Secret Service now encouraging Trump to stop doing outdoor rallies

This isn’t about his safety

It’s b/c the Biden regime wants him to stop holding giant rallies that show his popularity

And now they’re kind of threatening him

“Don’t have huge rallies…or you might get hurt”

[LMAO]

I have a better idea

How about hiring a  more competent Secret Service?

[Maj. Bill Martin]

Are they going to keep Jill Biden from large outdoor events too?

Works for me.

Former President Donald Trump plans to stop holding outdoor rallies like the one where he was shot during an assassination attempt this month in Butler, Pennsylvania, according to two sources familiar with his campaign’s operations.

The sources said current plans are to hold indoor rallies, but they also said it's possible Trump will participate in smaller outdoor events or larger rallies in facilities where entrances are more fully controlled and there are not issues with high ground nearby, like stadiums.

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung declined to comment on Trump’s security measures and referred questions to the Secret Service.

A spokesperson for the Secret Service did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday night.

News of the shift in venues comes the day the director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, announced her resignation. In her resignation letter, Cheatle said she took “full responsibility for the security lapse” in Pennsylvania.
