    Just because the person shooting at you missed doesn’t mean you weren’t in “real danger”. Anyone on the business end of a firearm, wielded intentionally or neglegently, is in real danger. The firearm doesn’t become harmless due to lack of skill or intent.

      Yes, he was absolutely in danger. It might not have been as close of a call as Trump would like to brag about however if it was shrapnel of some sort

        That’s true enough. Probably not gonna convince the “jesus saved trump” crowd otherwise, though 🙄

      But that’s the thing if this is shrapnel and all the real shots hit the elevated bleachers the real risk to trump would probably not be very high. It certainly would suggest this is a mass shooting rather than a targetted assassination.
