Staff Reports
A recent incident during an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump has left many scratching their heads—especially when a “small explosion” and an unexpected spray of hydraulic fluid turned a tense scenario into what resembled a slapstick comedy of errors. According to Dan Bongino, a top conservative commentator and former Secret Service agent, the chaos unfolded when a stray bullet hit a piece of farming equipment, sending hydraulic fluid flying, covering parts of Trump’s motorcade, and fumigating the situation with confusion.
The scene might have been more at home in a B-list action movie than a serious assassination attempt. A bullet ricocheted off the farm equipment, leading to hydraulic fluid splattering across vehicles in Trump’s motorcade like an unintended game of carnival spray. The incident, bizarrely enough, caused a cascade of confusion for security personnel, desperately trying to decipher whether they were under fire from a would-be assassin or suffering from an unexpected and misplaced explosion of farm machinery.
The would-be assassin, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, was promptly neutralized by a sharp-eyed counter sniper who pulled off a “one-in-a-million” shot. However, this explosion of hydraulic fluid and a captivating riddle about its origins somewhat stole the limelight. Was this explosion a crafty pyrotechnic ploy from Crooks, or merely a tactical blunder? As Bongino noted, the lost clarity led to a touch of vehicular panic for the Secret Service, making the entire ordeal look like a scene from “The Three Stooges” instead of a serious national security event.
Reports confirm that three weapons were utilized during this alarming affair, including shots fired by both Crooks and the Secret Service sniper. A third shot from a state law enforcement sniper team missed its mark entirely, which begs the question: were they busy dialing into the wrong extension during the chaos? It also doesn’t help that Crooks was initially spotted wandering the grounds months before the frightening episode with nothing more than a red flag—a recipe for disaster modeled perfectly in conservative critique.

Now, it’s important to note that the sniper who took out Crooks wasn’t the same one who gained a bit of fame through viral videos online. In fact, the sharpshooter was positioned a solid 400 yards away, leaving many to wonder why local law enforcement failed to maintain adequate watch on the event or anticipate this potential threat beyond what appears to be some sort of amateur hour. Crooks had even been noted as a “person of interest” hours prior; some poor soul lost the memo.
Bongino emphasized that the Secret Service finds itself mired in a public relations swamp, reluctant to point fingers at local law enforcement and vice versa. Both sides seem tangled in a delicately woven blame game, each side out of touch with good security awareness. Ultimately, the attempted assassination could have turned into a grotesquely humorous farce, but instead highlights a systematic failure that should raise eyebrows. It’s a wild ride for a country that already seems to be stumbling through enough chaos without a duo of bungling agencies turning a serious situation into a farcical misadventure.
