Worse, we later learned, if DEI-loving Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle had provided Trump with adequate security at the rally and allowed agents to guard the rooftop where Crooks was shot , then this incident would not have happened.

Trump expressed confusion about why he was allowed on stage even though he knew there was suspicious activity.
“When you have a flat, open roof like this…how could anyone be up there?” Trump asked. “They (the Secret Service) saw him but didn’t report him.”
“If they said wait five, 10, 15, 20 minutes because we might have a problem… I hope someone would do that because Corey is still alive,” he added.
