(ReclaimingAmerica.net) – It took the Secret Service two assassination attempts to finally alert GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump that his current security measures at his golf courses are not enough to keep him safe without significant upgrades.
A report indicated that it was Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe who delivered the news to Trump, highlighting the need for better resources and coordination.
This ongoing security dilemma has frustrated Trump’s team, as they compared the evident double standard involving Joe Biden.
While Trump is constantly under threat, the Democrat seems to enjoy more relaxed outings with robust security even in public settings like beaches in Delaware.
The difference in security measures has sparked a broader debate about the level of protection afforded to former presidents, especially those with high public profiles and recent serious threats against their safety.
The concern arises as Trump’s team has been increasingly vocal about the former president’s safety.
This comes especially after a close call at his West Palm Beach golf club, where an intruder rocking an SKS assault rifle was discovered hiding in bushes nearby.
This incident, coupled with another assassination attempt in July, has intensified calls for improved security.
During a tense meeting at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club, Rowe pointed out the challenges of protecting golf courses located near public areas.
He suggested Trump take his golf outings to a more secure location, such as the military course at Joint Base Andrews.
The frustrations not only come from recent threats but also from repeated requests for additional security over the past two years.
Trump’s team has asserted that the former president had repeatedly asked for enhanced security measures over the years before the first assassination attempt, only to be denied due to alleged resource constraints.
After discussing these security concerns with Joe Biden, The Democrat agreed that more support would be provided but only if Congress provided more funding.
Trump and Biden held a phone conversation right after the Republican narrowly escaped another assassination attempt.
This time, Secret Service agents spotted and fired at the assailant before the former president could be harmed.
