.IT WAS ACTUALLY A sensational lapse in safety: exactly how carried out a sniper mount an unsecured rooftop with a direct view to Donald Trump, that was actually standing a mere 150m away? Based on online video footage, it looks like Mr Trump was millimetres from fatality-- saved through a blessed turn of the head an instant before Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old coming from Pennsylvania, fired at him. Scoundrels got rid of a rally-goer before being fatally fired themself.
