I agree. It always amuses me when I see all the bodyguards around POTUS. If someone wants to shoot him, they will.

Yes, all it takes is a determined person with a grudge and harm comes in a lot of forms.
We see enough of it these days the way knife crime has developed and that's only one way
of being harmed!

That's happened in the past in America despite all the people around. Probably the one many will remember is President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in November 1963. That does seem such a long time since that happened – 57 years' ago!

It's like we often hear said of terrorists, "they only have to be lucky once, security forces have to be lucky all the time".
