A new report reveals shocking security failures before the attempted assassination of President Trump at his 2024 Butler rally. Former DHS advisor Charles Marino called it a “ticking time bomb,” exposing how the Secret Service ignored clear warning signs. This comes as six agents were suspended without pay for their role in the preventable tragedy.
The report shows intelligence about serious threats was dismissed. Secret Service knew Iran wanted revenge for Soleimani’s death and had beefed up Trump’s security weeks earlier. But they still picked a vulnerable venue despite local officials warning it couldn’t handle crowds safely.
Homeland Security investigators found the Secret Service “bureaucratic, complacent, and static.” Their own review admitted the shooting was “tragic and preventable” with “unacceptable security failures.” This incompetence left our president exposed to a terrorist.
Six agents got slapped with suspensions instead of being fired. They lost 10 to 42 days’ pay but kept their jobs. Deputies claimed firing wouldn’t fix the “root causes,” even though a firefighter died and Trump was grazed by a bullet.
Conservatives are furious at this weak response. The Secret Service failed monumentally but protects its own. They’re more worried about bureaucracy than guarding leaders. Patriots demand real accountability, not wrist slaps for endangering the president.
Hero firefighter Corey Comperatore died shielding his family from the assassin’s bullet. His sacrifice shows the human cost of government negligence. While snipers eventually killed the shooter, they were too late to stop the carnage.
This near-disaster proves Biden’s administration can’t protect America. With radical threats growing, we need leaders who take security seriously. Trump’s life was saved by inches—next time, we might not be so lucky.
America must overhaul security before it’s too late. We deserve a Secret Service that’s elite, not lazy. Patriots won’t tolerate more excuses while enemies plot against our leaders.
