Secret Service Enhances Trump's Security With Bulletproof Glass

Donald Trump New York Young Republican Club's 111th Annual Gala

The Secret Service has recently announced that they are increasing security measures for former President Donald Trump, including the use of bulletproof glass at campaign rallies. This decision comes in response to a recent incident where Trump was nearly assassinated at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

According to a senior official, the enhanced security detail will involve a larger number of agents, technological upgrades, and the installation of ballistic glass around Trump at public events. The Secret Service is also working on strategic placement of the bulletproof glass in areas where Trump is expected to make appearances.

Ballistic glass, commonly used for protecting current presidents, will be transported and set up by the Department of Defense due to their extensive transportation capabilities. The Secret Service does not have its own aircraft for this purpose, so the Department of Defense will handle the logistics of moving the glass to various locations across the country.

Recent incident in Butler, Pennsylvania prompted increased security measures.

When asked for more details, a Secret Service spokesperson declined to provide specifics due to security reasons. The agency is committed to ensuring the safety of all individuals under their protection, including former presidents like Donald Trump.
