TRUMP IGNORED SECRET SERVICE WARNINGS THAT HIS GOLF CLUB WAS NOT SAFE

TRUMP IGNORED SECRET SERVICE WARNINGS THAT HIS GOLF CLUB WAS NOT SAFE

JASON EASLEY DONALD TRUMP, TOP NEWS MON, SEP 16TH, 2024

https://www.politicususa.com/2024/09/16/trump-ignored-secret-service-warnings-that-his-golf-club-was-not-safe.html

"SNIP.............

The Secret Service has been warning Donald Trump for years that his golf clubs were not safe, but just like in Butler, Trump ignored the warnings.

The Washington Post reported:

Soon after Donald Trump became president, authorities tried to warn him about the risks posed by golfing at his own courses because of their proximity to public roads. Secret Service agents came armed with unusual evidence: not suspect profiles or spent bullet casings, but simple photographs taken by news crews of him golfing at his private club in Sterling, Va.

But Trump insisted that his clubs were safe and that he wanted to keep golfing, the former officials said. These preferences posed problems for his protection that former Trump aides, Secret Service officials and security experts said have only intensified in the years since he left the White House, as his security detail shrank and agents no longer maintained as extensive a perimeter guarding his movements. A Trump spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.


This story should sound familiar as Trump was warned before his Butler, PA that the venue wasn’t a safe place to hold a political event, and he also ignored those warnings.

His father sent him to military school as a teenager to straighten him out.

We see how that worked out.

Is that a government responsibility? He can probably just buy another set at any sporting goods store.

I've had concerns about it since November 2016. Seems way too glass half full for our times.

After searching "Trump Ignored Secret Service Warnings" in Google search bar it doesn't show up. After adding full title (That His Golf Club Was Not Safe) it appears 2nd behind an article by The Nation.
