We got lucky that the perp screwed up the shot.
We have all heard of “buck fever” where a hunter misses an easy shot due to nerves. I suspect something similar happened here.
He didn’t entirely screw up. He made a solid shot to the head but Trump had just moved as the bullet was in flight. It was a kill shot otherwise.

We got lucky that the guy was a putz who probably spent a lot more time playing video games than he had shooting a rifle. If he'd been remotely competent with a rifle Trump would be dead.
Did shioter screw up, or did Trump move his head at last millisecond, to look at the immigration chart? I’ve heard the latter. Also, Trump had an apparent bullet home in his suit too.
