“Why wasn’t that spot closed off long ago?”
Yes. Supposedly back when PDJT was in his first term, SS told PDJT that he vulnerable because of what you said re paparazzi getting their best shots from that particular spot. If photogs can get a shot, so can assassins.
So SS has been aware for years, yet they don’t bother to give it special attention when POTUS is in the area.
Also, they need more agents on his watch. In a presser, somebody in authority (not Rowe — a weaselly pencil-neck jerk) said that Trump’s contingent was lower because he “isn’t a sitting president”. A journalist did some research and learned that Obama’s security detail is much more robust — maybe 3X more than Trump’s. Interesting that Obama also “isn’t a sitting president”.
I hope that these people burn in Hell for actively facilitating a murder.
Trump owns the golf course. Why didn’t he close off that paparazzi viewing point?
