<p>Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle announced on Tuesday that she was resigning her post after failing to stop an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump — and Trump responded in the immediate aftermath of her decision.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/secret-service-director-resigns-amid-uproar-over-trump-assassination-attempt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cheatle&#8217;s resignation</a> came just 24 hours after lawmakers on both sides of the aisle grilled her for the series of security failures that led to Trump&#8217;s would-be assassin attaining access to an elevated position with a clear line of sight to the stage. In addition to wounding Trump, he killed firefighter Corey Comperatore and gravely injured two others.</p>
<p>Fox News reporter Brooke Singman shared a statement from the former president, who was shot in the ear at his July 13 campaign rally, shortly after Cheatle&#8217;s resignation was made public.</p>
<p>&#8220;EXCLUSIVE: I spoke to @realDonaldTrump on the resignation of #SecretService Director Cheatle. He tells me &#8216;she never gave me proper protection, so I ended up having to take a bullet for democracy,'&#8221; Singman posted.</p>

<p>&#8220;Trump tells me that &#8216;Many requests were made by on-site secret service for more people, always with a turn down or no response,'&#8221; Singman continued, adding, &#8220;Trump tells me: &#8216;I have the biggest crowds in history, and they should be treated accordingly.&#8217; Trump, though, told me: &#8216;Big improvements have been made over the last week.'&#8221;</p>

<p>Immediately after the assassination attempt, Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) asserted that requests from the Trump camp for more security had been rebuffed or ignored — and Secret Service Spokesman Anthony Guglielmi flatly denied the veracity of such claims.</p>
<p>However, within days, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/secret-service-may-have-denied-requests-for-more-security-at-trump-events-wapo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">additional reports</a> indicated that Trump had, in fact, been denied additional security for large events, as Waltz had said.</p>
