I don’t believe anything Trump’s government says.
Carroll said investigators believed the suspect was armed with a shotgun, a handgun and knives. He also said the suspect was believed to have been a guest at the hotel.
It amazes me that there has been four (I think?) close-ish attempts on this man’s life in the last decade, three in the last two years, and things like this still get through.
It’s almost like it’s planned in advance, and that the secret service is letting these people through on purpose. Aww shucks, what do I know? I’m just a guy with two functioning eyeballs…
Get those ratings back up!
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.
There’s a reason they replaced him with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Trump was simply too inept.
You’ve got to imagine that by this point some people are just letting stuff slide in the hopes of just getting it over with already.
Guy thinks he’s Jesus, i doubt he’s got the tightist security
I can imagine the Netflix special feature film presentation of “The last dinner! - a last souper avenged!”. Three years prior, the guy is planning it all out "…what a fool! Ofcourse! A knife! No, wait! Several knifes! OK that’s settled then… Its a dark comedy. Will be, I’m sure.
I hope that all those media people who were at the dinner realize that we don’t give a shit about their safety either. They’re all part of the same corrupt oligarchic project.
But DC is the safest city in the US
