Protecting any high-profile individual comes with its own set of challenges, but when it comes to Donald Trump, the Secret Service has faced an uphill battle. With credible threats against him, the Secret Service had to take extra measures to ensure his safety. However, they were unable to prevent a bullet from grazing Trump at a campaign rally, leaving his team shocked and deeply concerned.
One of the main difficulties the Secret Service has faced in protecting Trump is the denial of requests for additional security resources. Trump’s team often found themselves at odds with the Secret Service when they deemed the venues not secure enough, resulting in the cancellation or rescheduling of events.
