Obama’s death threats
Barack Obama — the FIRST Black president in American history — faced a level of death threats that the Secret Service themselves described as unprecedented. Threats poured in from white supremacists, domestic terrorists, and unhinged racists from Day ONE. And yet, for 8 full years, the Secret Service kept him safe. Eight years. Barely a serious incident.
Now enter Donald Trump. A man with 10x the security apparatus, a fully loyal DOJ, and the full resources of the most powerful government on earth watching over him, and the Secret Service has fumbled the ball not once, not twice, but MULTIPLE TIMES. The Butler, PA assassination attempt alone was described by a Senate investigation as a "cascade of failures" ignored warnings, no drones in the air, no operations plan shared with local law enforcement, agents with zero advanced planning experience given critical roles. "Stunning failures," they called it.
Funny how convenient all of this keeps being.
And now, DAYS after a shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Trump's own DOJ is demanding that a historic preservation group DROP their lawsuit against his $400 MILLION ballroom project by 9am Monday morning. They're using a shooting as a pressure campaign to kill a legal challenge. A federal judge had already halted above-ground construction, ruling Trump appeared to be circumventing the courts by labeling a vanity project a "national security necessity."
A ballroom. On top of a bunker. Funded by private donors. At the White House.
You know who else built a grand ballroom on top of a fortified underground bunker?
Hitler. Literally.
Hitler added a massive ballroom to the Reich Chancellery in 1933, used to impress party loyalists and foreign dignitaries above ground, while running state operations and hiding below. Historians and architects have noted the parallels between Trump's East Wing project and Hitler's Chancellery are not subtle.
It’s possible that the attempts on Trump are genuine, but the PATTERN is worth questioning. Because when Barack Obama (a man who received death threats every single day for 8 years) was kept safe with far fewer "incidents," but a president with every institutional advantage keeps almost getting shot... you have to ask who benefits every single time it happens.
