Yes, Trump was shot in the ear, and I feel sorry for him. However, we must also remember that an innocent civilian was tragically shot and KILLED by the gunman. Our thoughts and prayers should be with all those affected by this incident.

The Year of the Snake has frequently been tumultuous for Russia. Revolutions in 1905 and 1917, collectivization & purges in 29, the war in 41, Stalin's death in 53, the collapse of the Communist Bloc in 1989. Perhaps the snake in the Kremlin is due for a dramatic change in 2025..
