Calling it Suspect did not hang himself.

Bunch of 🤡s … if it weren’t for the witness, this guy would still be missing. Dont talk about how great of a job the law enforcement did … raise your security standards buddy.

[lauraking]

Hopefully you dont let this guy get killed. We need to see whose behind this.

[JP-vepp]

The FBI investigating? Seriously? 🙄🙄🤡🤡

[williamobrien]

How did this shooter know that Trump was even there? This event wasn’t made public or on his calendar.

[ac]

After the first one, i knew there would be another attempt .

[Jane-West]

Can Grady Judd lead this investigation? We need someone honest and non political..

[mydixierekt]

An unscheduled golfing did the shooter know???

[jasonmccarrick]

Really he was almost assassinated at one time and the government isn't going to allow him to have a bigger security team. That's freaking ridiculous

[robbiecoomer]

I don't trust the FBI . Better off having local take this case .

[TheRoyalBavarian]

Why does this feel like an inside job. ? We need to know everything about that guy.

[Thepictishscotsman]

At this rate, Trump's dodging more bullets than John Wick on a Monday!

How did secret service engage this guy with firearms and not only miss him but he is able to jump up from these bushes and run to his car and get away. ???? If it wasn't for the citizen with a camera he might have gotten away with this.

This time the SS couldn't use their "Don't shoot until any potential assassin gets off several shots and has a chance to kill Trump" strategy they used before. But apparently the SS shoots like Star Wars storm troopers because the guy just got into his vehicle and drove away. They were close enough to read his tag number, but couldn't aim well enough to hit him.

First a Ar-15 now a Ak-47 the main guns they want to Ban!! Nobody & I Mean Nobody Who has the nuts or training to take out a HVT with a security detail that has the same or more training as them would ever make these weapons there number one

[amywarnock]

I love it! He let those reporters know shut up let me talk then keep your questions short...I always feel bad for the officers because people start bombarding them with questions...

[TheLamba]

How do these criminals manage to even get this close! It is so stupid of F.B.I. secret service after the previous attempt on Trump's life in PA. If I was Trump, I would hire my own private security team.

[Dane-oq]

Wray/garland pizzed because losing their job soon.

[maris]

Why isn't the whole area covered with surveillance cameras, and SS has to rely only on witnesses???!

Praying for President Trump and his family.
