Why wasn't TFG escorted to an undisclosed location?

[MiHale]

No mention of it that I’ve ever seen. Even when a president refuses there’s usually some kinda story about it.
Wouldn’t have been prudent AS THE CAPITOL WAS BEING ATTACKED to move your most important asset to a safe location?
Come on he’s afraid of being hit by flying tomatoes why wasn’t he quaking in his elevator shoes?
He KNEW he was in no danger.

1. because no one was willing to dare separate Trump from his constant Fox tv feed AND

the hog trough in the adjoining Presidential dining room.

[malaise]

2. Because he was never in danger

It was his coup.
What is more is that the fool never thought it would fail or he would have done just that for cover.
He is a sloppy Slobfather.

[MiHale]

5. IMO that's one more sign of guilt...

All the fingers are pointing in only one direction.

[malaise]

18. As we say

Correct is right😀

[Irish_Dem]

3. It was discussed here soon after 1/6.

Why didn't the Secret Service move Trump to a safe undisclosed location?

Because the SS knew that Trump was absolutely in no danger.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

4. Because the White House is not close to the Capitol.

Okay, globally speaking, it is, but if you're walking from one to the other, it's going to take a while.

[relayerbob]

15. Irrelevant

If it had been an attack by an unknown enemy, they would not have known who was out there, and he would have been taken away or in the bunker. That would be standard Secret Service protocol, and he would not have had a choice in the matter. They knew Trump was in no danger, since he was the one directing the show.

32. +1

[LeftInTX]

28. Maybe SS wanted to, but Trump refused.

I certainly don't think Secret Service was in on the plot...

[relayerbob]

43. I disagree

He had hand-picked his SS agents and bodyguards, I guarantee they knew ... they warned Pence

[Goonch]

6. Good point.

[FailureToCommunicate]

20. THAT'S his "dance" that sticks in my mind, not the pathetic moves at other rallies.

[bucolic_frolic]

7. He was already in a place of protected delusion

[Buns_of_Fire]

8. His only danger was being overcome with butt-smoochies.

Luckily, there's enough butt there to accommodate the multitudes.

[doc03]

9. I believe he manged to corrupt the Secret Service agency just like everything else.

Whoever ran his detail knew what was planned.

[2naSalit]

10. The Biden's were shuffled off to a secure location when a ...

Small plane entered the airspace by where they were. It was mentioned they were in no danger but precautions were taken.

[Blue Owl]

11. It was all designed and directed by his red right doll-hand

[agingdem]

25. right

he was never in danger..this was his show..written, produced, directed, starring Donald Trump...

[niyad]

12. We remember that he was taken to the bunker for a perceived threat some months

earlier, a threat that did not include an armed mob. . .

[keithbvadu2]

16. What does the bunker look like?

[niyad]

17. Thank you!

[housecat]

31. Excellent!

[BidenRocks]

34. Since HIS mob was mostly white,

He was not afraid.
Now BLM? That's different!

[niyad]

39. Exactly.

[magicarpet]

13. The Tangerine Emperor was the Composer/Maestro/Conductor of the trDUMP J/6 Coup d'etat.

Lock his fat ass up for decades.

[relayerbob]

14. Exactly. The SEcret service knew what was up

And knew he was in no danger. In the situation of an attack on the US by unknown assailants, he would have either been sent to the bunker or flown out of DC, pronto, not allowed to watch the proceedings on TV, while scarfing burgers.

[Rebl2]

19. Like you say

They knew he was in no danger.

[Wounded Bear]

21. Has always been a good question...nt

[louis-t]

22. Those around him that begged him to stop it knew.

Why didn't he order NG or anyone else to go stop it? Because it was HIS people.
Why would they ask him to put a stop to it unless it was HIS people?
Why did he wait 2 hours to begin filming a response?
Why did it take another hour to get him to record something appropriate enough to send out?
At first he wouldn't tell them they should go home. Just kept repeating how much he loved them and how wonderful the rioters were.
I hope J6 investigation has the outtakes.
If it wasn't HIS people, chances are there would have been a lot more dead bodies.

[PatSeg]

26. Yep, it was HIS show

and everything was going according to plan, possibly even better than anticipated.

[robbob]

37. Man, I've always wondered about the outtakes from that video session

I hope somebody saved them. I bet there is some very incriminating evidence there.

[True Blue American]

23. He was too busy watching the attempted Coup

He planned and promised to lead the march!

[maddiemom]

24. Exactly!

Why did that not occur to many of us at the time? A no brainer. POTUS and family are always securely protected when there is any threat to D.C. Maybe the tv reception isn't good enough in the "Bunker" to have allowed Trump full enjoyment of the scene?

[LeftInTX]

27. Good question

I wonder if they attempted and he refused?

He had a tendency to order them around. Remember his hospital stint?

[Sneederbunk]

29. He was already embarrassed for previously going to the bunker.

[oldsoftie]

30. Maybe it was because the White House is over 2 miles from the Capitol?

I don't think he was AT the Capitol was he?

[judesedit]

35. Exactly

[dixiechiken1]

36. Exactly right...

They spirited him down to the bunker during the BLM protests outside the WH that were actually peaceful. But during a violent and dangerous coup attempt, he wants to go for a leisurely walk outside.

Uh-huh...

[BlueJac]

38. Way obvious, no brainer!

[Hotler]

40. A lot of people knew what the plan was and the only ones in danger

would be at the capital.

[kairos12]

41. Probably for the same reason

Osama Bin Laden wasn't on 9/11.

Perpetrators, in the moment, need no refuge.

[paleotn]

42. He was leading the attack from his command post.

Need to stay at least somewhat close to the "troops."

[StarryNite]

44. The Secret Service were like the dog that didn't bark.
