Trump is such an incompetent clown that he has a comedian thrash on US citizens in a US territory as a bigoted racist warm up act for his rallies. What do you think.
Trump is not responsible for his security though, secret service is. Would think that those guys would know to not wear random trackers with them
Pretty sure the secret service is responsible for protecting Trump. The rest of his campaign security is the job of the campaign, which is famously cheap.
And it's in the Secret Service's interest to have certain rules for any additional security operating an an event they're responsible for protecting. That's literally their job...
Yes but thr farther they get from the protected the less oversight.
I guess that depends on the reason they're further from the VIP. If it's because they're prepping for a visit, it should have just as much oversight as if they're with the individual. If they're merely doing mundane work (say, cleaning up after a visit), then sure, allow some leeway. But in general, if they're on the clock, they shouldn't have any trackers outside of ones issued for the purposes of their job.
I'm not sure if it's still valid, but there was that whole debacle where he fired every secret service agent except for ones that backed him politically.
Would you think those guys would know to do something about a dude on a roof with a rifle?
Maybe, having worked closely enough with Trump to have an even better idea of who he is than most, it was a choice rather than incompetence.
What does that have to do with the French newspaper Le Monde?
You think the rest of the world doesn't follow the news when a lunatic is in the run with an actual chance of getting elected?
Turns out we have journalists, in France!
I don't know. I don't read Le Monde.
