What a boring day. Nothing of consequence happened at all.
😂😂😂😂😂 Secret Service stepped back and LET THE GUY RUN PAST THEM.
They’re incompetent at best, complicit at worst. The whole thing looks completely staged.
Could have done without that ‘k’ in panic
The latest Epstein files distraction, release all of the files.
Ok, but what about Epstein files? I would like to know more.
I mean really?!!…u are still pushing this????
I can’t wait for the next stunt because the problems are not going away.
THE OSCAR goes to 🤭🙄
My arthritic grandmother has faster reflexes than these Secret Service dudes
Third time staged Like other two. Not a charm. Just more drama to take away from the illegal war.
In more normal countries, this kind of event happens far less often. Not because our security around a hotel is better, or because we have a lower rate of crazy people, but because our countries aren't overflowing with guns.
The US is in some ways a freak country. Especially right now, with Archie Bunker as president.
I asked it once and I'll asked it again: with all those guns pointed at him why wasn't the alleged assassin shot dead?
As for the top paid security experts? Dismal showing.
To pull of a conspiracy in front of supposed “journalists”, they are culpable by legitimizing it.
Your favorite president that everyone loves to hate.
US citizens don’t rush with an insane man to finish the job!! Do it in style in November vote!!!😂😂😂
The Trump Show is on repeat episodes.
Is it possible for a narcissist to realize that they are the most hated person in the world and maybe should stay away from public gatherings?
What a wonderful script for his ballroom, a set up par excellence!
All lies.
Don’t waste your time.
It will be interesting to find out what he was running from.
This event is a matter of National Security of a domestic nature. No fatalities or civilian damage.
They cut funding for counter terrorism and loaded up on immigration, no?
Why wasn't he tackled as he ran through the guards. Instead, the all stepped back and froze before chasing him. Absurd!
