Concerns Raised Over Shorter Secret Service Agents in Trump Assassination Attempt

Jul 14, 2024, 02:33 PM

Concerns have been raised about the competence of the Secret Service agents assigned to protect former President Donald Trump. Several observations indicate that the agents, many of whom are significantly shorter than Trump, failed to adequately shield him during an attempted assassination. Critics argue that the height and physical capabilities of the agents are crucial for effective protection, with some suggesting that the assignment of shorter female agents, some as short as 4'6'', may have been influenced by diversity quotas. The incident has sparked a debate on the suitability of current Secret Service protocols and the physical requirements for agents tasked with protecting high-profile individuals. Footage of the incident shows Trump clearly for some time, and the iconic fist-bumping picture was taken as one agent, a foot shorter than Trump, left his head exposed.
