DEI hires at the Secret Service, coupled with an entire political party that knows that it cannot defeat this man, and will do anything to stop him and thereby maintain and increase its power. ANYTHING! That’s how.
It is absolutely inconceivable to me that an open roof was allowed to exist only 125 yards from the speaker’s podium. That’s not an accident, in my opinion. Nor is it an accident that three of the Secret Service agents posted to Trump’s personal security are women who are a head shorter than he is. When you couple his head being open for a shot with the availability of such a short shot, that is not an accident. Thank God that Trump turned his head at just the right moment, otherwise he would be dead, and this country would be in complete turmoil. Also, thank God that there was not a second gunman, because if there had been, I think it likely that there would have been a successful assassination, given the incredibly slow and ineffective protection around Trump.
Since I was a little kid in the late 1960s, I have always noticed that the Secret Service agents around a president are generally at least as tall as he is, if not significantly Taller, simply to not just conceal the exact place where the protect is located, but also to be able to provide physical cover in case another shot comes in his direction. That was completely lacking here, and there is no excuse possible, not given the normal practices of the Secret Service for many decades.
I agree. I thought the Secret Service was slow on physically covering Trump and appalled that they let him expose his head. I could not believe what I was seeing.
