“There’s an untrue assertion that a member of the former president’s team requested additional resources and that those were rebuffed,” Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesperson for the Secret Service, said last Sunday, the day after the shooting.
I am pleased they are beginning to tell the truth.

The solution is obvious, President Trump will just have an elite and totally efficient security detail culled from the best & the brightest Law Enforcers on the Planet and have the United States foot the bill. Such a force would be totally beholden & loyal to President Trump, and him alone.

Won’t that be nice?

The only part of this that is a partisan issue is the choosing of unqualified people. Security is for Democrats and Republicans, and people should have already been removed for the horrific failures. A shooter on a white roof so close to President Trump for so long, despite the CS team and all electronic surveillance, whether from drones or helicopters, is beyond belief. Then they failed to protect Trump. After Trump ducked down they should have completely covered him and kept him covered as they evacuated him.

Isn’t it your side who keeps telling us how bad government is at doing things?

This should be vindication of such views, but somehow you’d like for the Secret Service to be “better” for some reason?
