A jaw-dropping new poll just revealed Americans’ true feelings about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump

On July 13 our nation almost lost one of the most important and influential people in modern politics.

Even with the Secret Service and FBI refusing to give Americans answers, reports continue to expose what the government claims was merely incompetence and negligence.

And now a jaw-dropping new poll just revealed Americans’ true feelings about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

Americans point to the potential of an “inside job” to assassinate Trump

It’s been nearly a month since a would-be assassin fired into a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, nearly taking former President Donald Trump’s life. 

But we still don’t have an official narrative about what happened that day.

And Americans have been left confused and frustrated by the disregard for Trump and his supporters’ lives and safety.

People were left with theories being floated on social media and many of them were pointing toward government involvement. 

The phrase “inside job” began trending, and it really hasn’t slowed down since. 

Alexander Sheppard called it an inside job just a few days ago. 

INSIDE JOB 🚨

New footage appears to show a second shooter firing shots at President Trump from inside the building that Crooks was on top of.

The FBI and Secret Service are telling us not to believe our own eyes.

Republicans better look into this!

 Within 10 days of the attempted assassination, former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned, citing “scrutiny” becoming too “intense” for her to handle. 

But it’s clear that Cheatle’s resignation was not enough to restore trust in the Secret Service.

Nearly half of Americans blame Democrat talking points

The National Readiness Organization focused on College and Career (NROC) conducted a study on American sentiment toward the Secret Service. 

The Associated Press published the findings on August 2. 

The results showed that confidence in the Secret Service has dropped to incredible lows.

Less than 30% of Americans are “extremely” or “very confident” that the Secret Service can be trusted to protect Presidential candidates from violence in the lead up to Election Day.

And over 70% of Americans stated that they believe the Secret Service bears at least some responsibility for what happened in Butler that day. 

Another interesting take away from the poll is that 46% of Americans believe that the Democrats bare at least a moderate amount of responsibility for “the way [they] talk about politics.” 

Some 59% of Americans believe that the media should be held responsible. 

Worst yet, 78% of Americans think that “political division” made this inevitable.

“We will earn your trust back. . .”

Following the survey, the AP dug deeper with direct interview questions with American voters. 

Roger Berg, a 70-year-old farmer from Iowa, plans to vote for Trump, but he also wishes people would stop trying to blame President Joe Biden for the attack. 

“The people that are making everything about politics, I wish they would just quit. They pit it all on Biden, and I don’t believe that” he said.

Navy veteran George Velasco said that he believes the Secret Service and local law enforcement should have planned and communicated better ahead of the event. 

“It was as if the Secret Service expected those guys to know what they had to do. . .” he said.

Velasco added that Butler is a small community and local law enforcement was ill-prepared to deal with “something huge like that rally.” 

Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe took over for Cheatle following her departure. 

Rowe has said that he is “ashamed” of the failure and made a promise to America. 

“We will earn your trust back,” he says.
