inexperienced. head shots are not what professionals go for... that's only if you want to show off. also there are reports Trump moved his head right before it happened and that could have saved his life. Yet another reason you don't go for the head.

Always aim for the crotch, it would have been way funnier to clip it.

But then you're shooting a probably full diaper depending on how long it had been since he'd been changed.

Imagine having like 10 secret service guys shove his face into the spilled diaper remnants.

According to Stormy Daniels, that's a much smaller target

Thought the same, but maybe he was aiming center mass? Doesn't take much of to be off at 300" with iron.

In any case, you're right, he was certainly inexperienced.

At 300 inches I could hit him with a putting wedge.

I think there was a photo showing a hit center mass, but people under the protection of secret service usually wear vests during campaign stops and rallys

I know the photo you are talking about and I had that same impression at first. That was a red hat that looked like blood on his torso, though.

He wears body armor now though
