The Secret Service is to implement a raft of new security measures for upcoming outdoor rallies featuring President Trump, including surrounding him with bulletproof glass, according to a source.
The Washington Post reports that the USSS has begun storing the glass in locations around the country in order to prepare for Trump campaign events.
The source stated “Former presidents and candidates don’t normally get bulletproof glass or support from DoD [Department of Defense],” adding “This glass needs to be brought in on trucks and vans.”
The report further notes that acting USSS head Ronald Rowe has overseen the plans after convening with Trump’s team.
The report claims that Trump aides said he wants to do more outdoor rallies again, including a return to Butler PA where he was almost assassinated. However, he stated that he did not want to go on a stage outside again without the protective glass.
Previous presidents, including Trump himself have utilised the glass before.
