His own VP called him "an American Hitler", so....
So…. are you going to follow up this post with how Vance has more recently said he was wrong about Trump?

I appears I disagree with you.

It's estimated the second would be assassin was 300 yards from Trump.

Before Trump is exposed to the wild the SS is responsible for securing the area. This means making sure any and every position that Trump can be shot from is secured.

Clearly, they didn't bother, it's a miracle this was stopped since it appears nothing more than dumb luck the shooter was even spotted. (All praise, glory and honor be to God)

So my question is, is the SS just going to let every dangerous terrorist take shots at Trump until November?

Taking shots at Trump appears to be sport at this point. Is there a betting pool going at the SS or what?

When are they going to ACTUALLY do their job?

What are they getting paid to neglect their duties?

Well, I don't think you fully appreciate the challenge of protecting an individual on a gulf course with fairways withing shooting range of public roads and access areas.

Sheriff Bradshaw said that Mr. Trump — one of the most polarizing figures in the world — still retains a protective detail that is smaller than the one given to a sitting president. That, he said, limits the protections that the Secret Service and its local partners can provide.

“At this level that he is at right now, he’s not the sitting president — if he was, we would have had this entire golf course surrounded,” Sheriff Bradshaw said.

“But because he’s not, the security is limited to the areas that the Secret Service deems possible,” he added, while praising the service’s fast response. “So I would imagine that the next time he comes at a golf course, there’ll probably be a little bit more people around the perimeter.”


....I suggest the Congress step up and provide more resources to the Secret Service.

I see Mr Trump is wasting no time in laying blame:

Former President Trump said President Biden and Vice President Harris’ "rhetoric" is what is causing him to be "shot at," following the second assassination attempt against him since July, while telling Fox News Digital that the suspected gunman "acted" on "highly inflammatory language" of Democrats.

"He believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it," Trump said of the gunman in an interview with Fox News Digital. "Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country, and they are the ones that are destroying the country — both from the inside and out."

I don't think you appreciate the fact that if we can give billions of dollars to illegals, give them our jobs and homes using our nations last dime; if we can give hundreds of billions to unnecessary wars of conquest against the will of the voters; if we can give billions upon billions in foreign aid -

Then we can certainly afford properly securing my Presidential candidate and former President of these United States no matter what he would enjoy doing or need to do.

If we cannot protect him we aren't even a country.

The SS could gave closed off the entire golf club. But Trump owned the golf club. He'd lose money. He'd lose business.
The SS might have closed it, but Trump chose his revenue stream over precautions.
And, as has been said before, based on overwhelming evidence, Democrats say Trump threatens Democracy and tells people to vote.
Telling people to vote means encouraging democracy--for honest people with pure hearts.

This is very true. But it’s not so much the people saying ‘Mr Trump made me do it’ and other people saying ‘Mr Trump knows that morons will do moronic and dangerous things when Mr Trump eggs them on’.

Mr Trump knows that people are easily swayed and uses that to his advantage and to the detriment of America.
Yes, that’s true, but he’s only responsible for his own actions.

I do understand what you are saying, especially since he is in a position of power. Or former power.

I thought it was because he could strangle people from across the room.
Mr Trump cannot use the Force. Although to be fair he has been adjudicated to have used force in his sexual encounters.

Thou shall not bear false witness.
Why not?
I didn’t bear false witness. What are you talking about? People only reacted to what Mr. Trump said.

Actually I"ve seen the clips of him doing it, always seems to be more then strangling themselves, sure you could pretend it's them trying to clutch their throats to breath, but thats just left propaganda!.

To be fair he was never convicted, they didn't have evidence of a crime. They had to take it to civil court in front of a biased judge to score "smear the presidential candidate we don't like" points in the media.

So there's that.

I think we all just need to remember that "shootings are just a fact of life" in the U.S.

It's over now. We need to "get over it" and move on. I mean, it's not like the guy could have been stopped by any kind of legislatio... oh wait...

Also, the only shooting that actually occurred in this instance was secret service shooting at the guy with the gun through the fence.

The Secret Service wanted to close the golf course but Trump said no?
Do you have a link to that story?

That is the deepest unmitigated fabrication I have ever heard in my life. There is less proof of this as people eating cats.
