Whenever a high profile name comes out we can see massive security arrangements. It is next to impossible for anyone to reach them. Despite this, a failed assassination attempt was made.
Everyone is talking about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump at an election rally. After 1981, a President or presidential candidate was attacked. The shocking incident raised several questions on the credibility of the United States Secret Service which takes care of providing security to political leaders and their families.
Usually, the United States Secret Service is known for its accurate security arrangements. One thing is that Donald Trump is not the serving President and his security would not be of the same scale as Joe Biden.
But his security should be strong enough which did not happen. The security would consist of different wings. While one wing saves the leaders the others look at the possible attacks and external attacks like shooting and others.
Despite this, the shooters brought a weapon and reached the rooftop. The security arrangement was such that he could injure Donald Trump’s ear. If not for Donald Trump moving his head the impact would have been disastrous.
A few reports say that some attendees of the rally saw the shooter being suspicious of his actions. A few even alerted the officials reportedly. Despite this, the shooter reached the roof and aimed at Donald Trump.
Even after alerting the security officers did not take Donald Trump to safety. Moreover, the shooter went too close to the former President. Many wonder how this happened despite the presence of the security officials.
Experts say that there was no 360-degree protection for Donald Trump and the officials did not have briefcases that can be used to protect if any emergency occurs. All these issues are being highlighted by experts raising several questions.
