The United States Secret Service can no longer be trusted to protect Donald J Trump...Please Change My Mind.
🖕TREASON! 🖕
Who can be trusted?
They did as soon as he went into his shooting position.
If they knew he was not law enforcement, they should have taken the shot.
I don't know what they knew,or we're told.
We don't know their rules of engagement, SOP, whatever. From what happened, it is logical that they were not permitted to shoot first.
It will come down to the first failure: not securing a location with direct line of sight on POTUS.
No other failures would have been relevant if that hadn't happened.
Every wet-behind-the-ears 2LT from ROTC knows that.
Every experienced NCO and Officer knows that.
You control the high ground. With boots on the ground (and they did not have to climb up Hamburger Hill or Point de Hoc under fire to take control of that roof! Just station ONE LE on that roof! There was no cost and no risk to controlling that roof!) You control it with observations (no drones or helicopters?) You control it with suppressive fire (air, artillery, counter snipe). You control it.
You nailed it: They did NOT secure a location with direct line of fire on POTUS!
WHY NOT?!?
At least 2 witnesses saw the man on the roof and notified police or SS and NOTHING WAS DONE for 2-3 minutes. Inside job.
