In yet another instance of President Trump’s life being put in danger, a man dressed in black attempted to scale the White House fence on the South Grounds on Wednesday. The incident was captured on video by stunned onlookers, including witness David Stanley.
According to reports, the man uttered an expletive before beginning his climb, seemingly unfazed by the potential consequences of his actions.
“F*** it,” the individual was heard saying, as recorded by Stanley, moments before he began his ascent of the wrought-iron fence surrounding the building.
The Secret Service’s response was immediate – thankfully for Trump. Uniformed officers, rooftop snipers, and K9 units converged on the scene with remarkable speed, earning them comparisons to “undercover ninjas” from impressed observers on social media.
“Not today, buddy,” the Secret Service could be heard saying, according to witnesses.
The intruder’s attempt was short-lived. Upon reaching the top of the fence, he appeared to hesitate, possibly deterred by the approaching security forces and their canine companions. In a moment that seemed to encapsulate the futility of his endeavor, the man chose to descend the fence rather than continue his ill-conceived mission.
Online Reaction and Security Concerns
As news of the incident spread, it quickly became a topic of intense online discussion. Many social media users drew parallels between the failed fence-climbing attempt and scenes from the popular video game Grand Theft Auto, known for its depictions of outlandish criminal activities.
“We see you’re making progress, but your efficiency is lacking,” one commenter humorously attributed to the Secret Service.
While the incident provided fodder for online humor, it also raised serious questions about White House security. The speed at which the man was able to scale the fence was alarming, and additional reports revealed that two spikes on the fence appeared to fold under the intruder’s weight.
Is it time for the Secret Service to ramp up security?
After two failed assassination attempts and multiple other instances like this, whereby men have attempted to gain access to the President’s private properties as well as the White House, it might be time for them to do more.
And it’s probably time the left-wing media stops lying about the President’s intentions and putting him under constant threat of being killed.
This didn’t happen to President Obama, did it? Ask yourself why.
