Former President Donald Trump appeared to suggest the Biden administration was partially responsible for the assassination attempt against him on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania.
In a wide-ranging interview with Dr. Phil on Tuesday, Trump explained that the Biden administration “always made it very tough” for him to have a properly staffed Secret Service detail.
“I don’t know whose fault it is, but I will tell you I have these massive rallies with 50-60,000 people or more. And our people are always fighting to get more security, more Secret Service,” Trump said. “And he knew that we didn’t have enough.”
Is it just me or does it feel like Trump is hinting that he knows the Biden Admin was responsible for the assassination attempt? He lays out some of the supporting evidence:

“And he’d have a rally of 3 or 4 people. I mean, nobody would go. If he had a rally, if he had 20 people, it was a lot. Nobody would go…and yet he had a massive contingent of Secret Service. And I know that they wanted to have his people come over to these big rallies that I was having. And I know that it was a very tough situation.”
Trump went on to finger Joe Biden and his vice president Kamala Harris as being partially responsible for the attempt on his life last month.
“When this happened, people would ask, ‘Whose fault is it?’ I think to a certain extent it’s Biden’s fault and Harris’s fault. And I’m the opponent,” Trump said.
“Look, they were weaponizing government against me,” he continued. “They brought in the whole DOJ to try and get me. They weren’t too interested in my health and safety. I would be if I were in their position, but they weren’t very interested.”
“I could feel it. They were making it very difficult to have proper staffing in terms of Secret Service,” he added.
Dr. Phil followed up by asking, “I’m not saying they wanted you to get shot, but do you think it was okay with them if you did?”
Trump replied, “I don’t know. There’s a lot of hatred. I don’t know why. I had a great presidency. We had the best economy we ever had. We had job numbers that were unbelievable.”
The former president may have answered his own question as to why the Biden regime would want him dead.
Meanwhile, the House Republicans’ investigation into the assassination attempt against Trump has been slow going, what with the sudden cremation of shooter Thomas Crooks’s body and the Secret Service rejecting multiple FOIA requests for key documents related to the incident.
