President Biden said Sunday he is “grateful” Donald Trump is doing “well” after surviving an assassination attempt Saturday night, speaking about the need for “unity” during this time.
The president said he spoke with the Secret Service and directed them to provide Trump with every “resource” of protection given the shooting, and to monitor security at the Republican National Convention.
“I’ve directed an independent review of national security at yesterday’s rally to assess exactly what happened and we’ll share the results of that independent review with the American people as well,” Biden said, speaking at the White House.

Did Prez Biden really call for a bullseye to be put on Prez Trump in fundraising phone messages to big time donors?

Right. Has anything ever come out of this clown's mouth other than a pack of lies? Now he wants to make himself and his corrupt gutter administration the 'humanitarian'. FJB, you are done. The election is over. No one wants to see you senile moron any longer. This was a 3AM call. Anyone notice the sweaty feeble face of this 'commander' of nothing? As the black Shirley Temple liar said, he has a team for that. The condescending cow does not quite understand that a team was not elected to make decisions. How about the remarks on the assassination attempt of Donald Trump. What a POS!

The Junta needs to do their best to “sanitize this for their protection..”
It isn’t going to work. We saw what happened. We know that sniper’s perch was unprotected. We know the USSS sniper failed to return fire until the assassination shots were fired.
We also know that they are gaslighting the assassin’s “story” to implicate Republicans, in a very limp wristed way.
This was and is an inside job.

I skimmed the article, didn't see any "increase in SS" covered. If I missed it....what go from 10 total to 11 total agents or what?

OK....vague as hell.
FTA:
"The president said he spoke with the Secret Service and directed them to provide Trump with every “resource” of protection given the shooting, and to monitor security at the Republican National Convention."
And watch Mayorkas countermand this by a phone call limiting support for Trump.

Maybe a drone team for overwatch? Agents older than 20? Extra sniper/spotter teams? a "Beast"?(and a cargo plane to haul it)

I would trust that. At this point, Trump might be safer with private security.

I really don't think this was an "inside job" (not that the dems aren't capable of an assassination) they are, but why trust it to a 20 year old nerd? They may be incompetent but I don't think they are THAT incompetent. More like their Hitler,Hitler hate rhetoric prompted a loon to think he was doing the world a favor to assassinate Trump.

That's nice. Biden isn't running the Whitehouse. Nothing has changed. The hate filled messages will continue, looking for fertile minds to carry out their wishes. Don't be surprised if more attempts are made on Trump. Lots of hate out there. Just as the powers behind the Whitehouse wanted.

You know it's all lies when you read this part:

Thanks,#12. You are exactly right.
Inadequate resources, excessively restrictive ROEs, and DEI incompetence and more interest on what's between an agent's legs than what's between an agent's ears is all contributory.
I hold Mayorkas and Cheatle the most diectly responsible.

Can't he hire Mossad soldiers or whatever they are? This would not have happened otherwise.

How about less? Like one combat vet for the 2 women SS, and one combat commander for whoever was supposed to be in charge at Butler. Pretty sure THEY would establish who was responsible for air, grounds and crowd control. Maybe spring a couple of bucks for secure headsets, drones and checkpoints.

Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.
The SS screwed up. If this had happened 30 years ago, the director would have submitted her resignation by now. Instead, she is in hiding and no one has heard from her.

Its time for Pubbies to provide protection for our President... ANY government employee is substandard by the very nature of "Gov't Employee".
Competent people work outside of Government. I'll bet it would be easy to get 1000 AR armed patriots to surround DJT at all times!

Seriously, can anyone trust Biden to order competent, unbiased persons to investigate these matters? They would simply say, "Nothing to see here. Move on."

If Trump had a up to snuff Secret Service detail assigned by the Biden crew why would the detail have to reinforced now as the threat was always there, especially since Biden publicly has said on national TV recently “that it is time to put Trump in the bullseye”? Common sense will tell you that when Biden makes comments and remarks like that, a percentage of the violent “nut job” class out there listens, with such remarks putting Trump’s life in danger. Today we see there was no way around that!

Was that before or after the fbi removed any evidence that might lead back to the lying. scheming dirt bag in the WH who just hours before stated that Trump has to be in the bull's eye. Now the little @rick less wonder man is so 'companionate'. Crying my eyes out. Need to get more Kleenex.

Trump should get restraining orders against the ss and hire his own people. Dan Bongino could do the hiring.
