You can see them really struggling with the cognitive dissonance in this moment.
Side note, but from a Telegraph article, I confess this made me chuckle:
Crooks tried out for his school’s rifle team but failed to make it because he was a “comically bad shot” and made jokes deemed inappropriate with firearms around, two former classmates told The New York Post.
He missed his target by close to 20ft, Jameson Murphy said.
“He tried out…and was such a comically bad shot he was unable to make the team and left after the first day,” he added.
I don’t know enough to comment either way, personally. I’ve heard from military individuals that 150 yard shot is pretty easy and they’re trained to peg human targets at 300-400 yards with iron sights with the same caliber. My guess is his adrenaline was going like crazy and he was shaking.

He clearly improved his game. Not being snarky, that was a fair shot with iron sights.

Not a hard shot at a stationary target but if you watch the video Trump turns just a moment before his ear is hit.
Im almost certain his turning to the crowd meant the difference between his ear being clipped and the back of his skull being blown out.
