1. somebody was trying to cut expenses and save money. wonder what somebody nt

[Rhiannon12866]

2. I think we all know who that might be...

[Diraven]

5. Probably because

Trump's campaigns have a reputation for promising to pay local police for security costs and then stiffing them.

15. Trump finds a way to cheat and steal from everyone.

Probably his own security team budget too.

3. Yep doing it on the cheap

[sheshe2]

4. He never pays his bills to the cities that hold his events.

His high class attendees leave a ton of trash behind.

Guess you get what you pay for in terms of security.

[Rhiannon12866]

7. We know that he still owes cities across the country - so why do more cities accept his "business??"

And agree, security has always been a low priority - and cost has been the reason he chooses outdoor venues.

6. I've been expecting to start hearing about the behind the scene chaos and disorder

That is who they are Along with being cheap, careless and irresponsible.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. Agreed, and we know he never pays his bills, he believes they should be honored just to have his presence there

9. Well....so much for securing a crime scene....

No one took control..... It was shameful.....post the gunman's actions I refer...

Crime scene was never, ever secured....even with the gunman's rooftop post termination of gunman did not appear secured...

The podium stage also was ignored per my view of video clips...

I hope this comes out in the FBI Investigation.

10. So much for the "crime scene" - sounds like they're hoping from "clues" from the public...

[FarPoint]

11. They were not prepared via planning at all...

that is how it appeared to me....Secret Service did what they could to protect the asset post gunfire...securing the venue...not so much....some of that could of come from tRumps own orders as he did in DC speech on January 6th???? Remember...he let his supports have guns...

Maybe this event will make him review this poor decision.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. Supposedly there were magnetometers to prevent guns being brought into the rally site

(Like the ones preventing guns being brought into the Capitol which TFG wanted turned off on January 6th.) So the shooter just didn't enter the rally site, took his high velocity shot(s) from "next door." And we know that, despite the increasing rash of mass shootings, Republicans refuse to even prohibit these dangerous "weapons of war."

13. The MAGA republicans have lived in this atmosphere of violence, hate rhetoric

for so long...it is their normal now....unable to utilize or access critical thinking skills...

The tRump gas-lighting day in and day out, attack any suspected enemy with violence including that violent rhetoric being directed at their families... terror only begets more terror...

Biden will win in November...I feel it....time for the clock pendulum to swing back the other way now...

[Rhiannon12866]

14. The phrase "turnabout is fair play" comes to mind

TFG's statements since he first announced his inappropriate candidacy in 2015 have rapidly escalated regarding inciting violence. He's intentionally promoted violence on anyone he's perceived as an "enemy," manly Democrats, but any in his own party who he believes haven't been sufficiently "loyal" - to him, not the Republican party. And now he and his minions are shocked that his message was finally turned against him.

And I also believe that President Biden will be reelected in November. TFG has lost the people's vote by significantly more each time he ran - and I can't imagine that an even greater percentage of the American people are sick to death of his message of chaos and inciting violence.

16. Well I finally saw a crime scene in Butler Pa.

at the Farm Show Rally....it is now preserved with tape up....much later after the fact...but it is done now.
