I have a potential answer for this question, actually, and it's not that Trump's detail wasn't fully on-task or that they were neglecting their duties. If anything, the blame for this incident being allowed to happen is a result of the DHS failing to respond to or act upon the requests of Trump's security detail for additional agents and resources to be allocated to them.
TL;DR: The reason there weren't SS agents on every building is because Trump's detail simply doesn't have that many agents available, and not for a lack of trying to get them.
Assuming that's the case is it still prudent to even conduct the rallies? Trump can't spend the $$ for extra private security assets? I have more questions than answers on this one. None of this makes sense.
Trump isn't the kind of man who will cower in the face of this treacherous attack. Though there was a tragic loss of life, and this incident could have been prevented if the rooftop that was used had been properly secured, there is a silver lining:
The higher-ups in the Secret Service cannot afford to leave Trump's events improperly secured without coming under fire from non-RINOs in Congress, lest they undermine the agency's reputation in the face of scrutiny by the entire American public.
