Secret Service Given ‘Stand Down’ Orders During Trump’s Assassination Attempt
Fact Checked by Chris Wick News Community
In a plot twist more befitting a Hollywood thriller than real-life events, eyewitnesses and videos have surfaced revealing that the Secret Service were allegedly given ‘stand down’ orders during the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. As snipers pointed their guns at the rooftop shooter, they refrained from pulling the trigger, allowing Trump to remain in the crosshairs.
Snipers Stand Down: The Unseen Drama Unfolds
Eyewitnesses and videos depict a scene straight out of a conspiracy theorist’s dream. Snipers, perfectly positioned, weapons at the ready, chose not to act. The public, ever vigilant and armed with smartphones, took to social media, asking the burning question: “Why didn’t they shoot him first?” The footage shows the assassin in plain sight, yet the Secret Service stood down, as if waiting for a director to yell “Cut!”
Historical Echoes: JFK and the Stand Down Orders
This isn’t the first time the Secret Service has been accused of playing the role of passive observer during a presidential assassination attempt. On November 22, 1963, witnesses reportedly saw a rifle pointed at JFK’s motorcade. Yet, the Secret Service remained unfazed. Fast forward to 2024, and it seems history has a way of repeating itself.
Eyewitness Accounts: The Unfolding Mystery
According to Infowars.com, an eyewitness told BBC News he saw the shooter with a long rifle climbing onto a building about four hundred yards from Trump’s stage. The witness described the scene vividly: “We noticed the guy bear-crawling up the roof of the building beside us. We’re pointing at the guy crawling up the roof. He had a rifle. The police are down there running around on the ground and we’re like, ‘Hey, there’s a guy on the roof with a rifle.’”
The witness attempted to alert nearby police officers, questioning why Trump was still speaking and why he hadn’t been pulled off stage. The shooter remained on the roof for “three to four minutes” before firing five shots. The witness also wondered why there wasn’t Secret Service protection on all the roofs near the stage.
Shots Fired: The Aftermath
In another video, just before shots rang out, someone shouted, “He’s got a gun!” As we reported in May, a deleted and leaked World Economic Forum memo reveals Donald J. Trump is on the “hit list” of leaders to be assassinated if he continues proving impossible to control.
A video obtained by TMZ shows the shooter lying on the roof just before opening fire as people shouted, “He’s got a gun on the roof!” The video later shows the deceased shooter’s body lying on the roof mentioned by the eyewitness.
Elon Musk Weighs In The Secured Line of Sight
X owner Elon Musk agreed with a post that asked, “How the hell was such an obvious line of sight not secured?” A graphic shared by military veteran Matt Bracken shows the angle and distance between Trump and the shooter. “How was a sniper with a full rifle kit allowed to bear crawl onto the closest roof to a presidential nominee?” asked Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posobiec.
Secret Service Insider: Vantage Points and Leaks
Journalist James O’Keefe wrote that he spoke with a Secret Service insider who confirmed that teams are supposed to “cover ALL vantage points — rooftops most obvious.” Podcast host Patrick Bet-David questioned whether there’s “a potential leak in Secret Service.” Musk called for people to be fired over the shooting.
Dan Bongino Speaks: The Need for Security Footprint
Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino claimed the director of U.S. Secret Service has “repeatedly turned down requests for a larger security footprint around President Trump.” This raises the question: Are the Secret Service guardians or gardeners, tending to the chaos rather than preventing it?
Conclusion: A Tale of Inaction
As the dust settles, the public remains skeptical and conspiracy theories abound. Were the Secret Service truly given stand-down orders, or was this a colossal failure of communication and protocol? Whatever the truth may be, the attempted assassination of Donald Trump will undoubtedly be scrutinized for years to come, a chilling reminder of the fragility of security in the face of determined adversaries.
