I think that is the only rational conclusion. Trump needs to hire some really hard core ex SEALs as close personal protection and he should do it tomorrow. The SS is completely compromised.

Absolutely. Can’t believe he hasn’t already done so.

As Bongino has said, the Routh assassination attempt was not a ‘success’ from a SS service standpoint since the attacker got within the proscribed protective dome that surrounds Trump. Bongino says the Routh arrest is not time for a victory lap by the SS. A successful job from a SS standpoint is to prevent would be attackers from entering the protective dome, which again, Bongino says the outer band is a thousand yards, 360 degrees around, and above, and below the protectee. In Butler and West Palm the SS failed, and nothing but Divine Intervention saved the day. That golf course fenced area on the fifth and sixth green was notorious for being used to spy on players on the golf course, yet for 12 hours it was left unchecked. Just like the roof at the Butler rally, the only conclusion to reach is that a conscious decision was made not to cover these obvious line of sight vantage points, which left them wide open to snipers.

Don't tell that to Acting Director Ronald Rowe. He's been bragging about the wonderful job done by the USSS.

He strikes me as an apple polisher of the highest order (polishing Mayorkas' apples that is).

JD Vance said that when Trump called him to tell him about the second attempt he asked the President if he was OK mentally and Trump said he was just pizzed because they didn’t let him finish his birdie putt. 😆

And...the snipers knew exactly where to go to exploit these LOS points.

That's some random good luck right there.

Bongino agrees. He says there has to be at least one mole in the SS.
