they were ladders on the building itself
Remember when Trump made the secret service take him on a joy ride when he was infected with Covid?
Definitely : in a situation like that, the person being shielded by the secret service is supposed to follow their instructions to the letter, as they are the professionals. Trump's ego is so huge though that he effectively took over and treated 'them' like minions….it was all about him and his ego.
yep, that was ridiculous, proves the guy is a complete narcissist. Putting more people in potential danger, over a pair of shoes. A female secret service agent had his hat in her hand, the same hand she’s using to try balance and get down the steps and stumbles a bit at one point…
Think of the mindset, “ I’ve just been shot, there are dozens of people here literally putting their lives on the line to protect me, but my shoes and my hat and gesturing.. breaking cover and making myself a target again are more important to me than getting the fûck out of here pronto, getting safe and keeping everyone else safe. “
A rubbish narcissistic human being and if proof was ever needed.
But if they were hunkering down behind the podium until they got the 'shooter down' message anyway, does this stuff really matter? I suppose it's to protect him from a theoretical second shooter but if you that's a serious risk should they not be waiting on the floor until there's some sort of screen put up between him and the car?
The base of of the podium is reinforced bullet proof steel. Trump did exactly what he was trained to do, Drop!
When the secret service is given the order to evacuate the protectee speed is better than profection. If they have to hurt the protectee doing it so be it.
Unknown: “What are we doing? What are we doing?”
Agents: “Are you ready? Hold, hold! On you! Ready, move! Move! Go!”
Agents: “Hawkeye’s here! Hawkeye’s here!”
Agents: “Are you ready? Are you ready?”
Agents: “Are we good? Shooter’s down!”
Agents: “Shooter’s down! Are we good to move?” Agents: “We’re clear, we’re clear!”
Agents: “Come on, sir, come on.” Trump: “Let me get my shoes. Let me get my shoes.”
Agents: “I got you, sir; I got you, sir.”
Trump: “Let me get my shoes.”
Agents: “Hold onto your head, it’s bloody.”
Agents: “Watch out. Wait, wait, wait.”
Once the order to move was given he should have been dragged off stage to the car.
A police sniper team was inside the building when Trump was shot.
Hillary Clinton didn’t give a concession speech to thank those that worked on her campaign the night she lost. It was considered very poor form not to at least thank those that worked on your campaign for free. The left have completely blown the Trump thing out of all proportion, apparently now he’s Hitler. The more these accusations are thrown around the less they mean. We’ve seen it here in Ireland too, everything is far right then nothing is, so it’s lost all meaning.
Are you trying to say somebody not making a concession phone call on the night of the election is the same as somebody not accepting the results of the election 4 years after the fact (and instigating an attempted coup to overturn the results of the election)?
When the secret service is given the order to evacuate the protectee speed is better than profection.
I get that's the official protocol but it doesn't make much practical sense to me in the actual scenario that unfolded here. If there's another shooter in the crowd waiting to open fire when he cataches sight of Trump again, what difference does it make if they wait 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 2 minutes? Could you not argue that waiting a bit longer gives more covering snipers the chance to get into position, get their eye in properly etc.?
He shouldn't have.been on the blooming stage if Secret Service were doing their jobs! 2 minutes before the shots people were shouting about the guy in the rooftop
….
She didn’t thank her staff that worked on her campaign on the night she lost, it was considered very poor form. Trump was disputing the results of the count, which I think is pointless as it still would have been disputed when it was that close anyway by the opposition. Presidents alway achieve less in their second term too.
Yeah well apparently it's not enough he nearly had his head blown off by some lunatic for the lads in here apparently he is Hitler.
Head of Secret Service and of the details that day needs to resign if below is true
Which is kind of why security is so poor at his rallies - its almost impossible to deal with every security possibility if the main person on stage is determined to run events like this in this way, and then hugely backs easy access to guns to the point where open carry is the norm in many parts of America
Crazy stuff outside the RNC with a crossbow and wishes Trump dead. Should be arrested on the spot
Crooks had Trump yard signs

I hear Crooks had a pack of Top Trumps cards as a kid so he's definitely a Trump supporter, he liked him so much he wanted him stuffed and mounted in his living room.
you gonna be okay there?
Did a 20 year old have his own place? haha come on try harder.
The picture of Matthew you would know he is a demacorrupt.
Conspiraloons - So whats the conspiracy then? All orchestrated by the dems I guess?
I think so.
Have we found a water tight means of blaming this shooting on "the right" yet?
Sure what if someone has an explosive, what if 2 shooters storm the stage, what if what if?
The protocol is to haul ass and remove the protectee from the danger as soon as the order is given.
This is what happened here, after Trump insisted on putting on his shoes and posing for pictures.
The conspiracies were coming from the left in the immediate aftermath
Or is that "healthy scepticism" when people you agree with do it?
Who said I agree with them?
Crazy stuff outside the RNC with a crossbow
It's an open carry state, she could be carrying a military grade rifle if she wanted.
Is this crazy stuff?
He was shot in the ear .we have numerous news reports from various sources and there was coverage on sky news nbc live from the event and interviews with people who saw the shooter on the roof .
Theres no way this was setup by trump as some kind of false fake assassination attempt
Theres video of the assassin on the roof before he shot trump
Has it been confirmed anywhere that the shooter was seen and in the crosshairs of the secret service for 3 minutes prior to him opening fire?
As far as I was aware this was only claimed on some random forum by a user claiming to be the secret service marksman.
The alternative theory is that it was clearly set up by the left, or antifa, or the democrats or someone like that to take Trump out. Apparently with the very transparent cooperation of the secret service.
And they picked some young kid who was a terrible shot to do it.
Secret service director said the reason no one was on the roof is because it was sloped and so was a safety concern.
