\u201cWell, they blew Butler, because they had one building that was empty, and they blew it,\u201d he said as he spoke to Fox & Friends on Monday morning. Monday marks the second year since July 13, 2024, when 20-year-old shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks fired at Trump. Crooks eight rounds, narrowly missing Trump\u2019s head and grazing him in the ear, but his shots killed attendee Corey Comperatore and critically injured two others.<\/p>

An inspector general report released in late June found that Secret Service agents failed to receive most of the 102 radio transmissions from local authorities ahead of the assassination attempt, which caused them to miss multiple opportunities to stop Crooks. The report also found that the Secret Service was severely understaffed in 2023 and 2024 and that the agency\u2019s culture of using personal devices and unsecured government phones left some locations and data open to attacks.<\/p>

Trump typically does not criticize the Secret Service, who he has praised for saving him that day, but his Monday remarks acknowledged that the Secret Service should have stopped Crooks before he was able to open fire.<\/p>

\u201cNow at the same time \u2014 David, our sniper from 300 yards, was able to act within less than four seconds and took out somebody that he didn\u2019t know existed, which was unbelievable, the job he did \u2014 because if he didn\u2019t do that, you would have had a lot of people,\u201d the president added, implying that many more people would have been killed had the sniper not taken out Crooks.<\/p>

\u201cMaybe not me, because they were on top of me pretty quickly \u2014 I had a lot of people on top of me, and they were very brave,\u201d Trump explained. \u201cThe Secret Service was very brave. They were on top of me very, very fast. They saw what was happening. Everybody saw very quickly. I knew \u2014 I knew exactly what was happening.\u201d<\/p>

Trump reflected on that moment, describing how in tune he was with what was happening amidst the chaos.<\/p>

\u201cIt was amazing how I understood exactly,\u201d he noted. The president said he instantly knew it was his ear that was bleeding, though the people around him thought he had been hit \u201call over,\u201d but he pointed out that the ear bleeds more than many other parts of the body.<\/p>

\u201cIt has to do with cartilage,\u201d he noted. \u201cIt was a bloody mess. But I knew I only got hit there, and they thought I got hit in many different locations because of the blood.\u201d<\/p>

The FBI said in November 2025 that it has conducted over a thousand interviews and is \u201cvery confident\u201d in the assessment that Crooks acted alone when he tried to kill Trump.<\/p>

\u201cIt is the FBI\u2019s conclusion that Crooks acted alone,\u201d former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino told Fox News at the time, pushing back on online conspiracies about Crooks. He shared that the FBI gained access to all \u201c35 accounts linked to Crooks, including social media, bank, and other online accounts.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cDan and I have been on this since we got here eight months ago,\u201d FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox at the time. \u201cWe fully briefed the president, as a victim of this case, at the White House, providing him with all of the details of our investigation, and the president was satisfied with the results and where we left it.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWe are very confident in the outcomes of this investigation,\u201d Bongino added. \u201cWe have pulled on every threat. We are absolutely confident, and if information surfaces, please, immediately get it over to us for instant action.\u201d<\/p>

Crooks\u2019 attack was one of four known assassination attempts the president has faced. Ryan Wesley Routh is serving a life sentence in prison for attempting to shoot Trump on September 15, 2024, and Austin Tucker Martin was shot and killed by authorities as he attempted to breach Mar-a-Lago in February 2026.<\/p>

On April 25, a shooter named Cole Tomas Allen attempted to charge into the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner and open fire on multiple top Trump administration officials, including the president, according to federal prosecutors.<\/p>

A Secret Service official assured The Daily Wire in late June that the agency is well prepared for his return.<\/p>

\u201cAt every protective site, the U.S. Secret Service deploys a sophisticated, layered security framework that is custom-designed and continuously evolves to meet today\u2019s heightened security environment,\u201d the official said.<\/p>

\u201cWhile the existing security plan at the April 2026 White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner was effective in interdicting an identified threat, the agency continually reviews our security posture and will make adjustments, as necessary.\u201d<\/p>
