The last time I was with President Trump the Secret Service guy wouldn’t let me put my arm around President Trump’s back.
It’s a natural reaction to put your hand behind a person’s back when you take a picture. And three times while taking pictures with Trump, I accidentally did it. In each of the times, the SS agent warned me.
Keep in mind, to even get in the room to be near the former president took an act of Congress. I had submitted my paperwork weeks in advance, though I had met with Trump before and been through the screening process multiple times. It didn’t matter; because safety is the order of the day,
Thus, 
no hand behind the back while taking pictures.
At the last event where I was with the president, it was packed with fans. Trump’s attorney was there, and the “glitz” crowd of donors. Nobody there would do Trump harm and in fact many would have jumped on a grenade to save the man’s life. But no hand behind the back of the president when taking a picture, I was warned. Multiple times.
Wow, what a level of protection these guys gave to President Trump in a room full of people willing to protect him at all costs. But let President Trump do a rally or play a round of golf and the Secret Service doesn’t know whether to scratch their watch or wind their asses.
Is there a mole?
In this video, a man described as the Former Assistant FBI Director admits that they don’t know how Routh, the assassin knew of Donald Trump’s schedule.
🚨 WOW: Former assistant FBI Director says Ryan Routh made have had INSIDE INFORMATION on Trump’s private schedule
This is a terrifying thought.
Especially given Trump’s golf outing was a “last minute decision.”
Florida must investigate—not the FBI.

I almost didn’t get in
At the aforementioned event, I flew into Florida, rented my car, and got checked into my hotel. I then drove to Mar-a-Lago for the event where I was to see President Trump.
I arrived at the checkpoint for Mar-a-Lago, and was stopped by security. Standard procedure. They checked the list, and didn’t find my name. I had flown a long way to be denied entry. Moreover, I know I was registered, as I had been invited by the organizer. To add insult, I had been screened multiple times by the Secret Service for each time I met with Trump. But still my name didn’t appear on the approved list.
I finally got ahold of the organizer (and friend) who came out to security to get me cleared. Once cleared there, we entered Mar-a-Lago to be greeted by more screening, even with no Trump in sight. Security performed a TSA-like screening of everybody who entered.
My point to explaining this is to show you how difficult it is to get anywhere near President Trump, generally speaking. And this is for patriots who openly and eagerly support the man.
If I were an assassin, things would be easier
It seems that if one really wants to do President Trump harm, then be a Trump hater. The last two notable Trump haters got within a rifle shot of the man. At the event I described, nobody knew for certain if Trump would show. We suspected as much, given the nature of the security. And you can bet we weren’t given the exact time he would arrive, and so on.
In another situation involving my interaction with Trump’s team, I was approached by the campaign a while back about doing some opening comedy at a few Trump rallies. That was the closest I got to knowing the president’s schedule in advance, as we worked out the places where I could potentially perform.
Nothing came of it, so I thought nothing of it. Certainly I wouldn’t have mentioned the location, if asked. But I was aware of a big rally that hadn’t been made public. Still, something that size likely meant that many people were in the know.
So it’s not impossible to learn some things in advance. But golfing?
I’m certain that the president keeps this part of his schedule under wraps. As a golfer, I can tell you that most of us want few distractions from an already tough game. Your fighting the course and yourself out there. I bet Melania doesn’t even know when and where her husband golfs most of the time. So who revealed Trump’s schedule?
The people who are supposed to protect him haven’t exactly been exemplary. One would think that after one assassination attempt, the Secret Service would be much more vigilant in protecting Trump. Just saying. Let’s hope they find that mole. Maybe it’s the same person who dropped the cocaine at Biden’s White House?
