Donald Trump, former US president and a convicted felon, was shot at his rally on Saturday. Though Donald Trump closely escaped the shooting, a secret service agent now seems to have taken a hit to her reputation. A video of a Secret Service agent who was at the Donald Trump rally is going viral with many making fun of her for not being able to put her gun back into the holster. An edit of her video that features a voiceover in the fake voice of British ecologist David Attenborough is now raking in likes.
The voice-over says, “After Secret Service Barbie, a trained member of Secret Service, removes the weapon from its holster for the very first time in her career, she struggles to return her pea shooter as though it’s her first day on the job . Fortuitously, her skill from another life as an amateur actress came into play allowing her to convincingly mimic the swift draw of the weapon and scan the horizon for threats. Chewing her gum nonchalantly she exudes a tacti-cool demeanour, reminiscent of a fusion between the Blues Brothers and Rosie O’Donnell. Despite her efforts, our agent’s attempts to return her cordless hole punch to its home resulted in another failure. While she may have failed at this task she looked while doing it.”
Many people are seeing the video as proof of the said agent’s incompetence. An X user wrote, “Yeah… There aren’t really words. Also, after they get Trump in the car, the first thing one of them does is put on her sunglasses and then pretend to do something meaningful by looking around randomly. Clearly no pattern, algorithm or plan in where she’s looking. And I doubt she’d know what to do if she actually saw something.”

Another person said, “Isn’t there a basement somewhere, anywhere, that has a backlog of boxes full of papers that needs to be digitally chronicled?? The agent should not have any contact with the public, nor should she be allowed around weapons again.”

Someone else commented, “I have the same problem trying to find the cup holder with my coffee cup while I’m driving. It never seems to be where it’s supposed to be. Maybe her holster needs to be in front of that other thingamajig that was on her belt that she kept trying to put her gun in.”

The United States Secret Service is a law enforcement agency that conducts criminal investigations and protects US political leaders, their families and visiting heads of state or government. Since 1965, the Secret Service also protects a former president and his/her spouse during their lifetime, unless they decline protection.
