It makes \\u201cabsolutely no sense\\u201d that the roof of the building from which the gunman fired was not secured by the Secret Service, Dodge County, Wisconsin, Sheriff Dale Schmidt told The Daily Signal in an interview discussing the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. 

Following the attempt on Trump\\u2019s life during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle sat down for an interview with ABC News and said there were safety concerns with regard to stationing agents on the roof the shooter used because it was \\u201ca sloped roof.\\u201d

But Schmidt points out that the countersnipers that were on a roof behind the president were also on a sloped roof. 

\\u201cWhen you look at a location from a security standpoint, you\'re going to be standing where that dignitary is ahead of time and saying, \\u2018Where are the potential vulnerabilities?\\u2019\\u201d Schmidt said. \\u201cAnd I can tell you if I was on that roof, I could have made that shot. It is not a difficult shot to make.\\u201d  

Schmidt sat down with The Daily Signal at the Republican National Convention last week in Milwaukee, to discuss the security failures at the Trump campaign rally just days earlier. He also explains why the crisis on America\\u2019s southern border has become such a threat to sheriffs across America.
