    Difficult, NOT impossible. If an assassin is dedicated and motivated enough, ANY public figure can be taken out. And if the shooter has already accepted that he will not survive the mission, his chances of success increase by 60%.

    A smart, well trained, shooter with actual trigger time and a .50
    bolt action rifle. AP round would vaporize the rear compartment of the presidential limo.The kid in PA was a joke.

    LMFAO this channel really leaned into propaganda after Black Rock bought them out.

    Funny side effect is that it suggests the attempts on Trump were for show. Ya know, not that the security "gaps" in Butler if not planned proves it's easy as pie to take out a POTUS. Ya just need to be an accurate shot.
