Donald Trump Jr. recently revealed his skepticism about the circumstances surrounding a 2024 assassination attempt, questioning the credibility of a “highly radicalized” 20-year-old assassin with no digital footprint.
He pointed out the absurdity of the situation by recalling his own experience where he was stopped by the U.S. Secret Service from flying his drone off a beach at Mar-a-Lago while his father was inside the house. Trump Jr. contrasted this with the current situation, noting that the same level of scrutiny doesn’t seem to apply to individuals scouting for violent acts, leading him to express frustration and disbelief.

Does anyone believe that in 2024 a highly radicalized 20-year-old would be assassin has absolutely zero digital footprint that helped make him so?
Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) alleged on Friday that whistleblowers have revealed several members of former President Donald Trump’s security detail were not properly trained Secret Service agents, contradicting previous statements by the agency’s director. According to Hawley, these whistleblowers claim that the Biden Administration authorized DHS officials to replace Secret Service agents tasked with Trump’s security.
In a letter addressed to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Hawley questioned why DHS officials, instead of trained Secret Service agents, were assigned to Trump’s security detail. He criticized the security arrangements at a July 13 rally, describing it as “loose” and lacking standard protective measures. Whistleblower accounts suggest that detection canines were not used, unauthorized individuals accessed backstage areas, and DHS personnel were poorly stationed around the event’s security perimeter.
