The White House is reportedly weighing new security measures for President Trump after three attempts on his life in the past two years — including a bulletproof vest.
Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy said Sunday that there are “discussions underway” at the highest levels about whether “President Trump is going to have to start wearing a bullet-proof vest for future events in public.”
The president has now faced three legitimate threats on his life from three armed madmen, one of whom came within centimeters of fatally striking his head.
On Saturday night in Washington, DC, during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Trump-hating maniac Cole Allen stormed a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton where the gala was being held and engaged Secret Service agents in a firefight, striking one in their body armor.
According to a rambling manifesto he sent to his family 10 minutes before the attack, which his brother handed over to Connecticut police and The Post obtained, Allen was targeting Trump and any other administration officials he could aim his gun at.
Allen was tackled and arrested after the gunfire, and the agent he struck is expected to recover fully.
The president was also targeted by gunmen twice during the 2024 presidential campaign.
On July 13, lone gunman Thomas Crooks grazed the president’s ear, killed a beloved firefighter and critically wounded two other Trump supporters when he opened fire on the president from a rooftop during a campaign stop in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Crooks was killed when Trump’s security detail fired back.
Two months later, Ryan Routh camped out for 12 hours in a sniper’s nest with an SKS assault rifle on the edge of Trump International West Palm Beach golf club as then-candidate Trump was playing the links.
Routh was sentenced to life in prison in February.
The Post has reached out to the White House about the security measures.
