I attended a Trump Rally. I'm not going to say which one, but it was after Butler, PA on July 13.
One of my biggest concerns with the Trump assassination attempt in July was how horribly unprepared the Secret Service was for the event. It was so poorly planned, it just reeked of a planned security failure with the intent to murder Trump from poor security.
One of my first thoughts was, "Why doesn't Trump hire his own private security? He should hire a bunch of former Navy Seals or former operators. If the government can't or won't protect him, Trump needs to take matters into his own hands."
Well, frens, let me assure you that President Trump has done just that.
I noticed some guys that looked kind of official, but not official. They were standing in official areas, near Secret Service, police, and other security professionals. But they weren't government officials.
If you have ever seen the movie 13 Hours or movies that highlight special operators, one of the things you may notice about SpecOps guys is they like to wear full beards. They have many tattoos. And their arms are bigger than most people's thighs.
You take one look at them and you think, this guy could easily remove any threat in the room, practically just by looking at them. Well, these were those types of guys.
I went up to one and asked, "Are you guys private security?"
Yes sir.
A short while later, I went up to another one and I said, "I understand you are Trump's private security. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Trump needs you now more than ever."
And he said something I found quite interdasting.
It's our pleasure to protect him. After he wins this election, there are going to be a whole lot more of us working for him.
I hope the guys who spoke to you were an outside ( not meaning actually location ) layer of protection . I wouldn’t want the guys who are supposed to have their eyes and thoughts prorecting our President, talking to people , can u imagine how many people would approach and ask the same or similar question's, distracting them. The Rally’s are wonderful an experience that is incredible and something that will be carried in your heart and soul for the rest of your life…. History ! The best is yet to come .
For every ONE you see, there are 3 that you don't.
Obvious security is security. Unseen security is preventative.
Elon's security detail, contains both components; and I am relatively certain this is not a trade secret.
They are definitely an extra layer of protection. Definitely extra eyes and ears. There mannerisms were as strong as Secret Service and better. They engaged with the crowd before anyone came out and basically said, "These are the rules. You will follow these rules, or your ass is fucking grass." Paraphrasing to show intent.
At rallies there is lots of time before speakers show up, and way before the President shows up that there can be time for chatter and brief conversations. I certainly wouldn't be distracting anyone like this when officials are present, etc.
