UPDATE: We Just Learned Why The Secret Service Whisked JD Vance Away Before President Trump

Now that we’ve had almost a full day to review everything after the THIRD (that we know about) assassination attempt on President Trump, one thing is jumping out to eagle-eyed viewers watching the clips from the shooting last night.

You probably noticed it too.

Watch below and you will see the Secret Service immediately whisks Vice President JD Vance away from the table, but it’s many seconds later before they get President Trump out of there.

So…is this more dereliction of duty by the Secret Service?

It could be, but President Trump himself has come out to refute that idea.

He says he personally told the Secret Service to wait so he could survey the situation.

🚨 NEW: President Trump explains the delay in him leaving the ballroom last night, saying he wanted to PERSONALLY survey the situation

“I wanted to see what was happening, and I wasn't making it that easy for [Secret Service]. I wanted to see what was going on!”

Backup here on Rumble if needed:

So there you have it….

Once again, our President and Commander-In-Chief is absolutely FEARLESS in the face of danger.

He is truly one of a kind.

Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth didn’t flinch or back down either….look at this absolute ALPHA in the face of danger:

Green Beret here.

This goes so far beyond politics.

The time of crisis is not when courage is developed.

It is when men are revealed as courageous.

Or exposed as cowards.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth was locked in.
