Trump Vows To Continue Outdoor Rallies Despite Secret Service Reportedly Advising Against It

Former President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he will continue holding outdoor rallies despite the U.S. Secret Service reportedly advising him not to earlier this week.

In the aftermath of the July 13 assassination attempt on Trump, the Secret Service reportedly encouraged the former president to avoid holding outdoor campaign rallies altogether. Despite the Secret Service urging against it, Trump has vowed to continue holding the outdoor rallies in a post on Truth Social and said that the Secret Service will “substantially step up” their security detail going forward. 

“I WILL CONTINUE TO DO OUTDOOR RALLIES, AND SECRET SERVICE HAS AGREED TO SUBSTANTIALLY STEP UP THEIR OPERATION,” Trump said in the post. “THEY ARE VERY CAPABLE OF DOING SO. NO ONE CAN EVER BE ALLOWED TO STOP OR IMPEDE FREE SPEECH OR GATHERING!!!”

“Ensuring the safety and security of our protectees is our highest priority,” Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the Secret Service, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The gunman was able to take aim at Trump from a rooftop positioned just 130 yards from the stage, and he was reportedly spotted by witnesses and flagged by the Secret Service nearly an hour before the Republican nominee started the rally.

20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks shot at and wounded the former president, killing attendee Corey Comperatore and injuring Copenhaver and David Dutch, who are both in stable condition.

In the days following the assassination attempt, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and the agency as a whole faced a slew of backlash for security lapses as the rally. After providing an evasive testimony before the House Oversight Committee on Monday regarding the security failures on July 13., Cheatle resigned from her position the following day.

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle Resigns Amid Scrutiny Of Trump Assassination Attempt

U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned from her position on Tuesday after her evasive testimony before the House Oversight Committee on Monday, the Associated Press reports.

Cheatle resigned in the aftermath of the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, where 20-year old Thomas Matthew Crooks took aim at the Republican nominee from a rooftop 130 yards away, killing attendee Corey Comperatore and leaving other audience members injured, according to the AP. Cheatle’s testimony on Monday was met with an onslaught of bipartisan scrutiny citing major security lapses and resulting in widespread calls for her resignation.

“I take full responsibility for the security lapse,” she said in an email to staff obtained by the AP on Tuesday. “In light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that I have made the difficult decision to step down as your director.”

“The immediate reaction to her resignation is that it is overdue, she should have done this at least a week ago,” Speaker Mike Johnson said in a press conference on Tuesday. “Now we have to pick up the pieces. We have to rebuild the American people’s faith and trust in the Secret Service as an agency.”

“Jill and I are grateful to Director Kim Cheatle for her decades of public service,” President Joe Biden said in a statement on Tuesday. “She has selflessly dedicated and risked her life to protect our nation throughout her career in the United States Secret Service. We especially thank her for answering the call to lead the Secret Service during our Administration and we are grateful for her service to our family.”

“The independent review to get to the bottom of what happened on July 13 continues, and I look forward to assessing its conclusions,” Biden continued in the statement. “We all know what happened that day can never happen again. As we move forward, I wish Kim all the best, and I will plan to appoint a new Director soon.”

Cheatle and the USSS have attempted to explain away the security lapses, claiming that nobody was stationed on the “sloped” roof because it was unsafe. Other reports from whistleblowers contradict this claim, alleging that law enforcement had actually been stationed on the roof but that the individual “abandoned his or her post due to hot weather,” according to a letter from Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri addressed to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

“The buck stops with me,” Cheatle said in an interview with ABC News. I am the director of the Secret Service, and I need to make sure that we are performing a review and that we are giving resources to our personnel as necessary.”

“While Director Cheatle’s resignation is a step toward accountability, we need a full review of how these security failures happened so that we can prevent them going forward,” Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said in a statement on X. “We will continue our oversight of the Secret Service in support of the House Task Force to deliver transparency, accountability, and solutions to ensure this never happens again.”

Cheatle has served as the U.S. Secret Service Director since August of 2022.

The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Secret Service Lied, Trump Was Denied Protection

Every institution under Democrat control has been destroyed, ruined.

The shooting at Trump’s rally is the most stunning failure for the Secret Service in decades

Director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, must resign.

Secret Service Lied, Trump Was Denied Protection

By Nick Koutsobinas, Newsmax, 14 July 2024:

Sources close to former President Donald Trump told Public, Michael Shellenberger’s publication, that the head of Trump’s security detail had requested additional security resources but was denied by the director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle.

On Sunday, the Secret Service’s chief of communications, Anthony Guglielmi, posted on X that it was “an untrue assertion that a member of the former President’s team requested additional security resources & that those were rebuffed. This is absolutely false.”

“In fact,” he noted, “we added protective resources & technology & capabilities as part of the increased campaign travel tempo.”

However, multiple sources close to Trump say Guglielmi’s claim is a lie. The head of Trump’s security detail and the Secret Service agents who have been protecting him claimed that for months, they all made “multiple” requests for additional help, but Cheatle, whose agency falls under the Department of Homeland Security, headed by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, turned them down.

Notably, none of the sources who spoke with Shellenberger’s publication claimed or suggested that the security failure was deliberate. Still, one security expert had warned Trump directly that his detail was inadequate.

On Saturday, the New York Post reported that Trump’s security detail is far smaller than that of President Joe Biden’s.

The Secret Service Must Replace Politically Correct Estrogen With Testosterone

The Secret Service clown show is led by incompetent Director and woke feminist Kimberly Cheatle. She was appointed by installed Marxist Joe Biden and was not subject to Senate confirmation.

She reports directly to the corrupt Marxist Secretary of Homeland Security (Keep our borders open) Alejandro Mayorkas who frequently blocked requests from the Trump team to increase his security posture.

Kimberly Cheatle’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) vision is to replace 30% of the Secret Service by 2030 with short estrogen powder puff women wearing Homeland Security approved red lipstick, vice the powerful testosterone strength and unlimited energy of tall male security agents that were perhaps once trained as former Navy SEALs.

President Trump stands around 6 feet 4 inches tall and 3 of his DEI approved Secret Service female agents stood about 5 feet 3 inches tall making it impossible for them to shield his body as the designated bullet catchers.

The liberal Marxist fake media are criticizing Trump for standing up and fist bumping the sky showing the American people he was fine and still fighting for our Republic. His display of strength and intestinal fortitude has secured his place in history alongside General Patton and George Washington.

It was very apparent to us Americans and our enemies that the three female secret service agents protecting Trump had no strength to pull him to safety so he was exposed way too long to the unknown threat facing him.

The reason we could see Trump so clearly was the fact his 3 female DEI approved Secret Service agents even if they wore Lady Gaga style high heels could did not reach Trumps shoulder level making it impossible for them to smother his body to adequately protect him.

The female secret service agents continued to display their total incompetence to the world including our enemies as they could not even return their tax payer funded Glock G19 Gen Mos service pistols to their holsters correctly perhaps in fear of chipping a freshly manicured fingernail adorned with tiny stars and hearts.

The very scared females were very quick though to adjust their Ralph Aviator sunglasses without smudging their lipstick and eye shadow.

The do nothing Republican led Uni-Party has failed Trump even as they now plan to introduce a bill to enhance Secret Service protection for Biden, Trump and RF Kennedy jr. Always a day late and a trillion dollars over budget.

A do nothing Republican-led House Oversight Committee will also speak with Secret Service Director Cheatle on July 22nd 2024 regarding her massive security failure. Let’s see if she even shows up without a subpoena.

The Republicans will probably offer her warm milk and cookies to keep her calm. Right now though she is hiding at home in her Holiday Inn Express Bath-towel and Minnie Mouse socks under her desk adorned with photos of Biden and Obama fearful of a press conference.

The Republican led Congress should already be voting to defund her paycheck not hosting another waste of tax payer money funded oversight meeting.

As for the female Secret Service Agents that needed a mini step ladder to be effective bullet catchers to protect Trump, perhaps Fox News can hire them as reporters for their morning shows. They certainly had the right mini skirts and hair styles to qualify.

Our Republic is under a massive threat from incompetence, political correctness and Marxist ideology and Trump is now designated as indestructible by the American people with divine intervention and he will soon fix our country.

My prayers go out to the family who lost a father and loved one due to Secret Service DEI incompetence.

On a positive note though I do I vomit each time I hear a moronic politician state we are a democracy not a republic keeping my stomach flushed as we press onward.

RELATED VIDEO: TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT

The Woke Director of the Secret Service Must Resign Immediately!

A public post is being promulgated that Jonathan Willis was the Secret Service Agent in the famous photo of the two snipers on the roof at Trump’s rally in Butler Pennsylvania.

The opinion piece states that the Secret Service Agent wants to inform the public that he had the Trump assassin in his sights for at least 3 minutes, but the head of the secret service detail refused to give the order to take out this cowardly punk fraud Republican Marxist.

The Secret Service agent said as per the unconfirmed post that the top brass prevented him from killing the roof top assassin before he took the shots at president Trump hitting him in the right ear and killing an innocent Trump supporter who was peacefully upholding his 1st amendment right to gather.

The Marxist deep state has a long track record of getting Americans killed from indecision and incompetence and or deliberate treason against our republic.

My friend Billy Waugh a former CIA operative who has since passed away trusted in me and said he had Saudi Terrorist Osama Bin Laden in his rifle scope site while tracking him in the Sudan.

Billy even knew what the VIN number was on Osama Bin Laden’s Sudanese automobile parked in front of his Sudanese clay and brick home.

Billy Waugh is a legendary covert CIA operative who honed his skills in unconventional warfare during the Vietnam War, he helped the CIA hunt down Carlos the Jackal and Osama Bin Laden. When he was 72 years old he deployed and engaged in combat operations in Afghanistan.

Billy told me in confidence that he was denied the kill shot to eliminate Osama Bin Laden by impeached President Bill Clinton via the chain of command.

If Clinton had taken the necessary action and authorized the kill shot on Osama bin Laden when Bin Laden was in the Sudan there wouldn’t have been a 9/11. No invasion of Afghanistan and no invasion of Iraq with thousands of lives saved. It would have taken only one bullet from Billy Waugh.

“The CIA had a so-called ‘lethal finding’ [bill] that had been signed by impeached President Bill Clinton that said that we (as in the CIA) could engage in ‘lethal activity’ against bin Laden, but the purpose of our attack against bin Laden couldn’t be to kill him.

My brave and honorable friend of over 20 years Billy Waugh died in Tampa Florida died on April 4. 2023 He was 93. His military awards include the Silver Star and 8 Purple Hearts.

Let’s also not forget the Benghazi disaster when former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Defense Secretary Leon Paneta and President Obama denied the US mission in Libya more military protection resulting in the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three Navy SEALs on September 11th 2012. More incompetence and weakness.

Jumping back to July 13th 2024, the responsibility for the total failure to protect former President and current presidential candidate Donald Trump falls squarely on the shoulders of installed President Marxist Joe Biden who appointed the incompetent woke individual Kimberly A. Cheatle as director of the U.S. Secret Service.

Trump and his campaign have repeatedly asked for more protection only to be rebuffed by the Biden administration giving him only bare minimum security. So if the post is true the deep state either by indecisive actions or intentional treason almost got Trump killed.

The Director of the U.S. Secret Service should resign immediately and return to her job as the director of global security at Pepsi. She kept all the Pepsi machines and infrastructure secure in its North American facilities. Zero casualties no Pepsi machines lost. Great job.

God speed President Trump we patiently wait your return to the White House in January 2025. Then the real work will start to drain the swamp, prosecute the corrupt politicians and restore our republic to greatness.
