    I’d imagine that there are untold numbers of assassination attempts that are stopped early by the Secret Service that we never hear of.

    Most of the attempts on Trump have come at his rallies or from him golfing. Basically, I think he gives assassins way more chances than other presidents did because he doesn’t really do his job and just does a bunch of other things in public.

    So, it’s probably a game of numbers. He makes it easier for assassins to target him. His security team gets fatigued from overwork. He’s bound to have more close calls than presidents who actually follow the recommendations of their security detail.

      There’s also the possibility that Trump’s secret service detail may also be more inept over all. Like if you had to be around that dipshit 24/7 you’d need an all overriding sense of duty or have to be a sycophant to put up with him since I can’t imagine he treats any of them with respect and sycophants aren’t known for competency. Like all the competent guys are probably on other people’s detail, are on perimeter, or are doing currency shit.

        All of Trump’s political appointees have been completely inept, so who knows? It’s weird that a guy who hosted a show about finding the best apprentice to hire is maybe one of the stupidest people in the world when it comes to hiring.
