On July 13, 2024, President Donald Trump was shot in the head after a shocking series of security failures that can only be described as reckless, baffling, and utterly inexcusable. These weren’t just random slip-ups—they were cascading, preventable errors that scream incompetence at best and gross negligence at worst. And THIS is the response?

Six Secret Service agents tied to the security breakdown have been “disciplined.” If you can call it that. They’ve been suspended without pay for as little as ten days. Ten days. You’d get a stiffer punishment for showing up late to jury duty. At most, one agent will be off the job for 42 days—a little over a month. That’s not accountability. That’s a forced summer vacation.

Let’s get this straight: the Secret Service—the elite agency whose entire mission is to protect the President of the United States—failed catastrophically during an assassination attempt. And we’re not talking about hindsight speculation. They were warned about an unsecured rooftop. Civilians reported seeing someone on that roof before the shooting even started. One witness reportedly even alerted a security officer. Still, Trump was left exposed for nearly 90 seconds after the first shot was fired. That’s not a reaction delay—that’s a failure to act when it mattered most.

Meanwhile, a Senate report confirmed that the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was able to fly a drone within 200 yards of the rally, use a rangefinder to calculate the distance to Trump’s podium, and bring not one but two explosive devices to the site—all within an hour of the speech. So yeah, just another peaceful, rule-following attendee with a drone, bomb parts, and a sniper rifle.

Oh, and it gets worse. According to multiple investigative sources, Crooks had previously come to the attention of federal law enforcement for suspicious behavior involving technology equipment. This wasn’t some unknown lone wolf. The man had a trail—and yet somehow still managed to get himself into position, undetected, with a perfect line of sight to shoot the leading presidential candidate in the skull.

And after all that? The punishment was decided internally by the Secret Service. No external review. No independent oversight. No DOJ investigation. The same agency that blew it is the one handing out the wrist slaps. That’s like letting the getaway driver write the police report.

Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn tried to assure the public by saying, “We’re not going to fire our way out of this.” No kidding—you’re not firing anyone at all.

He also promised to “fix the deficiencies” and improve training and communication. Great. Maybe next time they can try the radical strategy of listening when someone points out a guy with a gun lurking on a rooftop.

Let’s not forget, this is the same agency that has repeatedly embarrassed itself over the past decade. In 2014, a man literally jumped the White House fence and made it inside the building. In 2011, shots were fired at the White House, and the Secret Service didn’t notice for four days. Then there was the little matter of agents hiring prostitutes in Colombia while on assignment. This isn’t a one-time fluke—it’s a culture of failure being brushed off as bad luck.

This isn’t about demanding blood—it’s about demanding accountability. If this had happened in any private-sector job, heads would roll. But in our bloated federal bureaucracy? You fail to protect a former President and you get… unpaid leave.

We’re also supposed to believe this was all just a tragic coincidence. They were warned about the roof. Civilians saw the shooter. He flew a drone, used high-end tech to scout his target, brought bombs—and the Secret Service kept Trump on stage like a sitting duck. At the same time, a year later, we still don’t know anything about the shooter’s motivations. No manifesto. No online footprint. Just silence.

Many Americans see this Sunday’s anniversary as more than just a reminder of a horrible attack—it was a chilling moment that suggested the so-called Deep State would go to terrifying lengths to stop Donald Trump from winning again. And now, with this whitewashed punishment handed down behind closed doors, it’s just more fuel for those fears.

The American people aren’t stupid. They see what’s happening. And they’re not going to sit quietly while the people tasked with protecting the President are allowed to skate by after nearly letting him die on their watch.
