I have my theory that this is Trump's way of weaseling out of trouble. There's no way the Secret Service could be that incompetent at any level unless the President specifically required them to be, as was the case with JFK.

[@evelynzlon9492]

Which reminds me, I have my theory that my late grandpa personally assassinated JFK from the grassy knoll. His great granduncle wrote war books threatening to overthrow the US government by military force. JFK was assassinated on this author's birthday. My grandpa also closely resembled Lee Harvey Oswald. At a glance they could've been mistaken for the same person. However I doubt that my grandpa hypnotized JFK into relaxing his own personal security. I think JFK had an encounter with...The Whisperer.

[@evelynzlon9492]

Problem is, America has a history of enslaving biracial people. People like myself. Inevitably this poses an indirect hazard to whites on a biological basis. There are people in the world who don't care what your goddam excuse is. They just want to get you before you get them.

[@evelynzlon9492]

JFK was also assassinated during the civil rights era. Tuh. The more hoops blacks have to jump through to "prove" our worthiness of equal rights, the more likely these plans will go awry and America's goddam racial excuses will kick in. Which is all the MORE reason for some white folks you ignored to overthrow America by military force. For the aforementioned reasons. The biological factor is a constant and is unresponsive to political fads.

If 19 out of 24 Agents make it through training and to be a SS Agent doesn’t require any kind of military experience, that’s a huge problem within itself. No one should be in SS without first hand combat experience because no one knows how they will react until they are in that position like that lady who was scared to protect Trump in Butler. Also, 6 months is not long enough at all IMO for training if that is the only training you have ever received. If you are former military then that is different but less than 6 months of training while some of it is bookwork and laws is hardly any more than an average Police Officer. That is absolutely pathetic for the supposed greatest protection detail in the world.
