Why didn’t the Secret Service take any action? How could they be sure that the incident was innocuous? President Trump was facing a gaggle of reporters and fielding a question on Friday about Gaza when a reporter bumped his face with a boom microphone. The reporter immediately says “I’m so sorry,” but Trump pauses and gives her a long, intense look. It was an embarrassing accident by a clumsy reporter, and that’s that, right? Well, maybe. Or maybe not. It was a simple mistake, a trivial matter. And yet some people pointed out the obvious: what if it was something more insidious than that? Utah’s outspoken Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) asked: “Was the microphone jab intentional?” One commenter on X said: “Maybe it was laced with poison? That was so odd.” Another added: “The boom mike operator did not look Bulgarian; yet Trump could be checked for any traces of radioactive isotopes or signs of ricin, IF an abundance of caution was in play. On a serious note, there should be NO close contact with the president nor his breathing space (HCN).” In the same vein, another said: “Here’s what I don’t understand. What if that boom was poisoned. Like fentynol [sic] or something else. Why didn’t secret service immediately take the boom and person responsible and rush the president to safety?? I mean anything is possible with everything going on. Truly worrisome.” Indeed, why didn’t the Secret Service take any action? How could they be sure that the incident was innocuous? The media has ready and easy access to President Trump, who has already survived two assassination attempts. How carefully is their equipment checked before they get close to him? How carefully are the journalists themselves searched? These days the rhetoric of the left, always incendiary, has become hysterical in its rage ... Is it really inconceivable that some far-left ideologue who got a job in one of the left’s propaganda organs would seize upon an opportunity to end the life of the man whom the left portrays as the mortal enemy of all that is good? Even if the boom mic incident on Friday was a complete accident, and entirely innocuous, it indicates what could happen, and could happen all too easily. It should be taken seriously on that basis. Trusted personnel in the Secret Service need to undertake a fast and thorough review of the security procedures for journalists who get to speak to the president face to face. Those procedures need to be tightened up. Immediately. https://worldisraelnews.com/journo-bumps-trump-with-boom-mic-what-was-that-all-about/
