Trump Assassination Attempt: ‘I Alerted US Secret Service Before Attack But Was Ignored,’ Witness Says

July 14, 2024
NEWS

The witness told the BBC that after 5 to 7 minutes of Trump speaking, he saw a man with a rifle crawling up the roof of the building on the side which was apparently 50 feet away from them.
A witness has revealed that he spotted the gunman on the roof at Donald Trump's Pennsylvania rally and tried to alert the Secret Service some minutes before the shooting.

Despite his repeated attempts to point out the shooter, the Secret Service seemingly ignored his warnings, and the assassination attempt went ahead.

The witness told the BBC that after 5 to 7 minutes of Trump speaking, he saw a man with a rifle crawling up the roof of the building on the side which was apparently 50 feet away from them.

He said he along with other people started pointing to the man who was carrying a rifle and that they even pointed it out to the police who were there to guard Trump and maintain control but they were ignored and no action was taken until the shooter fired a shot.

The witness told the BBC, “We noticed the guy crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50 feet away from us. He had a rifle; we could clearly see him with a rifle.

“Next thing you know, I’m thinking to myself why is Trump still speaking? Why have they not pulled him off the stage?

“They didn’t know what was going on. I thought to myself why is Trump still speaking and why has the security not pulled him off the stage?

“I was standing there pointing at the shooter for 2-3 minutes and the Secret Service was looking at us from the top of the barn and I kept pointing at the roof. Next thing I know, shots were fired.”

The witness told the BBC that he saw the Secret Service kill the gunman he had seen on the roof.

He said, “They blew his head off. They (Secret Service) crawled up on the roof. They had their guns pointed at him to make sure he was dead. He was dead. And that was it. It was over.”

Trump Assassination Attempt: Elon Musk Calls For US Secret Service Director’s Resignation

July 14, 2024
NEWS

Musk, who made the call in a post on his X account, in another post said that Secret Service’s failure to detect Trump’s attacker earlier before he fired shots was either because of extreme incompetence or a deliberate act.

Billionaire businessman and Chief Executive Officer of microblogging social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), Elon Musk, on Sunday called for the resignation of the US Secret Service Director, Kimberly Cheatle, over the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

Musk, who made the call in a post on his X account, in another post said that Secret Service’s failure to detect Trump’s attacker earlier before he fired shots was either because of extreme incompetence or a deliberate act.

The owner of X also publicly endorsed Trump's 2024 presidential bid and expressed wishes for his swift recovery following the attack, stating his full support for his candidacy.

In one X post, Musk wrote, “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery.”

In another post in response to an X user who questioned how a sniper with a full rifle kit was allowed to crawl onto the closest roof close to a presidential nominee, Musk said, “Extreme incompetence or it was deliberate. Either way, the SS (Secret Service) leadership must resign.”

In another post where he reacted to a trending video of a witness who told the BBC how he and some others spotted the shooter and alerted the Secret Service but were ignored, Musk said, “The head of the Secret Service and the leader of this security detail should resign.”

SaharaReporters earlier reported that the US House Oversight Committee, a key investigative body, had summoned the Secret Service Director, Kimberly Cheatle, to testify at a hearing scheduled for July 22 on the Trump assassination attempt.

In a statement, the committee emphasised that the public needs information and clarity on this matter, stating, "Americans demand answers about the assassination attempt of President Trump.”

US House Committee Investigates Trump Shooting, Summons Secret Service Director

During the incident, Trump suffered a gunshot wound to the ear and was visibly injured, with blood seen dripping from his face but the shooter was shot dead by the Secret Service.

I have said it earlier, this whole attacked could be staged by trump team for obvious reason

A sniper bullet grazed his ear and there was no obvious cut on that ear, lol 😂😂
According to multiple reports, the snipers that down the shooter had a clear view of the building where the shooter was, how come they didn't see him earlier, how come they allowed him take shots after shots before he was killed.
Americans are already asking the obvious question on twitter

Divine Intervention


A.F. Branco Cartoon – Many say it had to be divine intervention that protected President Trump on the day he was nearly assassinated. A half of an inch and the hope of him being our next president would have been over in a flash.

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò Statement on Assassination Attempt on President Donald Trump: We Are Deeply Grateful to Our Lord Who Saved This Brave Warrior
By Margaret Flavin – July 16, 2024

The Gateway Pundit reported that Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò was summoned to the Vatican to be excommunicated by Red Pope Francis.
Pope Francis is clearly threatened by Archbishop Viganò because he is a true friend of the faithful and totally dedicated to the Church and sharing the word of Jesus Christ.

Archbishop Viganò has also been outspoken against the destruction of the Church, COVID mandates, and stolen elections. He has called out the current Pope for his destructive actions against the Church.

He has warned about the World Economic Forum. For this, he was excommunicated from the Holy Catholic Church. Read More…

Any thinking person who saw where the assassin was knows this is the truth. Zero smart people believe the BS about a sloped roof. A 20-year-old, psychotic kid managed to stay up there just fine. Are you telling me a secret service agent or police officer can't do what an untrained young adult managed?

The Media Did It
Tom Stiglich July 17, 2024



The Biden administration, Democrats, and their reliably partisan puppets in the media have been calling Trump the most dangerous thing since Hitler. "A danger to Democracy," “A threat to democracy," "Hitler," "fascist," "dictator"…

They made their flawed case and a troubled young man believed their BS.

That's why.

Nothing to See Here
Tom Stiglich July 18, 2024



Cheatle's refusal to resign will be short-lived. The Secret Service knew about Crooks (the assassin) a full hour before he fired a single shot. There were four counter-sniper teams at the rally.

The two most glaring problems are that the Secret Service designated Crook’s rooftop as an issue DAYS before the event and didn’t put anyone up there. They say the roof was slanted so it wasn’t safe. Crooks thought it worked just fine. And that they identified a threat 60 minutes before the shooting and did not keep Trump from going on stage.

The service is inept and made so by a culture that allows it. The USSS must be led by a hardcore badass who does NOT tolerate failure. The current director is too soft for the job and she just proved it.

Cheatle must go.
