A former Secret Service agent who served in the security details of both Presidents Bush and Obama warned on Saturday that President Donald Trump “is not secure in the White House right now as it stands.” Dan Bongino, who was also an instructor at the training academy of the Secret Service, was commenting on Friday night’s reported breach of the White House complex, at least the seventh such incident in recent years.
Bongino stated: “If one guy with a backpack and Omar Gonzales with a bad knee could get near the residence of the White House, can you tell me with a straight face that a forty-man tactical assault team with heavy weapons wouldn’t take that place down?”
Bongino was referring to a 2014 incident in which Gonzales penetrated the north portico doors of the White House, reportedly brandishing a three-and-a-half-inch folding knife in a back pocket.
“This is inexcusable,” Bongino said of the latest incident. “How many of these are we, as the citizenry, going to tolerate, whether under Barack Obama or now President Trump, before there is enough citizen outrage that the Secret Service actually does something?”
Bongino is the author of the bestselling 2013 book Life Inside the Bubble: Why a Top-Ranked Secret Service Agent Walked Away from It All. He also previously ran as a Republican for Congress and the Senate.

There are a lot of former SEALS who would be excellent
Judging from that CNN camera shot of the White House window the other day I would say Bongino is 100% right.
Bump
I believe this. The Democrats are determined to assassinate Trump. It is of my opinion that will succeed at this, and they will celebrate in the streets, like when radical Muslims celebrate after they behead Christians. Same animal, same ideology
It’s a disgrace that Bongino wasn’t elected. But is is Maryland.
why is there a broken drone on the ground?
I believe there are numerous “former Special Operators” from different branches who would volunteer to protect President Trump; all supporters of President Trump, the CIC, who loves our military unlike the last bad joke.
Comments?
That camera lens could well have been something worse. There was a brain drain during the Imposter and it’s time to protect a real POTUS in these troubling times.
Sorry, but we have gotten to the point where anyone saying anything outrageous makes headlines.
A previous incident?
Nothing personal, but this is an example of when one person makes a wild claim and everyone repeats it.
Old lawyers saw: When you have nothing to say; don’t.
Also, certainly not calling for violence, but it was an old USSS saying that “Any man willing to die in the process could take out the president.”
Very sad, but probably true.
And also, how many of the radical leftist products of our so-called higher education system would think they were doing a wonderful thing, and would be forever lauded in history, for doing so.
An item for sad but serious thought.
Hope the windows in that camera shot are bulletproof. Otherwise a good sniper in the same position would be devastating.
A previous incident?
Yes — Watergate.
People went to prison and Nixon resigned.
He didn’t HAVE to, really, it was just that for the GOP there was A LIMIT to what they would tolerate.
And I posted the photos because I think this is the same thing:
Actually it’s much worse, this time.
I think a BUNCH of people need to go to JAIL.
It begins to look as if maybe elections don’t matter, that some people think it’s okay for the President to use the Intel Community to spy on a PREZ CANDIDATE, or maybe a PREZ ELECT.
WHOOPS! Wrong thread.
Yes, the drone was from a previous incident and I think that the biggest threat to the physical safety of this prez is from drones.
I think it’s a huge problem.
