As if we needed more proof that the Biden administration can’t seem to get anything right, the recent revelations about the Secret Service’s failure during the July 13th, 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump are downright jaw-dropping. The agency tasked with protecting the president—or, in this case, a former president—had one job: keep Trump safe.
Yet, their incompetence left Trump injured, one man dead, and the rest of us wondering how on earth this could have happened in the first place.
We already knew things were bad, but with every new report, it just keeps getting worse. The attack in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt, should have been an open-and-shut case of the Secret Service doing what they’re supposed to do—protecting their principal at all costs. Instead, what we got was a series of blunders that read more like a bad comedy than a serious security operation.
And now, one of the most embarrassing failures has come to light: a Secret Service agent, in the heat of the moment, actually had to call a tech support hotline to figure out how to use a drone. Yes, you read that right—an agent tasked with protecting Trump had no clue what he was doing and had to phone in for help.
The Secret Service’s Utter Incompetence
The more we learn about the July 13th incident, the more it becomes clear that this wasn’t just a simple oversight or a one-time mistake. The Secret Service, under Biden’s leadership, has been plagued by inefficiency, underfunding, and a lack of proper training. This time, the stakes were life and death, and their incompetence cost a life and could have ended much worse.
From Fox News:
Among the key failures, an agent inexperienced with drone equipment called a toll-free tech support hotline for help after a request ahead of time for additional unmanned assets was denied, according to a preliminary summary of findings made public Wednesday. According to the committee, he had just an hour of informal training with the device.
Let that sink in. An agent protecting one of the most high-profile figures in American politics was given one hour of informal training with drone equipment, which could have been a critical tool in preventing the attack. And when it was time to act, instead of knowing how to operate the equipment, he had to call a 1-800 number for tech support. This is the Secret Service we’re talking about—not some amateur trying to fly a hobby drone in their backyard. It’s beyond unacceptable.
Instead, who was flying a drone over the area without any recourse for his actions? The shooter himself.
A Systemic Failure Under Biden’s Watch
What happened to Trump on that July day was tragic, but it’s not surprising when you consider who’s been running the show. The Biden administration has overseen the decline of so many federal agencies, and the Secret Service is no exception. Under Biden’s leadership, critical requests for equipment and additional resources were denied, leaving the agents on the ground unprepared and ill-equipped for the situation they found themselves in.
This goes beyond just one incompetent agent. The entire system failed Trump, who was shot in the ear, other Americans who were injured, and Corey Comperatore, who tragically lost his life. The simple fact is that this assassination attempt was preventable, and the loss of life should never have happened. But thanks to Biden’s continued inability to run the country effectively, here we are.
And let’s not forget that was a known threat, as they had been tipped off to credible threats. The fact that the Secret Service, the agency tasked with safeguarding one of the most recognizable figures in the world, couldn’t even get the basics right is both terrifying and infuriating.
What’s at Stake
This isn’t just about one event or one failure. It’s a symbol of a much larger issue within the Biden administration: a complete lack of accountability and preparedness. Whether it’s foreign policy disasters, domestic failures, or—now—basic security breaches, the Biden administration has been consistent in one thing: getting it wrong.
For all the blunders, Democrats like Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and their lackeys remain eerily silent. Where’s the outrage over how poorly the Secret Service handled this assassination attempt? You’d think that protecting a former president, a man with a very real and active threat against his life, would be priority number one. But, as always, the Democrats are more concerned with optics and pushing their progressive agenda than actually keeping people safe.
As Trump prepares to face Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, these failures only highlight the importance of strong leadership—something we’ve sorely lacked these past few years. It’s a reminder of just how much is at stake, not just for Trump but for the country as a whole.
Key Takeaways:
- A Secret Service agent protecting Trump during an assassination attempt had to call a tech support hotline after being denied proper drone equipment and training.
- This failure is part of a larger systemic problem under Biden’s leadership, which has seen federal agencies become increasingly ineffective and under-resourced.
- The assassination attempt, which left Trump injured and Corey Comperatore dead, was preventable, but the Biden administration’s failure to provide adequate support led to this tragic outcome.
