Unfortunately, Sam has become religious. His new "Miracle of the Shrapnels" sits alongside his prior "Parable of the Babies in the Basement" as part of his developing canon.
Sam Harris claims it would be more believable that Trump was hit by a piece of shrapnel from a teleprompter at the first assassination attempt. X user @Brick_Suit took a photo of the teleprompters after the attack, showing them completely intact.

There are guys out there. Guys who just quietly make something of themselves, and attract a great woman, and have a whole bunch of kids. And then spend the rest of their long, quiet, contented lives being fiercely devoted to their grateful kids and their dozens of grandkids.

Game journalism tends to be extremely hostile in general, but I think it all stems from their naive little desires to politically change the world through their games writing.
