If it was real then US has some serious security issues. But in the era of thermal drones and scopes and many other digital tools for identifying treats, it is clearly impossible and absolutely dumb to try to do this assassination the way it was done. We live in the era where tools allow you to execute your intention with almost zero chance of failure. Yet here we have a guy in the 200 meters distance, and all SS despite all peoples calls never seen the shooter up until the moment shots are done? I have never been a fan of conspiracy theories, but here there is no conspiracy, it is poorly played act. The fun fact is, that people will eat it and ask for more. But to be fair  it is not only US that is in the state of political crisis, half of the world is.
