That’s his story and he’s sticking to it.
So if it was “off the record”, how did the guy know about it in order to setup a hide 12 hours earlier?
Obviously, at least one person on the security team provided location and schedule information to the potential shooter, or someone on his team. We still have rats and snakes in the cellar.
It sounds like Trump tries to do a round almost every day, scheduled or not. That’s not a good enough excuse.
At who’s direction?
It seems God stepped in if the Secret Service is telling the truth about noticing a barrel sticking out of the brush. Normally, you wouldn’t stick a barrel out any until you are ready to shoot. And seeing the end of a barrel at that distance is very fortunate.
Woke , lazy and useless
Other than stand around and look the other way..what is it that the SS does?
The perp was found and arrested by LOCAL sheriff. Is this correct?
All part of the plan.
Find and groom a patsy.
Provide unsecured perimeter and safe passage to nest.
Allow shots to be taken.
Act surprised.
Admit the process failures short of participation.
Blame the victim.
Did I miss anything?
These people didn’t even bother to search the golf course treeline perimeter, you know where any possible assassin would be located.
In fairness to the Secret Service, this golf course has many slopes.

> the former president’s visit was an “off-the-record” plan <
It is evidently the job of the Secret Service director to explain failures using the least believable excuse possible.
How long would it take for a team of agents on carts to sweep the outskirts of the golf course? Maybe 20 minutes? Did they even start a sweep?
I have thirty-plus years’ experience of dealing with government employees across all levels of government and many offices. My impression is that if you could graph general competence then thirty years ago the average person, I dealt with was about like the average employee anywhere. But over time the “competence” meaning their ability to understand and to do their assigned job has been steadily going down. I suspect a lot of issues. Hiring for skin color or sex. Hiring because they are vets or some special category the agency is incentivized to hire. Also, they did away with IQ tests and competency exams. I would have thought that high priority jobs like Secret Service agents would maintain high standards. But laws passed by congress to do this or that with labor have a global effect. At this point how do you get from total incompetence back to competence? Laws forcing “discrimination” meaning discriminating against competent people because they don’t meet the other incentives like color, sex, religion, etc. would need to change. Can you imagine the outcry?
The flip side of the coin is that the people needed to create the Leftist Utopia aren’t competent to do that job. They think they’re the most amazing people in existence and they’ll tell you that. Remember Obama telling people he was the smartest guy in the room, and he could do all their jobs better than they could? Yep, enough people reported he said that multiple times that I believe he believes it. That’s the Dunning Krugger effect writ large. That’s the typical Lefty I see in government.
God gives. God takes. Thank God for small favors.

Was their “radar” down?
I'd fire this loser so fast his high and tight haircut head would spin.
This is so beyond incompetence its impossible to believe.
Any rational person with no security training would have had a team walk that fence perimeter prior to letting Trump on the course. Its just common sense.
Lets face it the SS is in league with the intelligence agencies to kill Trump.
All of the top level of the SS should be changed out tomorrow but we know that won’t happen.
If I were a trump I’d hire a bunch of ex navy SEALs because you can bet they would have searched that whole golf course before letting Trump out there.
