I'm a former pro photographer as well, my last camera was a 1dx mark ii, and I mean this with all due respect but one 8,000th of a second is nothing with the anti-aliasing noise filters in the current rigs, and I'm still a decade behind with the equipment I'm describing. This is a well-lit daytime shot and I doubt you would see an ISO above 1,000 in the current rigs

No, the purpose of the photographer wasn't to capture solid, low noise, high quality pictures of the event. It was to capture 14 frames a second of Trump's head exploding. Bear that in mind.
