Former President Donald J. Trump had to relocate and downsize a rally in Wisconsin on Saturday because the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) refused to allocate sufficient personnel. The federal agency, accused of multiple shocking failures ahead of the assassination attempts against the former president in Pennsylvania and Florida, instead prioritized the protection of foreign leaders at the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in New York, including the President of Iran.
“We were going to have a thing outside someplace in an area where we could have held the people… thousands and thousands of people, and they all could have had a lot of fun,” Trump said in Prairie du Chien.
“Instead, now they’re probably leaving and walking back home, because we have a nice little room that probably holds 1,500, 2,000, maybe less, and outside you have 40,000, 50,000 people.”
He said the Biden-Harris government claimed it “couldn’t give us the Secret Service necessary, because they’re guarding the Iranian president who’s looking to kill Trump.”
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence recently briefed the Trump campaign that there are “real and specific” Iranian threats to “assassinate [President Trump] in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States.”
Secret Service sources complain their “personnel and equipment are being pushed to their limits” and that the canceled Wisconsin event “took place during the United Nations General Assembly, where the Secret Service is responsible for the safety and security of over 140 world leaders amid a challenged global threat level.”
Why protecting foreign leaders would take precedence over protecting a former president and current presidential candidate is unclear.
