Former President Donald Trump survived two assassination attempts in 2024, sparking major questions about security failures and foreign threats. Despite demands for answers, many details remain hidden, leaving Americans wondering who’s really behind these attacks.
In July 2024, a gunman named Thomas Crooks shot at Trump during a Pennsylvania rally. The Secret Service failed to stop Crooks even though he was on a roof near the stage. Crooks had encrypted apps from foreign countries on his phone, raising suspicions about who he might’ve been talking to.
Two months later, another shooter, Ryan Routh, tried to attack Trump at his Florida golf course. Routh had six cellphones in his car and bulletproof gear. The Secret Service spotted him just in time, but it’s unclear how he got so close. Why would a random guy need six phones?
Authorities still haven’t explained the motives behind either attack. Crooks researched past assassinations and flew a drone over the rally before striking. Routh’s trial is set for 2025, but many wonder if foreign groups like Iran were involved. Trump has warned Iran would face “obliteration” if they targeted him.
The FBI and Secret Service have been criticized for hiding information. Trump says he’s “entitled to know” why Crooks used foreign apps and why Routh had so many phones. Some lawmakers blame poor leadership, not funding, for the security failures.
Republicans in Congress are pushing for transparency, accusing the Biden administration of delaying reports. Meanwhile, Trump’s team is reviewing security plans to prevent future attacks. The lack of answers fuels concerns about deeper threats to American leaders.
Iran has openly threatened Trump since 2020, even releasing an animated video of his assassination. A new book claims Iran plotted to kill him during the 2024 campaign, forcing Trump to use decoy planes. His tough warnings aim to deter enemies, but the danger remains real.
With Trump back in office, Americans demand accountability. Why did it take so long to get details? Who funded these shooters? Until these questions are answered, many fear the next attack could succeed. The fight to protect our leaders is far from over.
