    Yeah but he’s having in a smaller indoor venue. Small town, odd choice. Can’t see a big turnout.

    It’s kinda ironic that Trump’s rally got canceled due to security issues; maybe he should’ve thought about that before pushing for big events when resources are stretched so thin.

  3. As much as I hate Trump, and as much as I believe that so many things will improve once he’s gone, I want for him to be well-protected. I’m convinced that if he loses the election, especially if it’s a landslide, we’ll see him slowly disappear from the news and other areas of our daily lives.

    However, if an assassin ever succeeds, we’d never hear the end of those assholes (his supporters) turning Trump into some sort of legendary hero. And he’d never get what he really deserves – which is to lose the election by a big margin, and continue moving forward with his criminal trials. I want to see Trump have to deal with yet another humiliating defeat.

  4. why doesn’t he just buy his own private security? not that long ago he hated the secret service and didn’t want them anywhere near him – he wanted taxpayers to foot the bill for his own private security and that’s stupid but why doesn’t he just pay out of pocket for private or get the RNC to pay for it? It’s so weird because he doesn’t even like the secret service. or the government, or the military.

    Trump doesn’t need more SS protection.

    If thoughts and prayers are enough for our kids, its good enough for him

  6. It’s unclear to me whether the Secret Service can say, Mr. Trump, you may not hold this rally. That would be forcing him to cancel. If, on the other hand, the Trump campaign chooses not to hold the rally because they feel protection is inadequate, that is not being forced in any way. Which is it?

  7. Pro second amendment party’s president nominee is forced to not rally due to fears of being shot

    I want off this shitty planet already

    I’m sure the people of Wisconsin are grateful to the Secret Service for sparing them the incoherent ramblings of Orange PaPaw Poopy Pants.

    Why does this billionaire have to rely on the secret service? I fully don’t understand it. Why doesn’t he have his own security?

  10. The secret service must be exhausted at this point. Weekly out door rallies needing extensive prep.

  11. lol. And he can’t afford the indoor venues and they won’t take an IOU after he stiffed them several times.

    Honestly can’t imagine how exhausting it would be to be a secret service member who has to watch out for Trump. They should get double hazard pay because he’s an extra risk on everything because he has no idea how to shut up and think before he speaks.

  13. no one wants to sign up for trump protection services LOL. Trump still owes Wisconsin a ton of money from his previous rallies dating back to 2016. Where is the money Donald? Where is the money? Pay us back or no votes for you! Simple as.

    So the “never back down” man can’t stand up without people protecting him?

    The same ra_ist who “triumphantly” raised his fist after an “assassination attempt?”

    That guy?

    SCOTUS will use this as one of the reasons Trump wasn’t given a fair shake. It will be one of many they will use to rewrite this election. I have no idea how this ends but SCOTUS will most certainly play a role.

  16. He prefers outdoor rallies because the venues are cheaper. He was warned repeated that they’re harder to secure. This almost cost him his life and he still continues to use outdoor venues. This is a problem entirely of his own creation.

    It’s also one that costs us a *lot* of money. Every time we need more secret service to protect him it costs you and I money. And every time it’s at one of his own properties he reaches into our pockets and steals some of that money by charging extortion fees for golf carts and hotel rooms.

    It never, ever ends with this guy, it’s just this huge snowball grift that just keeps rolling and rolling.

  17. Hey, if the American people have to pay this 34x convicted felon’s security detail, let’s put him in prison, it’ll be a lot cheaper AND there’s a huge decrease in the potential fall of democracy. Win win!

    He’s a billionaire. Let him get his own private security. Maybe his governor out there in Florida can lend him some of his.

    That’s what they’re telling you rather than because he can’t get enough people to attend.
