Former Navy SEAL and Blackwater founder Erik Prince chalked the security lapses surrounding the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump to either “malice or massive incompetence” in a lengthy breakdown of the situation.

The security organization founded by Prince — which was known as Blackwater during the peak of its operations during the Iraq war — protected diplomats and other high value individuals in war zones and dangerous organizations. Prince’s organization — which employed hundreds of former special forces operators — never lost a single American who was under their protection.

“Hopefully after the tragedy yesterday in Butler PA we can all recognize that unaccountable bloated bureaucracies continue to fail us as Americans,” Prince wrote in an X post on Sunday.

“Donald J Trump is alive today solely due to a bad wind estimate by an evil would be assassin. As the graphics show the full value wind of just 5mph was enough to displace the unconfirmed but likely light 55 grain bullet two inches from DJT’s intended forehead to his ear.”

Trump appeared to slightly turn his head at just the right time after Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire from a rooftop located roughly 130 yards away from the podium. Secret Service snipers immediately returned fire and neutralized Crooks, but not before he was able to squeeze off a few shots from an “AR-style rifle,” one of which killed retired firefighter Corey Comperatore, an innocent bystander and father of two who died while shielding his family from gunfire.

“DJT was not saved by USSS brilliance. The fact that USSS allowed a rifle armed shooter within 150yds to a preplanned event is either malice or massive incompetence,” Prince continued. “Clearly there was adequate uncontrolled dead space for a shooter to move into position and take multiple aimed shots. Watching the newsreel one can hear how proximate the shooter is by the very short time lapse between the crack of arriving bullet (supersonic) to the boom of muzzle blast (sonic).”

Prince — who served as one of the first American operators on the ground in Afghanistan after the September 11 attacks — observed that the Secret Service sniper “was clearly overwhelmed as his face came off his rifle instead of doing his job to kill the shooter.”

“In my old business of providing Diplomatic Security in two active war zones we were expected to execute the basics or we would be fired. Clearly USSS failed at the basics of a secure perimeter and once shots were fired their extraction was clumsy and left DJT highly exposed to follow on attacks. It looked like they had never drilled together because those responses should be effectively autonomic,” the former Navy SEAL officer went on to say.

“Will there be accountability? That’s not the Washington way.”

“Unserious and unworthy people in positions of authority got us to this near disaster. Merit and execution must be the only deciding factors in hiring and leadership, not the social engineering priority of the day. Sadly nothing in Washington reflects that any longer,” he continued. “DJT is right to question the competence of those protecting him because yesterday they failed in almost every way. Nature abhors a vacuum and there are always other options.”

Prince concluded his post by calling on Americans to, “come together and run a proper valid election so we can get back to what matters a merit based society that judges on character and skill.”

“Nothing else.”

Hopefully after the tragedy yesterday in Butler PA we can all recognize that unaccountable bloated bureaucracies continue to fail us as Americans.
