People saying the failed assassination attempt against Trump was staged should take a closer look.

This bullet grazed his cheek and almost took off his ear.

An inch to the right and his brains would have been blown out.

The best snipers in the world couldn't stage something like this, a gust of wind could have decided his fate.

I fully agree with all of your points, which is why I limited my comment to the "best snipers in the world couldn't do this" part. More agreement with adrenaline is a huge factor. Just ask any hunter what their first takedown was like. Even sighting in 800m paper target shots still gets me a little hit of adrenaline. :D

Okay, wait... I'll take a little bit of issue with one little point about controlled conditions. I grew up on a farm and was surrounded by farmers and ranchers. We're used to shooting in less-than-perfect conditions: standing; just grabbed the rifle off the rack; exhausted from a rough day of baling or herding; blah blah blah taco (totally a technical term). Still nowhere near career snipers, though.
