The best part is there was a police officer who climbed the roof and saw the shooter, who threatened him with the gun, so he turned around. Trump got shot because of scaredy-cop.
Trump was incredibly lucky. Shooter guy was also lucky and fairly skilled, but mostly exploited the incompetence or the security. Few cm-s to the right and he would have made history. Though I as an EU citizen would have preferred if he just stayed home. If Trump died, there would already be a civil war, and now he’ll “just” win the election, which is also not great regarding the future support of Ukraine and security of Europe.
I don’t think this is going to make the election play out much differently. Trumps crazies were already going to turn out. I’m still going to turn out.
Glad to help. And yeah, remember that Lemmy has far fewer checks and balances on manipulation than reddit does. Providing sauce during current world events is just good etiquette.

Is this real? I hadn’t heard that part yet
Tis. I provided sauce from AP News on reddit.
Any source for that?

Sauce is AP News. Police officer likely saved Trump’s life by making gunman rush for his shots.
The one time I wish they were pussies and they can’t even get that right.

No luck about it. Luck is for people who don’t plan.
Lol, not really. Hitting a bullseye on an 8 inch target is stupid easy at that distance with a rifle.
Either his sight was not properly set, or he was not very good with it. Or maybe both.
Who knows. Glad he sucked. It’s just a shame his missed shots hit people.

Thanks for holding me accountable for being a good lemmy/fediverse netizen. 😊
