    There’s also the possibility that Trump’s secret service detail may also be more inept over all. Like if you had to be around that dipshit 24/7 you’d need an all overriding sense of duty or have to be a sycophant to put up with him since I can’t imagine he treats any of them with respect and sycophants aren’t known for competency. Like all the competent guys are probably on other people’s detail, are on perimeter, or are doing currency shit.

      And it seems like there is a possibility that the suspect didn’t shoot the secret service agent, but rather he was hit by friendly fire. The press was very careful to avoid claiming the president’s men shot the agent.

      When also considering the fact that the suspect was not hit, I’m leaning toward friendly fire.

      Anyone who’s spent time in any institution will tell you that corruption is a cancer, whether it’s just saying “good enough” on shoddy work that’ll barely hold together, or deciding “close enough” when arranging security for a formal dinner of political figures and journalists. If you don’t cut it out, it becomes part of the culture and nobody thinks twice.

      All of Trump’s political appointees have been completely inept, so who knows? It’s weird that a guy who hosted a show about finding the best apprentice to hire is maybe one of the stupidest people in the world when it comes to hiring.
