Secret Service 'needs more help' after second Trump 'assassination attempt' | LBC

The FBI has said that Trump was the subject of an "apparent assassination attempt" after gunshots rang out at his Florida golf club at around 1pm local time (7.45pm BST) on Sunday.
Current President Joe Biden has since called for the allocation of more resources to the Secret Service, telling reporters, “The Service needs more help,” as he departed the White House.
A man named as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested by police in connection with the shooting late on Sunday evening after allegedly fleeing the scene.

It’s a “fact of life” according to Republicans. Thoughts and prayers.

[@lbthingsstuffmore9513]

Well, thoughts and prayers. Republicons won't do anything about guns. Vance said it's a fact of life.🤷

His party wants more guns , the right to carry etc , no checks . Then they get offended when someone turns up with one. You couldn’t make this nonsense up

I reckon it's a setup to take the news cycle off eating the daawgs. Guy didn't get shot (In America), was discovered easily, left his kit attached to a fence, got tracked down easily, didn't get shot at the pickup, then appears to be getting charged just with unlawful possession of a firearm. He's been paid off to take some jail time... And Chump gets sympathy..

[@evulclown]

Wild to me it was Republicans both times too. Apparently Republican assassins aim like Star Wars Storm troopers 🤣🤣

[@captain_context9991]

THING IS... We all grew up with American police, lawyer movies and TV shows didnt we. Where they always caught their guy and crime never paid. And there was always the FBI and CIA and all these abbreviations with infinite resources and the absolute pinacle of utmost professionalism. But in reality only like 30% of murderers are ever caught in the US, and police have spectacularly low 10-16 weeks of training. There is a lot of PRIDE in law enforcement, but very low actual professionalism. In the previous attempt, the amazing lack of professionalism was revealed. Which now makes others think they could do better.

[@lbthingsstuffmore9513]

Trump isn’t well liked. He *could* just drop out of the campaign. That would improve his safety right there. OR We could remove all of the doors from Mar-A-Lago but the entrance door, have every club member buzz in and go through a metal detector, board up the windows, and restrict Trump to indoor activities. No more golf. Then, we get retired veterans and make them into security officers to take down anyone who looks like a bad guy with a gun. Sure it sounds like a prison but that’s what Republicans are always suggesting for school kids.

Trump is the only former president that has tried to move as much money from the SS budget into his own pockets. It has been established that he has been overcharging for rooms, food, golf carts and air travel. His properties, golf courses and plane are all being subsidized by the SS budget.

I am a right leaning American but enjoy LBC and this was a great segment. / let’s make it a military mission to keep our top politicians safe and send troops. The US has over 1 million active and reserve service members. I’m sure we could reassign about 100 of them to Trumps detail. Let’s keep whatever his current location is completely surrounded by troops and equipment at all times. Armored vehicles and tanks if need be. Whatever it takes. Two shootings from fairly close range is ridiculous.
