FOX News: President Trump no longer safe in White House: Former Secret Service agent
The president is no longer safe on the White House grounds, according to former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, who once guarded presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
Bongino made the stunning assessment in an interview Friday with Fox News. It followed an incident last Friday night when a man jumped the White House fence and may have roamed the property for as long as 15 minutes before he was stopped by the Secret Service.
Jonathan Tran, who carried two cans of mace, set off multiple alarms, Bongino said, and was even spotted by Secret Service officers, but was still able to come within “close proximity” of the White House and even reportedly “jiggled the door” to the executive mansion.

WNU Editor: When I read of security lapses like this .... Secret Service: White House jumper was captured after more than 15 minutes (CNN). More here .... White House intruder, 26, scaled the fence and eluded Secret Service officers for more than SIXTEEN MINUTES before he was found with two cans of mace (Daily Mail). And the this .... Secret Service laptop, pins, radio stolen (Politico). More here .... Laptop holding Trump Tower floor plans, Hillary Clinton email investigation info stolen from Secret Service agent (NYDaily News). Coupled this with an incredibly negative and disrespectful media that can only feed God knows what in the minds of those who are already disturbed and can be easily driven to the unthinkable .... one has to be worried. I mentioned after his election that as an outsider who has been given a mandate to "overturn" the system .... he is going to ruffle those who have been very happy with the status quo that existed under President Obama, and that he better triple his security detail. But apparently this has not happened.

Why so apologetic for the Trump presidency? disrespectful? One earns respect. Look at what he has said about so many in and out of our country and also world leaders! time to stop blaming the media. The transition is a disaster. The things he would do asap: move embassy? not done. Build wall and have Mexico pay>? not done. Dump Obama care? not done etc etc
as far as the secret service: their record under recent presidents is terrible. Begin by putting up a thick see through plastic wall around the white house, at least 8 feet tall. Have a few armed guards with dogs patrolling perimeter...
Fred. I am not apologising the Trump administration. I am just pointing how the media is covering the story, the massive amount of hatred from the left that is directed at the man who has just assumed the Presidency 7 weeks ago, and what appears to be a serious problem in providing proper security for the President. We are both old enough to remember what it was like when President Reagan assumed the Presidency .... Trump is definitely no Reagan .... but I am seeing the same hatred directed at Trump as it was when Reagan became President .... a hatred that culminated in a deranged man with a Jodie Foster fixation making the decision to try and kill him only 2 months into his administration.
Fred, kind of like Obama promised to close Gitmo asap....oh....wait...that never happened after 8 years did it? Trumps been in for 2 months. He's followed through on other promises already and I'm sure he'll check off the rest at some point.
Fred the 87 year old Rambo that threw out the Communist of Pusan himself ha ha. Does not seem like a likely candidate for the frequency and type of messages here.
Anon. Respect our seniors. My 91 year-old mother sometimes wants to know what I am blogging, and if she could (she just never got around to typing) .... would be posting comments on every post. :)
WNU,

The protection of the White House was a big issue during Obama presidency. The notion that we should not wall off the WH from the public in a democracy keeps that area vulnerable. There are no roving people with dogs on the lawn. The present wall is not high enough...there are snipers on roof, always, and they can be seen. Why had they not shot at wall jumper?
1. build tall wall of thick plastic so it is see through but too difficult to scale. Provide a group of roving foot people, with dogs, walking the perimeter. Not big deal needed for easy fix.
Get over it, there was a time where the fence wasn't there and people could walk right up to the white house. They didn't kill the president then!

We did not have flaming Leftists then.
Most assassins of presidents have been Leftist/Liberals
1) Lincoln assassin - John Wilkes Booth - Democrat/Leftist/Pro-Slavery/Racist
2) McKinley Assassin -Leon Czolgosz - Anarchist/Socialist/Libtard
"spent much of his time alone reading socialist and anarchist newspapers"
3)Roosevelt attempted assassin (killed Anton Cermak mayor of Chicago)
Giuseppe Zangara - Liberal
" “You give me electric chair. I no afraid of that chair! You one of capitalists..."
4) JFK - Lee Harvey Oswald - Communist/Liberal
5) Gerald Ford - Squeaky Fromme - Leftist/hippie
6) Reagan - Hinckley - ???
Fred, I agree with you on the wall/protection. Something needs to be done no matter who is the occupant of the White House. Something should have been done after the breach in 2009 (link below for those who have forgotten) but unfortunately, it looks like there are still some major lapses in security.

Ive gotta say security is poorly lacking at the white house.
A foreign hit squad of the calibre of the sas and Trump would be dead.
World is a different place now and threat assesments and precautions need to be adjusted accordingly.

Maybe the Secret Service is too politically correct and loves to ape its superiors.
Guarding people, who swing from chandeliers from years on end erodes morality.
Then there are other considerations. GWB would stay in the Whitehouse during Xmas. A dumb fuck like Obama is too stupid to stay in the Whitehouse. He treats the secret service like truckers and gets the same result.
An honest sociologist would prove my point.
The proof of the point is written everywhere.
