Former President Trump will have bulletproof glass surrounding his podium for outdoor events going forward.
Indoor events, meanwhile, will not involve the same level of protection, the source confirmed.
The additional level of protection comes after an assassination attempt on the former president during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania last month.
The president was addressing the open-air crowd, just minutes into his speech, when a gunman fired at him from the rooftop of a nearby building.
Trump managed to just barely turn his head and duck beneath the podium. A Secret Service member killed the gunman just seconds after he opened fire.
Trump was struck in the ear but avoided serious injury. One spectator in the audience was killed and two others were injured.
Enhanced Security Measures: A Necessary Precaution
The recent assassination attempt on President Trump has sparked a nationwide conversation about the safety of our political leaders. It’s a stark reminder of the risks faced by those who dare to challenge the status quo and fight for conservative values.
While the left might be quick to downplay the severity of this incident, let’s not forget their hysterical reactions to far less serious events during their own politicians’ public appearances. Remember the great “shoe-throwing incident” of 2008 when President George W. Bush deftly dodged a flying shoe? The media couldn’t stop talking about it for weeks!
Now, we have a real assassination attempt on a former president, and the silence from the left is deafening. It’s almost as if they’re more concerned about protecting their narrative than they are about protecting American lives. But fear not, fellow conservatives, for we know the truth!

Media Bias: The Elephant in the Room
The security failure has brought heavy scrutiny on the Secret Service, which had been responsible for coordinating with local law enforcement. But where’s the media outcry? If this had happened to a Democrat, we’d be drowning in 24/7 coverage, complete with dramatic reenactments and teary-eyed pundits.
Instead, we’re treated to articles about how Biden is supposedly the next Einstein and Harris is the second coming of Abraham Lincoln. It’s enough to make you wonder if the mainstream media is reporting news or writing fan fiction!
Let’s face it, folks: if mental gymnastics were an Olympic sport, the liberal media would take gold every time. They’re so busy trying to paint Biden as a genius that they’ve forgotten what actual intelligence looks like. Here’s a friendly reminder: confusing Austria with Australia isn’t a sign of brilliance, it’s a sign that maybe it’s time for a geography refresher!
The Security Lapse: A Comedy of Errors (If It Weren’t So Serious)
The anger over the security lapse intensified after it was revealed that law enforcement had identified the gunman – later identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks – as suspicious an hour before the rally began, but lost track of him. It’s like a real-life game of “Where’s Waldo?”, except Waldo is armed and dangerous, and the stakes are much higher than just finding a guy in a striped shirt.
Crooks was able to scale the roof of a building owned by AGR International Inc., a supplier of automation equipment for the glass and plastic packaging industry, and fire an estimated eight shots with an AR-15-style rifle. One has to wonder: if our law enforcement can’t keep track of a suspicious person for one hour, how can we trust them to keep our borders secure for years on end?
Lessons Learned: The Importance of Strong Leadership
This incident serves as a stark reminder of why we need strong, conservative leadership in this country. While the left is busy pushing for defunding the police and opening our borders, we’re seeing firsthand the consequences of lax security measures.
President Trump has always been a staunch supporter of law enforcement and border security. His policies aimed to strengthen our nation’s defenses, both internally and at our borders. It’s ironic that he became a victim of the very weaknesses in our system that he fought so hard to address.
Let’s compare this to the current administration’s approach to security. While they’re busy worrying about the latest politically correct terms to use, real threats are slipping through the cracks. It’s time to get back to basics: protect our leaders, secure our borders, and put American safety first.
Moving Forward: Bulletproof Glass and Bulletproof Policies
As we move forward, it’s clear that enhanced security measures are necessary. Bulletproof glass around the podium is a good start, but let’s not stop there. We need bulletproof policies to protect all Americans, not just our leaders.
This means supporting our law enforcement, securing our borders, and standing firm against those who wish to do us harm. It means electing leaders who understand the real threats we face and are willing to take decisive action to address them.
In the end, this incident, while tragic, has only served to strengthen the resolve of conservatives across the nation. We’ve seen firsthand the dangers of complacency and the importance of vigilance. As we look to the future, let’s remember this lesson and work together to build a safer, stronger America.
