The decision not to survey the course at Trump International Golf Club due to time constraints allowed a man with a gun to conceal himself for nearly 12 hours before being discovered.
Acting Secret Service director Ronald L. Rowe Jr. praised the rapid response of agents but acknowledged that missed opportunities could jeopardize Mr. Trump’s safety as he campaigns.
The incident has raised concerns about the Secret Service's capacity to protect high-profile individuals, particularly as political violence appears to be rising amidst the presidential campaign.
After recent events, lawmakers are questioning whether increased funding would actually enhance security, suggesting a deeper evaluation of the Secret Service's operational effectiveness is necessary.
