First, there is the perfect scenario. I’m talking about the scenario to make Trump Great Again:
He narrowly escapes assassination. His enemies know he’s going to win the election and they try to kill him but fail. Trump won’t back away. He’s a hero for America. A super-hero.
Just one problem. When you assess the odds of a young kid with a rifle and scope on a roof top, under the pressure of knowing he’s about to be killed by a counter-sniper…
…somehow managing to put a round (on purpose or through luck) through the upper portion of Trump’s ear, as Trump is moving…
And causing no damage to Trump’s skull…
You come out with odds of a trillion to one. Against.
Same odds if you want to say an errant shot somehow caused a piece of shrapnel to do the same limited perfect amount of wounding to Trump.
You can take all this a step further. With a simple thought experiment.
Take the 20 best snipers in the world.
Set them up on a rooftop with the kid’s AR weapon and his scope.
Set up these snipers with the provision that they have just a few seconds to get off 7 rounds aimed at…
A dummy target 150 yards away. The dummy is shifting his feet and moving his head.
The snipers are told to graze the right ear of the dummy and not cause damage to the dummy’s head.
How many rounds do you think will achieve this goal?
None?
That is correct.
It would be like saying:
