THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2024 Page 3 ~ GUEST COMMENTARY ~ Trump is Starting to Look Like a Sitting Duck By Sal Giarratani Y ou know, this week I was going to talk about my recent meet-up with childhood actor Jerry Mathers who spent six seasons and 200 episodes starring in “Leave it to Beaver” up at Phil Castinetti’s Sportsworld in Saugus on Sunday, August 25, but the recent news about yet another failed attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life down in Florida at his West Palm Springs golf course trumps the Beaver. Next week, I will talk about meeting Jerry Mathers and remembering a sitcom that I loved so much. My brother and I watched that sitcom series’ 200 episodes religiously every week. However, at the moment I am very concerned about what is happening in America these days. There seems to be so much violence being tolerated. I thought that the ‘60s were a violent period in America but what we are witnessing today grows worse. Over a month ago, Trump almost got killed at an outdoor rally in Butler, PA but for the grace of God and Trump moving to his right at the last second, he missed getting his head blown off. Now this past weekend down in Florida, another wouldbe sniper almost took Trump out again. This time it was at a golf course in West Palm Beach where Trump was on the course with friends enjoying a great game of golf. This time, at the last possible moment. a Secret Service agent noticed the sniper’s gun in the brushes. Once spotted, he ran but thanks to civilians nearby, the culprit was caught. These two would-be assassins failed but how many more attempts on Trump’s life might surely come? Not the finest hour for the Secret Service, is it? The county sheriff reported that since Trump is not the sitting president, he doesn’t get full secret service protection. Why? Especially in this violent moment in US history! Any wonder is it really a coincidence that two attempts on Trump’s life have taken place so quickly. There are many out there who are getting revved up over the hateful rhetoric of the Democrats: They call him Hitler. They call him a dictator. They call him an enemy of democracy. No wonder unhinged crackpots out there arrive on the scene to take Trump out. Lately, some out there think it might be a deep state conspiracy. Is there a mole in the Secret Service or within the Department of Homeland Security? Is there a mole within the Trump Campaign Organization itself? Lately, it seems Trump has become a target. Can he really feel safe anywhere? Shouldn’t he? Remember when Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz stated he had served in combat? Seems right now, Trump has been in combat and under fi re more than Walz ever claimed to be, hasn’t he? Trump is no enemy of the state. He is a former president and now wants to get another four years in the White House. President Biden needs to ensure that the former president gets full secret service protection. Democrats need to lower the temperature in its political discourse, too. We have two candidates running for president. They are opponents not enemies. It is time for all of us to stand up for America, its values and its principals.
