I agree, especially since Trump will almost certainly continue doing events.

The assassin was obvious hoping to succeed and kill Trump. In that circumstance he would have ensured Trump didn't get elected.

Non-trivial chance that another assassin succeeds before the election...

I agree, SS not securing the roof is sus.

But your "biggest point" assumes the would-be assassin had two brain cells to rub together to figure out the political ramifications of his actions.

More likely he was just a brainwashed leftard who "figured out" "gEe, I hAvE hOmE tUrF aDvAnTaGe, I wIlL oUtSmArT tHeM aLl WiTh My GrAnDpA's WaBbIt RiFlE".

Was the assassination attempt on Trump fake?

Thuth be told, he got awfully close.
