Closest rooftop is unsecured plus there’s a fucking ladder? No social media presence for a 20 year old leftist? They magically can’t get into his phone?

What is the point of killing a 78-year-old obese man, who I'm sorry to say will die naturally soon enough - make him a revered martyr and God-like figure to tens of millions?
And if you're going to engage in such a high-stakes assassination attempt, why would you pick a guy who is so bad at it that 1 of his 8 (reported) bullets graze the guy's ear? Surely, as much as it is a bad to murder him, it's far worse to try and then fail.
Don't get me wrong. I don't put this past the deep state. I'm not saying they're too good and noble to do this. I'm saying they're too smart to do it. If it turns out that they're not smart, so much the better.
While your first paragraph is retarded because it's obvious what they stand to gain in the short-term, you're right about the deep state being more competent than this. Besides no social media presence? Locked phone? Those are absolutely squandered opportunities to steer the narrative. I don't think they'd be so wasteful.
Having worked as a federal contractor, I have some serious doubts about the notion that the government is competent in anything other than sporadic fits that cannot be planned around.
Considering that Trump got nothing accomplished in his first term that went against the Deep State, in their position, I would try to manage Trump rather than go to war with him. Hell, I'm pretty sure he would be in a worse position if they had not tried to sabotage him at every turn.
A president's second term is almost always a failure, or at least a disappointment. It won't be different for Trump. He likely won't get much accomplished as a lame duck, let alone when it goes against the Deep State. Now, weighing that against the downside of making him a martyr for all the ages, a new Gracchus who will inspire people 83 years from now? In their position, I'd prefer a Trump presidency 10 times over.
The people calling him the "end of democracy" would try to manage Trump instead of going to war right?
