.

“Security experts said it was difficult, and perhaps impossible, to eliminate every threat,”

Trump shouldn’t have events in wide open spaces.

148 yards. So not necessarily a military trained sniper as some have been suggesting. I’m willing to bet many civilian Freepers could make that shot.

I'm not the least bit surprised Justin Bieber wears knickers.

The shooter/handler knew that there would be no opposition and that they would be allowed to perform the mission without any interference.

I’ve seen that picture. It doesn’t change the physics. The bullet fired at trump from 130 yards = 390 feet would reach him in ~0.13 seconds. The sound from that shot would reach him in ~0.347 seconds. He turned his head for another reason (divine intervention?) not because he heard the shot. Unless, the shot that hit him was a later shot.

Gloating Russia Blames Biden Administration for ‘Provoking’ Trump Attack

Breitbart ^ | 07/14/2024
Posted on 7/14/2024, 11:46:45 AM by ChicagoConservative27

The assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump came about through Joe Biden’s enfeebled administration creating “the atmosphere” that enabled the shooter to undertake his failed mission, Russia claimed in the wake of the attack.

The Kremlin laid the blame squarely at the doorstep of the White House, the Daily Telegraph reports.

“We do not believe that the attempt to eliminate and assassinate Trump was organised by the current authorities,” Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, told reporters, suggesting even in the denial that it was a possibility.

The Ingraham Angle - Friday, April 19

Trump Trial, White House, Israel-Iran

House Democrats have introduced a bill that would strip Secret Service protection from convicted felons sentenced to prison, a move directly targeting former President Trump who is currently on criminal trial in New York City for alleged hush money payments made during the 2016 election campaign and faces several other cases which could land him behind bars.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the former chair of the now disbanded Jan. 6 congressional committee, introduced legislation that would automatically nix Secret Service protection for those who have been convicted of a federal or state felony that carries a minimum one-year prison term.

The proposed bill is provocatively called the “Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act.

President Joe Biden: “We’re done talking about the debate. It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.”
Did Joe Biden signal that now is the time to assassinate Donald Trump?

I wonder if it was a deliberate failure?

Makes you wonder... If this had been successful, then Trump would no longer be a problem for the left. If one were planning a can't-lose scenario, the alternate step on the flowchart would be to stage a "right-wing retaliation" against Biden and solve that problem, instead.
