Former Secret Service agent Richard Staropoli has warned that Donald Trump, the winner of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, may face a significant security threat before his inauguration. Staropoli indicated that the potential attack could be of a 'much bigger magnitude' than previous assassination attempts. Concerns have also been raised by other security experts, including former Secret Service personnel, who have emphasized the heightened threat environment Trump is expected to inherit. Sebastian Gorka stated that Trump will inherit a 'very, very serious' terrorist threat environment. Reports suggest that the FBI is investigating a possible aerial drone attack plot targeting Trump. Additionally, it has been noted that most Americans believe another assassination attempt is likely. These warnings highlight the challenges faced by the Secret Service in ensuring the safety of the president-elect amid a tense security climate.
