You would think by now. Especially in today's political climate, both, geopolitically and domestically, that, every time the President and his or her entourage or any potential President to be next in line is out and about?

EVERYBODY is on high alert and ready to rock and roll. It's wild to think there's people this relaxed in these positions or lackadaiscal with their role.

If this was during the days of King's and Queen's? Good chance that whole vanguard would have been sent to the chopping block the next morning or placed in the darkest depths of their dungeon.

But, no, it's 2024. "Ho hum".

That's not my point at all.
I'm not saying they are or were "ho hum"
Because I don't know what actually went wrong yesterday.
What I do know is they never shoot first.
They cover the target first.
They didn't have to shoot first.
They just had to run up the stage right stairs and hustle Trump away to the left before any shots were fired.
Why did they fail? Hopefully we get an explanation.
