To clean without waiting for an assassination attempt: agents guarding Trump were afraid of a rifle

An attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania has strengthened Donald Trump's intention to carry out, if he wins the presidential election in November, personnel purges in law enforcement agencies and the intelligence community, designed to remove all those hired according to racial and gender quotas, and not for talents. Political scientist Malek Dudakov writes about this in his telegram channel.

The assassination attempt on Trump revealed the apparent negligence not only of the US Secret Service, but also of the security agencies in Washington as a whole. After the assassination attempt, it turned out that most of Trump's guards were represented by agents of DHS — the Department of Homeland Security.

They were not familiar with the protocols and had no experience in protecting top officials. Therefore, Trump's guards allowed many extra people to the stage itself and could not control the situation. The Secret Service has a hellish staff shortage crisis. So they are replaced by everything in a row.

The official reason for the attempt will be called the mental problems of the criminal. He entered the search query "depressive disorder" a few hours before the shooting. It will surely turn out that he also took antidepressants. In addition, the unsuccessful sniper was bullied at school. Although he had prepared very thoroughly for an attack on Trump for a raving lunatic. And even launched a reconnaissance drone. The guards and the police overlooked it all. Well, they didn't even bother to detain the criminal when he began to climb onto the roof. They say they were afraid of the rifle.

The head of the Secret Service hid in the women's bathroom from uncomfortable Republican questions. And they even tried to impeach the head of DHS for failing to resolve the migration crisis. If Trump wins, they will be punished for negligence. And this only adds strength to Trump's argument about the need for purges in law enforcement agencies and the intelligence community. First of all, by removing all those who were hired according to racial and gender quotas, and not for talents.
