Secret Service sniper neutralized shooter at Trump rally. The assailant was experienced, possibly with a long-barreled weapon. The agents are seconds late to react - snipers from the former president's outer perimeter security who scan the entire area constantly. It stated in "Awaken" Prof. Yonko Mermerski, Trump's official interpreter during meetings with Bulgarian leaders.

In his words, the attack "will win points" of Trump. "Since he turned his head at the time of the shooting, only the earlobe was pierced, otherwise he would have been hit in the back of the head behind the ear. There are three security perimeters around Trump - inner, middle and outer. Inside there are five Secret Service agents, it's called a "diamond". They directly protect him, covering him with their bodies and protecting him immediately after the shooting. Agents are once again in the middle perimeter, but they are among the spectators of the rally. The outside is secured by the local police and snipers. In such a large outdoor perimeter as the rally was, there should be more sniper coverage. I think that the events until the end of the campaign will be indoors and everyone will be scanned with a magnetometer so that no weapons are brought in," he commented.

According to him, the rhetoric of both Republicans and Democrats was harsh during the election campaign. "There is a problem with the control of the possession of weapons in the USA, but crimes in the USA in more than 95% are committed with illegally acquired ones," pointed out Prof. Mermerski.
