The Spin

The Secret Service made every possible failure that day in Pennsylvania, from placing inexperienced agents on Trump's protection detail to ignoring the suspicious shooter for over 90 minutes before he started shooting. What makes this even worse is that after almost allowing Trump to die, the agency took no responsibility. The USSS is curently rotten to its core and must be completely overhauled.
