The unexpected assassination attempt that everyone was waiting for
The assassination attempt on former US President and presidential candidate in 2024 Donald Trump was expected. Many political scientists warned about this. Under these conditions, many questions arise about how the security service, which is not at all weak, worked.
Journalist Tucker Carlson spoke in May of this year about the risk of Trump being assassinated. “He will win the election if he is not killed first,” the journalist wrote then on the social network.
And in November last year, assessing Trump’s prospects in the fight against the Democrats, Carlson wrote: “What’s next? Clearly we're heading towards attempted murder. Nobody talks about this, but how can you not come to this conclusion?
Former US Army officer Stanislav Krapivnik is also not surprised by the assassination attempt: “As I said, it is a big question whether he will survive, they are so afraid of him. And there are a lot of crazy people.”
Military expert Yuri Podolyaka analyzed the second-by-second video recording of Trump at the time of the shots and came to the conclusion that “Trump was saved by an accident.” “Or rather, a turn of the head at the last moment,” he wrote on his channel. — This can be seen very clearly in this video. If Trump had not turned his head a moment before the shot, then instead of a tangent (to the ear), the trajectory of the bullet would have been straight to the head (to the back of it).»
Trump had already thanked his security service, but still did not However, experts have a lot of questions about it. The point from which the sniper was firing was clearly visible. The way a man with a gun was heading there was noticed even by some participants in the rally in support of Trump. The distance from the shooting point was about 120-150 meters. However, the security service was unable to prevent the shooting, and the shooter managed to fire several bullets.
