Former President Trump leaped to the defense of a female Secret Service agent who "shielded" him during an assassination attempt, after she faced blistering online criticism.

"I don’t know how they didn’t get hit," Trump told thousands at a St. Cloud, Minnesota, rally on Saturday as he recalled how "bullets were flying" and the security detail had rushed to shield his body.

"Every one of them – there wasn’t one that was slow. A woman who was on my right, she was shielding me," he said. "Beautiful person – she was shielding me, everything she could. And she got crushed. And she got criticized by the fake news because she wasn’t tall enough."

Who is this "fake news" that slammed the female agent as unqualified? Many here also condemned her for even being there.

Trump seems to be praising the job she did. For those who condemned her as unqualified do you think Trump is just full of crap? That he doesn't know what he is talking about?

I don't think anyone here was criticizing her bravery or commitment to duty.

I can play a decent game of basketball...but I'm only 5' 10".

Playing my heart out and doing all I can humanly possibly do doesn't qualify me to play in the NBA where the 6' 7" player is going to take me to the hoop all night long.

Protecting the former president isn't just about heart, bravery and commitment...it is ALSO about creating a human shield around the protectee. If Trump is 6' 2" and you are 5' 7", no amount of courage is going to fill that seven inches of gap in the shielding.
 
I give Trump credit for his gracious response to the secret service and for not supporting yet another dumb ass conspiracy theory

As for the female SS agent, everyone supported her bravery, but the woman is obviously too short and too weak to be an effective physical bodyguard

Yes, yes maybe she’s good at wielding a gun, but the SS assigned to direct
Bodyguard duty need to be physically big and strong enough to actually shield and protect a grown man

So is Trump full of crap in what he said?
 
lmao. Denying won't make it go away

Whatever.

People were on here (and in the media) going off on how the female agents were inept and shouldn't have been there as agents.

Trump disagree's. (as did his son)

Two different issues. Own it.

When someone puts their life before yours and interjects their body between yours and an assassin's bullets...you give that person respect and gratitude.

But that doesn't mean there weren't physically better suited agents for that detail...as was witnessed by Trump's agents at the RNC.

You have no idea how any of those people react if trouble starts.

One could always argue that maybe other officials wouldn't have abandoned their posts overlooking the roof also.

He was being gracious to the agents that protect him.

Fact is you don't protect a 6 ft 2 front with a 5.4 lesbian hired in the name of woke. That's it in a nutshell, not disputable, especially her height. Trumps just being a politician

Sure, it was the ladies fault. Not the two officers that left their post overlooking the roof. Obviously if she wasn't there they wouldn't have done that.

Irrelevant.

This isn't a participation level event.

It's results driven.

Her results in the bravery and competence department are high...but that doesn't magically make that height gap disappear.

If you're there to shield the President...you need to be physically capable of shielding ALL of him...not just from the armpit down.

This is just uncommon sense...which used to be more common before the 21st century.
 
No it isn't.
Yes, it is.

We don't make plans assuming the shooter will be stopped by the perimeter detail.

If we did, there would be no need for the human shield detail at all.

If you're not intelligent enough to understand this fact... You're not smart enough to advance an opinion on the topic.

The lady did her job. The officers placed to watch the roof did not.

A S.S. could have been 8 feet tall and they wouldn't have stopped the bullet. If the officers had remained in their post they could have.
