President Trump announced Wednesday that he selected Sean Curran, one of the agents who rushed on stage during the Butler, Pa., assassination attempt, to serve as director of the Secret Service in his second term.

“Sean is a Great Patriot, who has protected my family over the past few years, and that is why I trust him to lead the Brave Men and Women of the United States Secret Service,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post.

Trump, 78, touted Curran’s 23 years of experience at the Secret Service and his work as assistant special agent in charge of the Presidential Protective Division during hisfirst term.

Not sure i like this. Those SS agents were WAY LATE on stage; Trump, at his age, reacted better than they did.

the bullet would have hit Trump before they heard it, he would of felt it and reacted before they even knew. They reacted very fast and also had to rush on stage

The skills required to lead and turnaround a large, lethargic, politicized, lunderperforming organization are very different from the skills required to protect the president at an event. Hopefully Sean Curran has the organizational leadership skills.

Federal DEI clowns days are numbered, they are done and gone! They are being replaced by solid citizens, patriots and Trump supporters.

Not happy with this. Apparently, he has been head of PDJT’s detail for many years. If so, he allowed the FBI to invade Mar-a-Lago.

Dan Bongino has said that Secret Service has authority over FBI in these situations, and SS did nothing to stop the invasion.

“he will serve at the pleasure of the POTUS......if he Fs up he can be removed.”

Normally. Except if THIS guy Fs up, Trump likely will be dead. The guy could be removed, but by Vance.

In that photo he and the other agents are putting themselves in harms way. At that point they didn’t know the extent of the threat. I’ll give him that.

She may have been inept, but that Special Agent did put her life on the line for the President as best she could.

Maybe she needs to be reassigned, maybe she needs better training, but IMHO she proved her loyalty to the mission and deserves something special.
