Incident Overview
President Trump was shot at during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. After being hit, Trump grabbed his neck and pumped his fist as the Secret Service helped him walk away to the ambulance.
Shooter and Immediate Aftermath
New photos allegedly show the deceased shooter on a rooftop adjacent to the president’s podium. Positioned to Trump's right, the shooter reportedly fired 8-10 bullets toward the rally. One Trump supporter was killed, and another is in critical condition. An eyewitness stated, “the Secret Service blew his [the shooter’s] brains out.”
Discrepancies and Security Concerns
However, discrepancies have emerged as video footage from the rally shows two Secret Service agents standing on the rooftop directly adjacent to where the shooter allegedly fired from. Before the shooting, concerned rallygoers had alerted authorities to a man crawling on the rooftop, but their warnings were apparently ignored. According to a witness who spoke to BBC, the Secret Service likely had this information. The live video feed from RSBN shows Trump being introduced at 6:04 PM EST, with two agents visible on the rooftop behind him on the same side he was shot. Their rooftop was at a higher elevation than the shooter’s, raising questions about how they missed him. Reports indicate the shooter was in clear view of Trump from a nearby structure, a location the Secret Service would typically secure and control before the event, adding to the suspicions surrounding the incident.
Political Implications and Allegations
The attempted assassination of Trump comes less than a week after Joe Biden reportedly told his elite donors that he needed to “put Trump in the crosshairs.” This raises the possibility that Biden might be signaling to the Secret Service and Trump's bodyguards to assist in the attack. A source familiar with Trump’s security detail told @FDRLST that the detail has been requesting enhanced protection and resources for weeks, but these requests were repeatedly denied by Biden’s DHS. The DHS, which oversees the Secret Service protective detail, "wasn’t responsive to those requests,” the source said. This raises questions about whether Biden’s administration was behind the attack or deliberately allowed it to happen. The Secret Service has a history of either complicity or massive incompetence, and far-left political elites have a long history of using violence to stop leaders who challenge their regime.
President Trump's Resilience
In light of the recent assassination attempt on President Trump, the incident underscores his resilience and determination. Trump's extraordinary qualities and perceived divine protection, despite the challenges, serve as an inspiration for Americans to uphold the nation. The Biden administration faces criticism for allegedly ignoring requests for enhanced security measures for the President.
