The Secret Service's failure to search the perimeter of Trump International Golf Club before Trump's arrival raises concerns about its resources amid increasing threats during the election campaign.
Acting Director Ronald L. Rowe Jr. acknowledged the anomaly, stating that the former president's appearance wasn't officially scheduled, which may have limited the agency’s advance preparations.
Despite the Secret Service's rigorous protocols, the situation escalated when an armed individual spent nearly 12 hours in close proximity to the golf club before targeting Trump.
Rowe commended agents for their quick response that halted a potential threat, emphasizing the importance of vigilance in protecting a former president amid complex political climates.
