This afternoon, the once and future president Donald Trump came on Twitter/X to speak out about the second assassination attempt against him in about two months.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 16, 2024 The cut off text reads: Most importantly, I want to thank the U.S.
Secret Service, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and his Office of brave and dedicated Patriots, and, all of Law Enforcement, for the incredible job done today at Trump International in keeping me, as the 45th President of the United States, and the Republican Nominee in the upcoming Presidential Election, SAFE. THE JOB DONE WAS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. I AM VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN! As we indicated yesterday, we are not sure that Trump should be thanking the Secret Service that profusely.
We believe the boots-on-the-ground types are doing their best, but we think one or more people in that organization are deliberately shorting Trump's security in the hope that someone gets a lucky shot in. Certainly, at this point, two would-be assassins have shown that it is too easy to get too close to Trump. One of our fellow Twitchy writers—we apologize but we can't remember who—pointed out that Ryan Routh's Twitter/X account stopped posting a few days after Crooks' failed assassination attempt.
His theory was that Routh had decided to take a shot at Trump around then, partially inspired by all the reports that Trump's security is weak. This other writer suggested that Routh stopped posting on Twitter/X so he wouldn't leave the same social media trail as he might have, otherwise. It's just a theory, but it makes sense in context.
If we became head of the Secret Service right now, we would hold a press...
Aaron Walker.
