[00:00] We are in a very bad spot in this country. And before we even start, I want you to put your party feelings aside. I don’t care if you love the Dunce or hate him. This isn’t a secret—I don’t like Donald Trump. I can’t stand him.
[00:11] But as an American, I’m pissed the f*** off. We’ve got the most powerful person on the face of the planet facing multiple assassination attempts, and we’re acting like this is just another news cycle.
[00:23] I need all Americans, no matter where you stand politically, to ponder this simple yet extremely important question: If they can’t keep the President safe—the supposed most protected person on Earth—then how the h*ll are they keeping us safe?
[00:38] Someone isn’t doing their job. Let’s talk about why the Secret Service is failing us.
[00:49] Assassination attempts aren’t new. People plotted on Obama, Biden, and Bush. Reagan was shot and survived. Lincoln and JFK were assassinated. But after every single one of those tragedies, something changed.
[01:03] After JFK, the Secret Service stopped presidents from riding in convertibles, and they brought in the first bulletproof limousines. They learned, they adapted, because they realized it’s a disaster for the country to have our leader that vulnerable.
[01:17] But fast forward to 2026, and it’s almost like the Secret Service forgot everything we learned. Why is it that people keep getting close enough to actually fire shots? A lot of things have to go wrong for a gunman to get that close to the President. This is a level of incompetence I haven’t seen in my lifetime.
[01:34] So why does this keep happening? I think I know the culprit. Donald Trump has to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find personnel for this administration. Why? Because no one with decent qualifications wants to completely bow down and give 100% loyalty to him.
[01:49] In his second term, the running theme is loyalty. That’s all he cares about. And when you prioritize loyalty over competence, you get people like Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, and Kristi Noem in high-level positions.
[02:04] I can only imagine the kind of unqualified people he’s got in the Secret Service right now. I swear I saw when the shooting started from out in the lobby area, or whatever the security personnel was—I swear I saw two of them bump into each other coming down the stairs.
[02:41] Like, what kind of sh*t is that? This isn’t normal. You don’t put “yes-men” in charge of the agencies that are supposed to head off these plots before they even start. Normally, they know about these plans before the first shot is even fired.
[02:55] Now, several people are getting close to him with guns. Love him or hate him, that ain’t supposed to happen, and that’s not good.
[03:02] And here’s the thing, Donald: if people keep trying to kill you, maybe it’s time to reevaluate your life choices. You keep fanning the flames of hate and attacking people, and you don’t know who you’re inciting. It doesn’t make it right for them to attack you—nobody is saying that—but they’re doing it.
[03:20] Your words have weight as President of the United States. So stop doing the shit that’s pissing people off enough to do this. And the f***ed up thing is that he knows this. But he’s fine with it if the Democrats are the target. But if the Republicans are the target, then they’ve got a problem.
[03:40] It’s not a good look for the country to have all of these people gunning for the President and getting close to him. And as an American, it’s making me think about future presidents. Whether it’s Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, AOC, or J.B. Pritzker, or whoever else might be the Democratic nominee for president, they will get Secret Service. That’s how it works.
[03:59] When Hillary Clinton became the Democratic nominee for president, she got Secret Service. I don’t know if Joe Biden still had Secret Service protection in the 2020 election; he may have, I don’t know. So either his detail got bigger or he got protection as the Democratic presidential nominee.
[04:17] And then I noticed a change because, unlike some people, I actually followed Kamala Harris’s vice presidency and knew what she was doing. Since so many people have a hard time knowing what she was doing apparently, I followed her vice presidency, and I noticed a distinct change in her Secret Service detail.
[04:37] She went from riding around in—I think—those big Tahoe SUVs to having a full, almost presidential motorcade. I remember seeing that from the campaign. That’s how the system typically works.
[04:50] So if the agency is losing its touch because of unqualified loyalist hiring, how are they supposed to protect the next person? And if it’s full of a bunch of Trump loyalists, are they going to be willing to protect the next person?
[05:03] Like, my question is, is the Secret Service even up to the task anymore? That’s the question every American needs to be asking, regardless of what party you’re in. Because right now, the answer looks like a resounding “No.”
[05:16] Let me know in the comments: do you think it’s a lack of training, or is the “loyalty over talent” culture finally catching up to them? I want to hear y’all’s thoughts. See y’all next time.
