Secret Service found a 'suspicious object' ahead of Trump's motorcade in Palm Beach

A "suspicious object" was discovered by the Secret Service on Sunday as President Donald Trump was headed to Palm Beach International Airport from Mar-a-Lago, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.

The finding warranted a further investigation and caused the presidential motorcade to take a different route than normal, Leavitt said.

“During advance sweeps of PBI airport, a suspicious object was discovered by the U.S. Secret Service. A further investigation was warranted and the presidential motorcade route was adjusted accordingly,” Leavitt said.

Further details on the object have not yet been released by officials.

Members of the Bomb Squad then detonated it safely after the motorcade had passed.

The only "there" there is another attempt to make it look like they need more boots on the ground to keep republicans, especially their cult leader, safe.

False flag operations everywhere.

You can tell what they have and/or are doing by what the accuse us of doing. It is almost a 1 to 1 relationship.

A lot of those SS offices and Trump humpers don't know anything beyond walking down halls and going on vacations.

Make his ability to get anywhere take longer and be more inconvenient, requiring hours of investigation.

Our Dear Leader courageously faces these challenges every day in carrying out his duties as President. Just like when he courageously carried on his duties after that assassination attempt. He should get a Peace Prize for this.
