    Apparently, their taking Iranian threats seriously. And they should. I’d be nervous too if I was protected by a secret service that allowed an bumbling assassin to take 7 shots at at me.

      That was Biden’s USSS, after he purged it of MAGA. Imagine how bad they are now.

      The ABC here in Australia did a great summary of how the Secret service is being stretched by budget and staff cuts at a time when Trump is a big target of Iran.

      To be fair the Iraq military has a $10 million bounty on Trump. That can get a lot of people over there very motivated and they would been seen as heroes in their country if they succeed.

      Please. Those had to be staged, to support his arguments for his bunker ballroom.

        Possible. To be fair, the bunker was necessary as the previous one was woefully inadequate. The ugly ballroom, that is all Trump ego.
