The recent attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life at a Pennsylvania rally has left many people furious and suspicious. The details emerging from the Wall Street Journal’s bombshell report reveal a disturbing security failure that raises serious questions about the protection provided to Trump. Let’s dive into the alarming facts and explore why this incident is so maddening.
The Alarming Incident
On July 13th, at the Butler Farm Show grounds in western Pennsylvania, a gunman named Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate Donald Trump during his rally. Crooks, a 20-year-old man, used a drone to get aerial footage of the fairgrounds just hours before Trump was set to speak. This major security lapse is baffling. How could the Secret Service allow this to happen?
Drone Reconnaissance
According to the Wall Street Journal, Crooks flew the drone on a programmed flight path to survey the site. He made multiple flights to gather detailed information. The fact that he could fly a drone over such a sensitive area without being detected is deeply troubling. This shows a serious gap in security measures that should have been in place to protect Trump.
The Deadly Attack
On the day of the rally, Crooks climbed onto the roof of the American Glass Research building, about 400 feet from where Trump was speaking. From there, he fired at least six rounds, killing one person, critically injuring two others, and grazing Trump’s ear. Fortunately, a Secret Service sniper team shot back and killed Crooks. However, the damage and fear he caused were immense.
Detailed Preparations
Crooks wasn’t just lucky. He meticulously prepared for the attack. Friends described him as smart but withdrawn, and he used his intelligence to plan everything carefully. After Trump’s campaign announced the rally on July 3rd, Crooks began his research. He registered for the rally on July 7th and visited the farm show grounds several times to scope out the area.
Homemade Explosives
Crooks didn’t come to the rally empty-handed. He had two homemade bombs in his car, fitted with receivers like those used for remote fireworks. Investigators believe these explosives were designed to be set off remotely, adding another layer of potential destruction. This shows the depth of his planning and the danger he posed.
Serious Security Failures
The fact that Crooks could get so close to the rally with such dangerous weapons and equipment raises serious questions about the security measures in place. Multiple investigations are now underway to understand how Crooks could climb onto a rooftop with an AR-15 rifle without being stopped. This is not just a minor oversight; it’s a massive failure that put countless lives at risk.
Critical Questions
How did a man with a backpack and a rangefinder, seen wandering around the rally site an hour before the attack, not raise immediate alarms? Why wasn’t the drone detected earlier, given its multiple flights over a high-security event? These questions demand answers. The security protocol for protecting a former president should be the highest in the country, yet this incident shows it was far from adequate.
Public Outrage
The public reaction to this incident has been one of anger and concern. Trump supporters and others are questioning how such a significant security lapse could occur. There’s a growing sense of frustration and suspicion, with many wondering if there’s more to this story than meets the eye. Was this just an isolated incident, or does it point to broader issues within the security apparatus responsible for protecting high-profile figures?
Moving Forward
The implications of this security breach are far-reaching. Not only does it highlight potential vulnerabilities in protecting public figures, but it also raises concerns about the effectiveness of current security protocols. If a young man with a drone and a rifle can get this close to harming a former president, what does that say about our ability to protect other important events and individuals?
Heightened Vigilance
In the wake of this incident, security for upcoming events will undoubtedly be heightened. Already, reports suggest that people are hesitant about attending rallies due to fears about security. For instance, at an upcoming rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, some attendees are reportedly visiting the venue early just to check out the security setup. This kind of vigilance is necessary, but it also underscores the erosion of trust in the current security measures.
Final Thoughts
This near-tragic event at the Butler Farm Show grounds is a stark reminder of the critical importance of robust security protocols. The fact that such a significant lapse could occur is both maddening and suspicious. It’s imperative that we get to the bottom of how this happened and ensure it never happens again. The safety of our leaders and the public depends on it.

This is the greatest change for the democrats, another person selected will win the presidential election over Trump! If it is Michelle Obama she’ll be the likely winner. Hate to write this because the democrats for the last 3 1/2 years have wreaked havic on the the people of this great America.
So did they decease the shooter so he couldnt spill the beans?With all that time the sniper could have aimed to incapacitate and some questions could have been answered!! This whole thing smells terribly rotten.
Why is our government becoming so inept? It’s not, it’s all in the plan. You can’t defund the police, get soft on crime, let MILLION’S break our laws and enter our country, print money constantly, divide our citizen’s into smaller and smaller groups, all to cause chaos. Classic Cloward Piven to facilitate communist takeover of our country. The planned assassination of Trump FAILED, only by the grace of God. Our country is being put in a coffin, the upcoming election is is the final nail.
Cheatle needs to resign ASAP for gross incompetence. the gunman had a drone but the secret service didnt!!!! you cant make up a more inept story line on the secret services then this assassination attempt. Dozens of dropped balls and missed opportunities to stop it. . President Trump survived only by the grace of God and no thanks to the secret service or should I say Keystone cops!
The biggiest point not mentioned in this article is that the shooter was reported to authorities 30 minutes before he fired a shot. That alone should have been enough to demand that Trump not get on the stage. This was a planned assassination by our own government just like JFK, RFK Jr. and Martin Luther King.
