Since the attack, Trump&#8217;s\u2062 rallies have been limited to indoor venues, which he has expressed dissatisfaction with, \u200dpreferring the traditional outdoor settings. The attempted assassination marks a notable moment in U.S. political \u2062history, being the first such attempt on a presidential candidate since 1972.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Secret Service grants Trump bulletproof glass for rallies: Report<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1731690\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump&rsquo;s<\/a> hope to resume outdoor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/rally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>rallies<\/a> is closer to becoming reality after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/secret-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Secret Service<\/a> made arrangements for Trump to have a three-sided bulletproof glass panel surrounding his podium.<\/p>\n<p>While&nbsp;ballistic-proof glass is typically reserved for sitting presidents, former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle included it as one of the new security measures for Trump following the attempt on his life on July 13.<\/p>\n<p>During an outdoor rally in Butler Pennsylvania, a 20-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/secret-service-director-roof-too-steep-for-snipers\/\" title=\"Secret Service Director: Roof Too Steep for Snipers\">gunman fired multiple shots<\/a> at the former president from the roof of a nearby building.

This type of ballistic-proof glass is usually designated for current presidents, but following the assassination attempt on Trump on July 13, former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle included it among the new security measures for him. During a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, a 20-year-old gunman shot at Trump from a nearby rooftop, grazing him in the ear and injuring two attendees\u2014one fatally. This incident marked the first assassination attempt on a presidential candidate since George Wallace in 1972 and the first against any president or former president since Ronald Reagan in 1981. Since that event, all of Trump&#8217;s rallies have been held indoors, which he has expressed frustration about. &#8220;They\u2019d prefer that we be in an arena,&#8221; he remarked during an indoor event in Harrisburg two weeks after the attack. &#8220;But we\u2019re not giving up outdoor rallies.&#8221; Former Secret Service agent Don Mihalek explained to ABC News that transporting this bulletproof glass is complex due to its size and weight; it requires significant logistical support typically reserved for large outdoor events. The Secret Service has set aside several UpArmored glass panels for Trump at various locations across the country so they can be quickly deployed when needed. Additionally, personnel from President Joe Biden&#8217;s Secret Service detail have been reassigned to protect Trump due to heightened security risks and Biden&#8217;s reduced travel schedule<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2542,"featured_media":2325626,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/T_DH_Column_1.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[38338,5825,34163,3646,3634],"class_list":["post-2325625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-bulletproof-glass","tag-rallies","tag-secret-service","tag-security","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/T_DH_Column_1.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2325625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2542"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2325625"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2325625\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2325626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2325625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2325625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2325625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
