Excellent. The merit system works again.

Senate confirmation hearings will be interesting.............

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

Wonderful! I hope he gets rid of the short gals who can’t draw their weapons!

And what happens to the 5’ 2” DEI housewife on Trumps other side? SS shoe polisher would work

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

[Soul of the South]

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.

Any repub not voting for him would immediately become a pariah

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

The questions being asked by the Dems will be loaded. If they even dare.....................

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.

Devil’s Advocate: To me, every one of them has the stink of failure on them. There was no one better?

[V_TWIN]

That’s the great thing about appointments....he will serve at the pleasure of the POTUS......if he Fs up he can be removed.

[MayflowerMadam]

“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.
