    So sad how much money is spent and how many people risk their lives to protect an orange man that has turned the country into a fascist habitat.

    pretty sure this video was vetted by the agency and the agent did tell em about this interview… like how most news media check with the government to confirm news, even if the 45 makes it harder to do so nowadays

    Must be weird living in a third world nation that has so much violence, missinformation among the populace and hatemongering there’s a legitimate threat of a leader being assassinated.

    0:10 The headline should have said “By CIA”. Because it’s pretty clear they were the ones who bumped him off because he wanted to get rid of them for constantly false flagging.

    Secret Service will also monitor the surrounding area of airports the US President is due to land in before he lands. They will also monitor air traffic control operations being done, if they see things are not going as expected they will take over operations. There are many things that go into the planning of their protectees not mentioned in this video. They are not “giving away information”.
