The 1600: Reflections on the Near Assassination of Donald Trump

On July 13, 2024, former President Donald Trump was targeted at a Butler rally, where gunman Thomas Crooks fired eight rounds, grazing Trump's ear and killing one attendee.
A House task force found in December 2024 that the Secret Service's planning, communication, and security leadership failed, allowing Crooks to climb a rooftop after drone reconnaissance.
The U.S. Secret Service suspended six staff for 10–42 days without pay, calling the event 'nothing short of a tragedy' and an 'operational failure,' following security lapses at the Butler rally.
One year after the Butler rally attack, Trump’s security lapses prompted bipartisan scrutiny, with his support among male voters rising and Elon Musk endorsing his campaign.
