Tucker Carlson has taken the gripping tale of Donald Trump’s first assassination attempt and turned it into a front-page shocker that leaves many questions about the competence of his security detail. Newly released footage from the July 13 incident in Butler, Pennsylvania, paints a picture of chaos and alarming negligence. Attendees at the event were quick to notice a man with a gun, yet inexplicably, the Secret Service sat by as the situation spiraled out of control.
The shooter turned out to be nothing more than an unhinged individual perched on a roof—hardly the covert operative one might expect in such a scenario. This as-yet-unknown would-be assassin was able to fire off eight shots, ultimately killing fireman Corey Comperatore and injuring two others. Witnesses reported seeing the frantic crowd reacting to the unfolding horror but were left wondering how this man managed to evade detection under such supposedly tight security.

Carlson’s latest footage forms part of his upcoming documentary, “Art of the Surge: the Donald Trump Comeback.” As the cameras rolled, witnesses recounted their disbelief that a weapon could infiltrate a supposedly secure location. The shocking facts of this case have left viewers questioning the abilities of the Secret Service, with one representative expressing amazement that Trump was mere centimeters away from disaster.
Indeed, this was not the first attempt on Trump’s life; just two months later, another gunman made a move on the former president at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida. This pattern emphasizes a worrying trend that sounds alarm bells about the level of threat faced by political figures and the ability of their protection teams to address such risks preemptively.
It’s disconcerting to think what might have happened had a more skilled assailant—perhaps one with ties to hostile regimes—been behind the trigger that day. The footage adds to growing evidence that the Secret Service’s performance on that summer day was nothing short of catastrophic. The quest for answers continues as Trump supporters assess not only the unfortunate reality of the assassination attempts but also the reliability of the organizations tasked with his protection. Facts like this only intensify the necessity of ensuring our leaders are adequately defended against those who wish them harm.
