Trump is not responsible for his security though, secret service is. Would think that those guys would know to not wear random trackers with them
Pretty sure the secret service is responsible for protecting Trump. The rest of his campaign security is the job of the campaign, which is famously cheap.
And it's in the Secret Service's interest to have certain rules for any additional security operating an an event they're responsible for protecting. That's literally their job...
I'm not sure if it's still valid, but there was that whole debacle where he fired every secret service agent except for ones that backed him politically.
Would you think those guys would know to do something about a dude on a roof with a rifle?
Maybe, having worked closely enough with Trump to have an even better idea of who he is than most, it was a choice rather than incompetence.
