      If it was a successful attempt by agent 47 the headline would be like “antique lavish chandelier falls upon Trump in freak accident at fundraising event in Mar-A-Lago. No foul play suspected, say police”

        If it’s in russia, the headline would read “[Name] fell from window and is yet another random victim in the string of freak window-related fall deaths.”

        If I’m playing it’s more like “String of Bizarre Accidents Leave 16 Dead at Mar-A-Lago, Including President”
