Press X to doubt
…
You can press charges.
Damn right.
I think God might be sending them.
Bullet proof trash bag would work for me.
who would waste time on a body shot?
People who have actually fired a gun.
ha, i think youll need a bit more of a qualifier. ive fired a gun lots, and i cant hit the side of the proverbial barn
Unless you are literally holding a gun to their head, you have better chances of actually hitting vital organs in the body.
If you know what you’re doing, and not just someone who plays video games, you would. It’s a much easier target, and usually fatal. Hitting the head is unlikely to be fatal unless you hit the brain.
ha yeah cuz a body shot is 100% death.
isnt the brain like 80% of the head?
head = obviously unprotected. body=unknown
i get your point, but still seems like the wrong way to go
Dude, soldiers are trained to aim center-mass, and they’re trained killers. Some civilian, who doesn’t have nearly the same amount of training with their weapon, and also is much less likely to be going up against armor, definitely doesn’t have a reason to go for a headshot.
A rifle, even firing an intermediate cartridge, such as a 5.56mm NATO round, has a pretty good chance to penetrate all but plate carriers. You can bet our president isn’t going to be walking around with plates on. Even still, the neck is almost certainly lethal. The head has pretty low odds.
The head may seem like the way to go, if your only experience comes from Call of Duty. It isn’t though. Even trained marksmen don’t go for headshots, unless that’s the only option.
Even if you hit the brain it’s unlikely to kill. You have to hit the brain stem, which is not very big, for a guaranteed kill
The brain isn’t fatal because he’s clearly not using it already
Total area of lethal spots on the body > same on the head.
On the one hand, you have his ear hit. On the other, you got Kirk. When it works, it works. When it doesn’t, you don’t have a second chance, and dozens, hundreds, thousands might die (Gaza, Iran, US) before the next attempt because you missed your shot.
Reminded of when Thanos says “you should have gone for the head”
… so they’ve started broadcasting reasons to doubt there have been any real attempts? I mean, reasons on the order of “no one asked and they should never tell”. I can smell one of his “genius ideas” they could not convince him not to act on from here.
Maybe don’t be such cunt that even your own supporters want to…
Huh. I always assumed US presidents wore bulletproof vests in their public appearances.
Nah, wouldn’t do much. Any assassin would be aiming for the head, not the body.
I’d think it’s more about the high powered rifle ammunition that would tear through any vest he’d be wearing. It’s not like it will have armor plates.
US presidents have been attacked with handguns more often than rifles.
Source?
There have been two rifles during this term. Kennedy had a rifle. Bush had a shoe.
Wikipedia. I counted manually, though, so you’ll have to double check my math.
Im pretty sure more bombs were planned than either, as well, though I wasn’t actually counting that one.
Reagan attempt was a handgun I think
Lincoln, Garfield, and Reagan at least. Maybe some others?
Pretty sure the weight of a real vest would make him feel over forwards
They don’t make them for his body type anyways. Just strap a riot shield to his fupa and call it a day.
He does that with the kids already
It would be counterbalanced by the poop in his diapers
I can imagine him milking this for all it’s worth, but I can’t imagine him actually wearing a vest in all but the most extreme circumstances. They’re too damn uncomfortable, and he wouldn’t tolerate that.
Just put some suspensors on him and give him a Holtzman shield already.
There is no way he will wear a proper vest with the plates required to stop a rifle round. His old spoiled rich pampered ass would find it too tight, heavy and uncomfortable to wear.
Maybe the extra weight would strain his heart…,… What a shame that would be.
Plus, itd squeeeeze his daipers at an awkward angle.
hes already wearing lifts, which is giving him the centaur stance, plus a possible girdle.
squeeze that fat greasy turd right up his back.
Plates? Wouldn’t it be kevlar? I thought plates were for knives and old pre-kevlar vests
Kevlar only stops very low power rounds and shrapnel. A typical rifle round is much more powerful and will go through too many layers of kevlar for a vest made entirely of kevlar to be effective and practical against that. For that you need ballistic plates that are designed to shatter on impact, absorbing the bullet and its splash and dissipating its energy in the process.
The total can probably weigh something around 30 lbs for something Trump-sized and can stop a typical rifle round. But the worst is that this stuff isn’t flexible or breathable. It’s hot and sweaty, chafes your skin, hugs your chest tight and you are sandwiched between two rigid and heavy plates. The front one goes way up to the base of your neck and can press against your throat when you’re sitting down and slouch, which Trump does. It’s a miserable thing to be wearing all day.
Kevlar won’t stop high velocity rounds. Ceramic or sometimes steel plates are added to critical areas for that purpose.
Plates have been the go to for rifle rounds since early in Afghanistan/Iraq at the very least.
I think a square of gauze on his ear would be much more effective.
These are all crisis actors. These assassin’s can’t be this inept.
The CIA would like to know where you get your assassins.
correction. The CIA cut the budget because of Tulsi Gabbard therefore, all the assassins are rent a cops at this point.
So even less capable then the the ones they usally have access too.
What about second fake assassination attempt?
this a 3rd one.
