Ex-Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino
Warning From Experience
“When a former Secret Service agent publicly warns about a former president’s safety,
it demands serious attention.”
Dan Bongino, who protected presidents for years,
says his concern for Donald Trump is based on “real threats,” not politics.
Multiple Threat Vectors
Bongino outlined “four primary sources of risk”: foreign adversaries,
domestic extremists, institutional hostility, and a security culture shaped by optics.
He warned that “any one of these factors would merit heightened vigilance,”
but together they create serious danger.
Foreign and Domestic Risks
“Iran…continues to target him through intelligence and proxy networks,”
Bongino said, while China has “a strategic interest in preventing Trump from returning to power.”
At home, “public dehumanization, mock threats, and incendiary rhetoric” raise lone-wolf risks.
Institutional Stakes
Protection must be “threat-based decisions, not political ones.”
Bongino stressed the issue “extends beyond one individual,”
testing whether U.S. security remains nonpartisan.
