How can we be sure the orange anus isn't orchestrating these 'assassination' attempts. [View all]

He gets an enormous amount of attention and cash each time a supposed assassin wonders into his orbit.

The most recent setup seems so obvious as to be insulting. How does the Secret Service not find a ‘snipers nest’ a few hundred yards away from the path of the supposed target. The secret service manages to fire a few shots at him, missing every time of course, and the guy still gets in his car and drives off into the sunset/sunrise only to be safely captured by the daring do of the local authorities. The guy is white, or seems so, so he isn’t shot while doing whatever it is that white guys do that keeps the cops from shooting them out of hand.

In a week or two we will probably have another ‘attempt’ by some equally unqualified nut. After which the self described genius will make silly demands and a pile of cash while wringing his tiny hands over what some minority group is supposedly eating for lunch.

This all seems more like a Hollywood misdirection feature film than anything else. Anybody remember the “STING”?
