Zero politics! Imagine having 8, 000 agents, a budget of 3 billion, and you still can't protect a former president. Let that sink in...

[alexmark]

Wow the comments here.. That was a JFK like event and we still don’t know what really happened out there, and all these hateful deranged comments.

KNOWING HOW THING ARE THEY MIGHT JUST USE REGULAR GLASS AND SAY THEY THOUGHT IT WAS BULLET PROFF 🤔

[uizpfrz]

Can’t believe the haters in here, y’all are ridiculous

[joewoodchuck]

It isn't actually glass. It's polycarbonate unless they've come up with something new.
I hope it will be air conditioned. A clear box in the sun will heat up in no time.

TELLS ME FOR SURE WHO TO VOTE FOR, ,NEVER SEEN A GOVERNMENT GO AFTER A MAN LIKE THIS !SOME PEOPLE MUST HAVE A LOT TO HIDE AND KEEP FROM FINDING OUT !!!

[Joplin]

The glass will fog up from the hot air

[janina]

He doesn’t pay his bills for indoor rallies so they won’t let him reserve them unless he pays upfront. 😂

The pope has the pope mobile. What are we going to call this?

[Manny]

I swear the media think people are stupid. Media always picture trump in a negative way and Kamala in a positive way. If Kamala where do do interview and Trump wasn’t the media would’ve been all on Trump for not doing interview

Excellent 💯❗️ Should have been there from day one 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Go President Trump❣️❣️❣️😊

[VegasRT]

I hope the American taxpayers are not paying for that. It would be a waste of money.

[lisabelchik]

He should be enclosed... But I was thinking behind bars!

[blurrcs]

He asked for this violence when he constantly threatened and bullied anyone who would oppose him! Anyone who threatens democracy and good people doesn't deserve protection under any circumstances!

WHO'S FRONTING THE BILLS ON THIS. IS IT COMING OUT OF HIS POCKETS? (I'M A BILLIONAIRE) ALL FOR NAUGHT BC, THIS IS A LOSER ON NOV. 6, 2024

[Benito-fnip]

Excellent. Protect him so he can face more criminal charges and end up in prison or another country he flees to in order to escape punishment for his multiple crimes.

[jazzchristineart]

What about the they’re gonna flee to Venezuela thing? Why isn’t he in prison? Why isn’t anyone talking about? The judge is not putting him in prison for threatening the flea if he doesn’t win Several courts should put him in jail right now for what he said, but no one’s talking about it

[reviewtechusaranter]

They're building 3/4 of the jail cell already? Why no fourth pane?

[Gnosis]

Why would anyone want to hurt Trump? He's such a nice guy. So warm and compassionate. We need him because America is a third-world country. Why would he lie? Harris 2024!

[margaritadominguez]

😮Can it be an idiot approved glass as well?😂
