Donald Trump is facing some tough decisions after the latest Secret Service failure.
The agency failed its no-fail mission twice.
And a Navy SEAL stunned Donald Trump with this scary advice about the Secret Service.
Secret Service used flawed criteria for Donald Trump’s security
Former President Donald Trump faced his second assassination attempt in as many months at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh – a supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris – set up a sniper’s nest by a chain-link fence that runs along the sixth hole of the course.
Trump was 300 to 500 yards away when Secret Service agents opened fire on Routh after seeing his scoped rifle pointing through the fence.
Routh fled the scene and was arrested by authorities in Martin County, Florida.
The Secret Service foiled the plot before a shot was fired, but another failure raises serious questions about the embattled agency’s ability to protect Trump.
Representative Eli Crane (R-AZ) – a former Navy SEAL – warned that the Secret Service’s security priorities were flawed from the start during an appearance on the John Solomon Reports podcast.
“I think one of the problems with the security within the Secret Service is that they’re providing security based on people’s titles and not based on the threats that the individuals under their umbrella of protection have towards them,” Crane said.
Trump doesn’t receive the same level of Secret Service protection as President Joe Biden because he’s a former President.
“It’s clear as day to anybody that nobody has more threats to them than Donald Trump,” Crane stated. “So, [acting Secret Service] Director Rowe, you cannot keep hiding behind the fact that he’s not the acting President. He has more threats against him, clearly, than anybody in the country right now.”
Rowe demanded more funding after the second attempt on Trump’s life after previously saying that resources weren’t an issue.
Trump needs security that he would trust
One of the biggest questions about the second assassination attempt against Trump was how Routh knew that he was going to play golf that day.
Trump made a last-minute decision to play.
Routh walked across a busy road with a scoped rifle and waited for 12 hours, according to cell phone data, for Trump to cross his line of sight.
No one noticed for half a day.
Crane wondered if someone inside the Secret Service could be leaking information about Trump.
“I would advise the former President of the United States to beef up his private security detail that … I believe he has so that he can have watchers that are loyal to him watching the watchers, in case they are leaking stuff,” Crane said.
It’s an open question whether Trump can trust the Secret Service at this point.
U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) argued on Fox Business that the military and Navy SEALs should be used for Trump’s security after the latest attempt on his life.
Donald Trump is facing a scary situation with a Secret Service that’s proven it can’t keep him safe.
