      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.

        Shooter guy was … fairly skilled

        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.
