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.

I was asked by a secret service agent to draw two of my weapons from the armory, then after introducing me to the air traffic controllers he gave me a direct order, "If anyone other than me attempts to come through this door you are ordered to shoot first, ask questions later. No one tried coming through the door and the agent returned and placed me with my two weapons in the reception line to greet the president!!
