A former Secret Service agent Richard Staropoli warns that president-elect Donald Trump could be targeted for another assassination attempt before his inauguration in January of 2025. Starpoli says this could be an attack that not even the Secret Service is prepared to stop.
Trump already faced two assassination attempts, but will there be more? That remains to be seen. Starpoli said the following during the video:
I’m not highly confident at all. The Secret Service that you see out there today is not the Secret Service of yesteryear. Somewhere along the line they’ve completely dropped the ball. That testimony that you saw today was purely a smokescreen to cover up the shortcomings of a politically compromised agency. It should never have gotten to that point… This whole talk about all these drones and these UAVs, hey, that’s all great, but you need to get back to the basics. What made the Secret Service great was its ability to put human intelligence, manpower on the streets and effectively secure the environment to make it safe for the president of the United States. I don’t see that here.
As a matter of fact, I don’t think I’d be alone in saying that I certainly can see something happening between now and inauguration day… And it’s not going to be some 20-year-old kid on the roof of a building that’s allowed to get within 100 yards. It’s going to be something of a much bigger magnitude and I don’t think the Secret Service is anywhere equipped to handle that situation.
