Personally I feel while possible its unlikely unless it turns out the sniper had some serious training by the US army or something.... Had he some "serious training by the US army or something" he wouldn't have missed.

You don't even need to be big enough to cover the guy you're protecting.... Quick question RM: Would you rather the shooter aimed a tiny fraction of a degree differently and killed President Trump?

Certainly not! Trump is practically the only candidate they could run who is likely to lose to President Biden. Regarding teen murderer Rittenhouse, I was applying European standards to his actions. The judgement of the combined bigots if Hicksville don't concern me.

Even now the BBC correspondents can't call him "Mr Trump" or even "President Trump" which they tend to attribute to all other ex Presidents just "Trump" It's deliberate, and consistent. The BBC Style Guide says not to use honorifics for convicted criminals. www.bbc.co.uk/newsstyleguide/all#h"honorifics
Mr, Mrs etc should be used, except for convicted criminals - and also journalists, sports people, authors, actors, artists, musicians and entertainers in their professional capacity (eg: Throughout the interview, Paxman refused to be sidetracked. But: The burglars entered Mr Paxman’s house). Court reports, in the UK and abroad, should give defendants an honorific unless and until they are convicted.
In choosing between Miss, Mrs and Ms, try to find out what the person herself uses, and stick to that. Avoid foreign honorifics (eg: Herr, Madame or Signora).
There is no ban on using honorifics with the dead: it’s a matter of judging what is appropriate eg: A man murdered in front of his family does not immediately become "Smith"; he remains Mr Smith. It would be difficult to defend a court report where the victim was "Smith" and the alleged killer "Mr Jones"."

Mm.....try suggesting that to the families of the dead and injured. 😢 Former fire chief who died at Trump rally used his body to shield family from gunfire youtu.be/ohgTXnHS2mo

You don't even need to be big enough to cover the guy you're protecting.... Quick question RM: Would you rather the shooter aimed a tiny fraction of a degree differently and killed President Trump? I don't understand the relevance of your comment above. Anyway, in answer to your question... I consider Trump to be one of the most loathsome people alive today. And also one of the most dangerous. I'd probably dance a little jig around the room were he to choke to death on a cheeseburger. But no, I would not rather Trump had died as a result of this assassination attempt. Political violence(*) has no place in a democracy (vis Jan 6). I don't care whether you're Jo Cox or Donald Trump. The answer lies with debate and in the ballot box, not a bullet. (*) I don't believe Crooks' motives have been ascertained yet.

Surely they are many former presidents / PMs we don’t like. GW Bush is very lucky to be alive today.

This is a very good eye witness account of the events. Either the Secret Service is totally incompetent and should all be sacked or this was an attempt to "JFK" Trump:

😅 All secret service should be fired? Probably not, not even DJT or JB.
From @realdt on a 2 million active user social network.
We all die one day, there’s a “killer” for everyone. I don’t know who will be my killer, it’s not going be Covid, top killer in 2020 and I don’t want it to be a murder.
Without a doubt, there are a number of people want to see DJT dies from other causes, but not assassinated. Even some “Republicans” would hope “God” to “take care” of him. 🤣

Excellent Analysis from two former senior members of the CIA, who say they think this might have been a plot to kill Trump:
