    Maybe Trump should hire "the best people" for his security team.
  • @FrankGallagherr
    Trump needs to 10X his security with people he trusts and not the governments security

  • @ParticleLarry
    Why was Trump targeted and what other government officials who were also targeted ?
  • @V.IMassive
    If he came across the border, how he's going to clear customs on the airport?
  • @PaulMarceau
    I am not surprised, More attempts won't surprise me either.
  • How did he enter the United States ,” you left that out. The Border ?
  • @MatthewNGolding
    "We were tracking him, don't believe it's connected, but we arrested him anyway...that line, 😂, he's a Pakistan national," coincidentally, the same day an air base was attacked in Iraq, although Iraq is refuting claims it was struck, or anyone was injured...🤦🏼‍♂️.
  • @PerceptionCue
    They should be arresting their own, that's where it comes from.
  • @eddie-xr6mn
