    Shakeri told the FBI that during an Oct. 7 meeting with his IRGC handler he was asked to provide a plan within seven days to kill Trump. If it could not be done in that timeframe, the IRGC would pause its plan to kill Trump until after the election “because IRGC Official-1 assessed that [Trump] would lose the election and, afterward, it would easier to assassinate [Trump],” the complaint said.

        And surprisingly about how difficult it is to kill him before the election.

        An incel with more acne than accuracy almost killed him. A professional team might have gotten it done.

          Hard to say. If the professional team is completely silent about it and not being watched by any three letter agency. Maybe.
          A lot easier for a random citizen that already owns a gun to have an easy attempt.
