Ripple CTO Spots Donald Trump’s Extraordinary Luck To Escape Death

Addressing former US President Donald Trump’s unbelievable rescue from the recent assassination attempt, Ripple CTO David Schwartz released an article. Schwartz acknowledged Trump’s escape as a “tiny bit of extraordinary luck” following “multiple layers of spectacular failures.”

Failed Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump

Last week, during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the suspected assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired multiple shots at Trump. While Trump was shot in his ear, narrowly escaping death, one spectator was murdered, and two were critically injured. The President was soon taken by the security team for medication and reported to be safe within minutes.

Ripple’s CTO’s Analysis

According to Schwartz, there are only two explanations for the incident: incredibly bad luck or systematic failure. He elaborated on both possibilities, concluding that the incident is more likely to be a systematic failure.  

The Ripple CEO broke down a series of events that might have facilitated the assassin to execute his plans. The solid security plan might have been broken by the single bad decision to not block the particular sight line. The absence of policing, lack of communication between the police and the Secret Service, and many other minor mistakes could have kept the shooter unnoticed till he triggered his gun.

However, Schartz posited the possibility of these unfortunate events becoming the mere driver of the incident as unbelievable. Instead, he believes that the multiple layers of protective measures might have created a false sense of security, making the team carefree.

Further, he asserted that the team boasted an “upgraded security,” and it was their irresponsibility that led to the incident. He stated, “It would stun me if there wasn’t a long-running attitude of complacency and shoddy execution leading to a succession of gaps and vulnerability prior to this incident.”

Cardano Founder Laments over the US’ Political Degradation

Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson reacted to the events as a “tragic” incident that highlights the political degradation of the US. He condemned the shifting sense of politics in the country, where ideological disagreements even lead to wars and massacres.
