Really, this is more Trump cheapness that he does not have his own security to fill out the more limited cover the SS provide non-sitting presidents. But this is a hallmark of narcissism, they have a very limited sense of personal danger. Illusory courage. The same guy didn't provide his own wealthy and frail mother a minder to go with her to the store etc. Then she eventully got mugged by an Italian kid, fell and suffered brain damage. My mom's family have always provided a driver / security to my grandaunt / others, it is what wealthy families do. Driving Miss Daisy etc.
Would-be Trump assassin ID’d as Ryan Routh, 58, of Hawaii: sources https://nypost.com/2024/09/15/us-ne...assin-idd-as-ryan-routh-58-of-hawaii-sources/ (Lengthy article with pictures.) At the end: Routh was a supporter of Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley, according to one of his posts in which he encouraged the Republican presidential candidates to continue their races. “You cannot quit. Why. You must stay on the ballot to the end. You must fight. You must continue giving speeches and push all the way to election day no matter the election results. Do not give in. Join Nikki and keep working. Never give up,” he wrote to Ramaswamy.
Fond memories but we want him to lose and then prison. Can you guys ask him to stop provoking Republicans? We don't have a lot of sway with Ramaswamy supporters.
What is pretty clear by the overall reaction of MAGA is you guys know he is fucked and are seeing Trump getting killed as a way out of eating crow. This can't happen. We must protect Trump from disappointed Republicans.
