President Trump has now faced three legitimate threats on his life from three armed madmen, one of whom came within centimeters of fatally striking his head.

    I’m really not a conspiracy guy, but, I don’t believe any of the attempts were legit.

    Three legitimate attempts? Don’t lie to me, now. These look like bad theatre.

    How about a bulletproof diaper instead and one of those little hats with a propeller on it.

    How funny would it be if Trump bans guns cause of all the assassination attempts

    Doubt he’ll do it. Level III BA will make him look even bigger under his suit

      With his normal stance I imagine l he would just topple over like a sack of potatoes.

      Teddy Roosevelt famously only needed his speech booklet (he continued to give his speech after being shot by a would-be assassin).

      Reagan also was shot by a .22LR rifle (which he initially didn’t notice) without a vest on.

      Usually the Secret Service is enough though. You usually aren’t getting close enough to the president outside of ceremonial/public event circumstances unless you have “Yankee White” clearance anyway (You’d be detained before getting within a few blocks of them).

        I’m shocked no one has tried the explosive drone technique. Even active war zones have trouble containing those, let alone a couple block perimeter.

          They have countermeasures in place for drones in “no fly” air space. And that air space is a moving box around him.

      The first one was literally inches away. Had the wind been different, who knows…
