On July 13, 2024, someone tried to assassinate Donald J. Trump. Was the shooter’s opportunity to fire multiple shots a result of security ineptitude or something more sinister?

TNA’s editorial members weight the two scenarios. They also look at other important aspects of the shooting, such as the media’s response, and traps to watch for going forward.
