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.

    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.

    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.
