This “pretend security”, just like democrat led lawfare, are both national disgraces. Trump should provide his own security, just like he provides his own legal defense. When I first saw him in 2015 he had his own security with him.

Augment with US Marines.
Just for information -— outer perimeter was covered by local police which also included Pittsburgh officers - keep in mind Pittsburgh is a deep blue city.

Congress has never authorized the funds for widespread security for political candidates. Presidents have heavy security because they’re Heads of State. Most security at these events is provided by state and local law enforcement, the governments of which then bill the campaign for.
