Damnit, Secret Service, you had three jobs.

Some are Opining Trump should hire Blackwater or some other Merc Group for his Security.

I am thinking company sized group of EX Delta / SAS Operators with Rangers and Green Berets




* Company as in US Infantry or Marine

Secret Service on Trump's 2nd Assassination Attempt​

 

[TPD]

Is this similar to if you you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. If you like your SS protection you can keep your SS protection.

Or is this more like school choice/security choice - let me choose my own security detail but the government must reimburse me for it since they can't provide the proper security.

Well Trump didn't get shot, so compared to the last attempt, this one was a rousing success. Of course, getting lucky enough to spot the guy, not sure that's what we want as the example. And letting him escape so that only a bystander taking a couple of pics meant he was caught, that's not top tier stuff either, IMO.

Not blaming the agents here. They can do what they can do with the resources allocated.

I don't think anybody in blaming the agents onsite. Once again it's a failure of SS leadership. Like the PB Sheriff said, if Trump was the sitting President, the security level (and not just SS) would have been notched up.

But since he is a former president AND already had an almost successful assassination attempt, shouldn't the security level have already been notched up?

You'd have thunk. You mean to tell me that while Trump was in the clubhouse getting ready to play, the SS or PBSD couldn't find an agent/deputy with a dog to walk the perimeter.

Is that where they assigned the blind agent and his seeing eye dog?

Obviously a DEI hire.
