The US Secret Service did not put agents on the rooftop where an assassin shot at Donald Trump for health and safety reasons, the head of the agency has said.

Kimberly Cheatle, the Secret Service director, said the “sloped roof” where Thomas Matthew Crooks was positioned on Saturday could have posed a risk to agents.

“That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof,” she told ABC News on Tuesday.

“And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside.”

Joe Biden, the US president, has ordered a review into how Crooks was able to gain access to a point with a direct line of sight to Trump as he spoke at a rally in Pennsylvania.

A bullet fired at Trump grazed his ear, missing his head by inches.

The only agent available was wearing high heels and a miniskirt. And he was too hungover to climb a roof after a night of stealing luggage at the airport.

The thing that is pissing me off the most is that there is no question that attendees were adamant about pointing out a problem (uhhh, there's a guy with an AK on the roof over there, could you kindly stop ordering Lululemon on your smartphone and take a gander?)

The shooter's roof looks like a 1/12 pitch. Virtually flat. I've seen singlewides with steeper roofs.

She's too ugly to be a crack-whore. I suppose they had to do something with her.

The Secret Service now identifies as freight locomotives and cannot climb a surface with more than a 1.5% gradient.

I demand we put the slightly slopped roof on trial for his part in this heinous crime.!!
