Last night, at the White House Correspondents Dinner, another lefty tried to assassinate Trump. Here's a good summary of the threat.
Everyone is overlooking the most chilling detail regarding last night’s third assassination attempt on POTUS.
The shooter at the DC correspondents diner was identified as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, from California. part-time teacher/tutor. Teacher of the Month in December 2024 at C2 Education. BS Mechanical Engineer, Master in Computer Science, video game developer. Donated to Kamala in 2024.
This dude has a background (so far) as normal as it gets...
He was just some ordinary schlub who traveled across the country to attack POTUS. No surveillance system in the world, with the possible exception of the KGB under Stalin, could have detected and prevented the attack.
When it was recently revealed that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) had been funding hate groups like the KKK and Nazis, the SPLC came up with the cockamamie excuse that they were funding "informants" within these organizations to detect possible threats against their employees. That was obvious nonsense.
With a pool of possible assailants of 360,000,000 or so people, there is no surveillance scheme in the world, save again for Stalin's, that could protect you from every possible threat. That's why wealthy and vulnerable people hire bodyguards and pay for protection systems. Keeping yourself safe is a solvable problem because you always know where you are and where you are going. Trying to detect every possible random attack vector before they strike is idiotic.
There isn't anywhere near enough white supremacy in America to justify the rivers of cash pouring into the SPLC so the SPLC went out and funded the hate it was trying to fight, generating incidents it could then use in its marketing campaigns.
Even with all the security afforded a president, this guy broke through. If it were you trying to keep him safe, what would you do, review the security policies surrounding Trump or focus on nationwide surveillance campaigns sufficient to stop any threat?
While it is true that surveillance, informers, and infiltration of groups of potential plotters won't stop all assassination attempts, if you look at the list of presidential assassination attempts, it looks like it does stop a good number of them - I would say about a third.

There are actually a lot more attempts listed than I remember hearing about at the time. The number appears to have increased during the Clinton administration - 5 on Clinton, 2 on G.W. Bush, 13 on Obama, 3 on Biden, and Trump looks to hold some sort of record, with at least 17 attempts so far. One guy even tried to kill him with a forklift[1], which is weirdly impressive. I mean, practically zero chance of success, but 10/10 for originality.

Yes, they do intercept many, but they also have all the financial power of the US behind them. The SPLC could never have hoped to have been able to intercept all possible assailants. As an analogy, the guys at the Daily Wire like Ben Shaprio and Matt Walsh don't waste any money infiltrating anyone. They just buy defensive screening systems and people.
