White House considering bulletproof vest for Trump after third assassination attempt: report
Share this @internewscast.com

In light of three assassination attempts on President Trump over the past two years, the White House is reportedly considering implementing heightened security protocols. Among the options on the table is the possibility of the president wearing a bulletproof vest during public appearances.

Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy recently revealed that high-level discussions are underway concerning enhanced protective measures for the president. The conversations are reportedly focusing on whether President Trump should don a bulletproof vest at future public events to ensure his safety.

These discussions come after President Trump has endured three serious threats to his life, each from armed individuals. One particularly alarming incident nearly resulted in a fatal injury, with a would-be assassin’s bullet narrowly missing the president’s head.

The most recent threat unfolded during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, DC. As the event took place at the Washington Hilton, an individual identified as Cole Allen attempted to breach security. He engaged Secret Service agents in a gunfight, in which one agent was hit but fortunately protected by body armor.

Prior to the attack, Allen had sent a manifesto to his family, which was later handed over to Connecticut police and obtained by The Post. In his message, Allen expressed his intent to target not only President Trump but also other administration officials.

Following the chaotic scene, Allen was subdued and taken into custody. The injured Secret Service agent is expected to make a full recovery, thanks to the life-saving protection of their body armor.

The president was also targeted by gunmen twice during the 2024 presidential campaign.

On July 13, lone gunman Thomas Crooks grazed the president’s ear, killed a beloved firefighter and critically wounded two other Trump supporters when he opened fire on the president from a rooftop during a campaign stop in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Crooks was killed when Trump’s security detail fired back.

Two months later, Ryan Routh camped out for 12 hours in a sniper’s nest with an SKS assault rifle on the edge of Trump International West Palm Beach golf club as then-candidate Trump was playing the links.

Routh was sentenced to life in prison in February.

The Post has reached out to the White House about the security measures.
