You're not walking into a presidential rally with short to medium range weapon, definitionally after two assassinations.
Feels more like a dumbass forgot to remove their weapons or "it doesn't apply to me" person. I would actually like to see someone look up how often this happens outside this year.
Yeah, this was never going to work with how they stepped up security now. He's got a giant bulletproof glass pane in front of him now, and they've probably expanded the security perimeter.
The guy that tried to get him while golfing probably had a better strategy, but it seems to me none of those ever thought things true.
100%
I just want more information on this.
If you believe the conspiracy theories saying the secret service is either farcically incompetent or actively turning a blind eye to assassination attempts, then you might actually think you can.
There is incompetency with secret service, just like every job.
The first assassination attempt they identified the shoots spot beforehand. Someone chose to go ahead anyway and not secure the location.
The second one was a mixture of Trump's ignorance and location. However, secret service found the guy before Trump was anywhere near.
This one was once again caught before he got anywhere near Trump. So it sounds like secret service is doing much better.
