Donald Trump is now joining in on all the criticism of the Secret Service a week after his assassination attempt.
The 2024 Republican presidential candidate and his vice presidential pick JD Vance sat down for an interview with Fox News host, Jesse Watterswhich will air on Monday on the network.
In a teaser released Saturday, Trump criticized the Secret Service for failing to protect him at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last weekend.
He told Watters that the Secret Service never informed him that there was a shooter on the roof of a building before he went on stage.
He also said the Secret Service could have made him wait 5 to 20 minutes until the situation was clear, calling that a mistake.
Trump then criticized the Secret Service for allowing the shooter to climb onto the roof while the mob was shouting that there is a man with a gun long before Donald came out to give his speech.
The criticism didn’t stop there… Vance also questioned the competence of Trump’s protective team, saying someone needs to be held accountable — whether it’s someone high up or a field agent.

As you know, Trump was almost shot dead by Thomas Matthews BanditsWho fired a bullet who shaved Donald’s right ear. Crooks also shot three bystanders – one of whom was killed while the others survived. A Secret Service sniper then fatally shot Crooks.
In addition to Crooks acting suspiciously by carrying a scope through security—enough to deem him “suspicious”—we now know that he flew a drone over the site hours before the event to get a feel for the landscape, but the Secret Service did not flag it or even notice.
Initially, Trump praised the Secret Service agents who immediately rushed to the stage to protect him after he was shot. Now, Trump has clearly changed his tune and is siding with nearly every thinking American. the agency made a big mistake.
