Several Oddities Found in Trump Assassination Attempt
[Regnum] There are at least five oddities in the assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump. The authors of " Military Chronicle " drew attention to this.
It is noted that before the politician's speech, the Secret Service was supposed to check all possible points from which shooting could be carried out, but it appears that this was not done.
In addition, eyewitnesses warned the police that a man with a gun was trying to get onto the roof of the building, but these statements were ignored.
"130 meters is not the longest distance. At that distance, you don't need to make adjustments for wind or use powerful optics - what you can buy at your local gun store is enough. This suggests that the shooter had very low qualifications, and this is what saved Trump," the statement said.
The authors also note that the low qualifications of the criminal are indicated by his use of an AR-15 rifle with a magazine for 15-20 rounds. The shooter fired five shots, meaning he had 10-15 rounds left, but he did not use them - he was either scared or had already been eliminated.
In addition, the actions of the Secret Service, whose snipers were nearby and should have noticed the man with the gun and neutralized him before the shot was fired, raise questions, but this was done only after the bullet damaged Trump's ear.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on July 13, an assassination attempt was made on Trump at a rally of supporters in the city of Butler, Pennsylvania. The former American leader interrupted his speech and hid behind the podium, after which he was moved to a safe place. Trump reported that he was wounded in the ear, which is why he lost a lot of blood.
The suspect in the shooting was killed, an AR-type rifle was found at the scene. The FBI identified the suspect in the shooting as 20-year-old Pennsylvania resident Thomas Matthew Crooks. Before the attack, he recorded a video in which he said he hated Republicans and Trump.

Expert names mistakes in Trump's security organization at Pennsylvania rally
Those responsible for the security of former US President Donald Trump, who was assassinated in Pennsylvania on July 13, made several significant mistakes, said Pyotr Fefelov, an expert in the field of integrated security at the Vityaz Group of Companies.
“In fact, I just watched this video again and, unfortunately, I didn’t see any use of armored folders or even umbrellas that would block visual contact,” Fefelov said in an interview with RT.
He explained that if those responsible for Trump's security had blocked visual contact, the attacker would not have seen the politician. The relevant service should have identified and controlled all possible firing points in advance of the event.
The bodyguards also behaved impeccably when they stood around Trump and raised their hands after the shots were fired. This would not have been an obstacle for a sniper.
“Yes, at first they dropped him and covered him with their own bodies, but then they allowed him to stand up so that his face and head could be seen,” Fefilov noted.
This was wrong, because there might not have been just one shooter, and they could have started shooting from a completely different place and at a different angle to the potential victim.
The expert noted that as a result, a lot of questions arise about the level of Trump’s security, given his status.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, an assassination attempt on Trump was made on July 13 at a rally in the city of Butler. When Trump was speaking to his supporters, shots were fired. A bullet hit the politician in the upper part of his right ear. Two people who were in the area of the podium were also wounded, and another died.
Trump turned his head to the right before the shot, and the bullet only grazed his ear. The politician immediately ducked, and the guards rushed to cover him. A little over a minute later, Trump stood up and raised his fist. Blood was visible on his face. The guards took the politician to the car.
The suspect in the assassination attempt was eliminated, and security forces found an AR-type rifle at the crime scene. As it turned out, the shooter at Trump was 20-year-old Pennsylvania resident Thomas Matthew Crooks, who had previously recorded a video stating his hatred of Trump and the Republican Party.
The press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov expressed condolences to the family of the deceased on behalf of the Russian leadership and wished recovery to all those who suffered as a result of the assassination attempt. The Kremlin representative recalled that Moscow has always condemned any manifestations of violence.

She drew attention to the fact that all American media and commentators, speaking about the assassination attempt on Trump, vied with each other to note that this is a “threat to American democracy.”

The suspect in the shooting was killed, an AR-type rifle was found at the scene. The FBI identified the suspect in the shooting as 20-year-old Pennsylvania resident Thomas Matthew Crooks. Before the attack, he recorded a video in which he said he hated Republicans and Trump.
Zakharova previously noted that attempts on the lives of presidents have already become a tradition in the domestic political life of the United States.
Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that after numerous attempts to remove Trump from the political arena, it was obvious that his life was in danger. He drew attention to the fact that the US political system is such that it has repeatedly presented the world with examples of domestic violence in history - there have been repeated cases of American presidents being wounded and killed.
