Making lemonade, Secret Service Style

 I’m honestly not sure if this a bug or a feature, but the Secret Service has recommended that Trump no longer do outdoor rallies.  Which, of course, are his thing.  But then the SS won’t have to worry about sloped roofs and buildings clearly within a reasonable perimeter.  So it makes THEIR jobs easier.

By their well thought out assassination attempt being thwarted by a turn of the head (because seriously, that many holes in security cannot be just fuck-ups), they are pivoting and are now using it as an excuse to not have as many people see him in person, cutting down on his campaigning effectiveness.

They really are trying to give Kacklin’ Kamala every advantage, aren’t they?

ETA:  Previous reports of Trump allowing the SS to curtail his activities was premature.  He told them to pound sand.



  1. The USSS comment on outdoor rallies tells me that (1) They admit they are unable to protect the principal, or (2) They are unwilling to protect the principal, or (3) as you mention, outdoor rallies provide a venue for too many supporters and that enthusiasm needs to be squelched. I actually believe the answer is all three.

  3. Every crowd at a Trump campaign proves The Democratic Party stole the 2000 election, and plans to steal the 2024 election. Neither Joe Biden nor Hilary Clinton could fill a High School basketball gym with supporters. Kamala Harris? Please.

  4. Then again, indoor shooting ranges are a thang. Lighting is different but there's no wind, corealis or other elementals to consider. So this whole discussion may be open for other thoughts I hope.

  11. I don't see the problem if Trump does not appear in public. After all, Biden never emerged from his basement for the 2020 election and got the most votes EVAH! and is the most popular president in all of history. If it worked for Biden, then it'll work for Trump, maybe?(The internet needs a sarcasm font, surely?)Phil B
