That would just be a wild guess.

It didn't help former President Teddy Roosevelt. Nor did the attempts against sitting Presidents Gerald Ford or Jimmy Carter.

President Reagan won re-election. So did Presidents Nixon and Lincoln (after a bullet passed thru his hate in August 1864).

Those are but a few of the far too many assassination attempts.

@beckyromero I agree with that 100%way too many...Thankfully they usually fail.....I'm not even sure it was an assination attempt????

I'm sure the would-be assassin wasn't aiming at a bird.

@beckyromero Becky I've cut myself shaving worse than the blood from the bullet...I'm sorry but I think the picture of him surrounded by SS agents with one of them looking right at the camera and Trump has his fist in the air....with the blood on his face is the most STAGED picture I think I've ever seen....And then Secret service agents took time to find his shoes before getting him in the SUV while the shooting was happening....I have 2 friends that were secret service agents ....one with President Reagan and one was on George W Bush Jr's detail ....I have chatted with both of these guys and both of them in their opinion think it wasn't real....and I'm no gun guy but I think a bullet from an AR-15 would do a lot more damage even if it was just a graze....And all the people sitting right behind Trump on the stage didn't seem concerned at all....none of them hit the ground or tried to take cover......The whole thing seems hinkey to me!!!

Uh huh. And Steve Bartman was on Jeb Bush's payroll.
