The unsettling details surrounding the Secret Service’s security blunder that put former President Trump in mortal danger have been drawing massive attention. Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino isn’t letting this story slip through the cracks. Armed with insider knowledge, Bongino goes deep into the catastrophic missteps that nearly led to an unthinkable tragedy. Who needs to sleep when you can dissect government incompetence fueled by a dedication to transparency?
In a weekend podcast, Bongino provided a thorough examination of the security failure that took place in Butler County, Pennsylvania, where the Secret Service found itself flat-footed during a potential assassination attempt. According to Bongino, local law enforcement assigned to cover the roofs inexplicably opted to lounge instead of keeping a watchful eye due to a little thing called “heat.” That’s right — apparently, the only thing hotter than the sun was their desire to avoid exertion.

Not only did this lapse in duty put Trump’s life at risk, but it had a tragic aftermath as well: the death of Corey Comperatore. While some might be inclined to shrug off the incident as a mere footnote, Bongino made it clear that such negligence is extremely difficult to comprehend. The officers on duty were waiting for a visual cue—a muzzle flash—before acting, which he described as a glaring failure that could have been easily avoided with a bit of proactive planning. Maybe someone should have handed them sunscreen and a pair of binoculars instead of leaving them to sweat it out.
Bongino also hinted at upcoming revelations that promise to turn heads. Contrary to circulating theories, the viral video showcasing a Secret Service sniper doesn’t depict the actual team that neutralized the threat. It’s a classic case of internet frenzy flying blind, as the real sharpshooters were positioned further away, executing a miraculous shot that saved Trump’s life at the last possible moment. One can only imagine the confusion as folks flood the social media feeds with inaccurate footage while the real heroes stand in the shadows, their accomplishments unsung.
To make matters even more unsettling, Bongino regaled his audience with tales of chaos amidst the attempted attack. The initial shots fired didn’t just create panic; they also ruptured a hydraulic line on a piece of nearby farm equipment, causing fluids to spew forth and leading to a disoriented evacuation process for Trump and his staff. Add in some unexplained minor explosions, and it’s clear that this entire scene could have doubled as a budget thriller film. A crushed hydraulic line shouldn’t be part of a presidential motorcade exit plan.
Ultimately, Bongino insinuates that there’s much more to this chaotic saga, suggesting that it’ll take other outlets days or even weeks to catch up with the juicy tidbits shared on his podcast. What could have been done to prevent this disaster? Was there a lack of leadership, or were they merely kicked back, sipping lemonade while they watched the drama unfold? One thing is certain: the government’s record here reads more like a blooper reel than a page out of a security handbook. The bloopers could easily fill a sizeable “how not to protect a former president” manual, with chapters on studying meteorology and staying vigilant.
