Trump flanked by horde of male Secret Service agents during RNC — a stark difference from deadly rally

Former President Donald Trump was flanked by a horde of male Secret Service agents as he arrived at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee — a stark contrast to the security team protecting him during the assassination attempt.

Nearly a dozen burly male agents were spotted surrounding Trump in tight formation as he made an appearance at the GOP convention’s opening night Monday.

No female agents could be seen close to him, according to various clips and photos making the rounds on social media.

It marked a dramatic change from the security detail protecting Trump at the campaign rally in Butler, Pa., when a sniper opened fire — grazing him in the ear.

In that instance, three female agents were among those who could be seen immediately swarming the ex-president and whisking him off stage.

It comes after the head of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, vowed the agency would “adapt our operations as necessary in order to ensure the highest level of safety and security” for both the RNC and the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next month.

Cheatle, who has faced growing calls to resign in the wake of the assassination attempt, also insisted that “changes” had already been implemented to ensure Trump’s “continued protection for the convention and the remainder of the campaign.”

It wasn’t immediately clear if the beefed-up male detail was among those changes.

Some on social media were quick to hail the boost in testosterone, claiming they’d be able to better protect the former commander-in-chief.

“This makes sense, Biology gives no f–ks to your opinions. This is a better way to protect the man,” one user tweeted.

Another added, “Trump’s new secret service team is all MEN now. During the assassination attempt, women agents were seen fumbling with holsters, hiding behind Trump, and generally being inept. Is security or the military really a good place for women?”

Both Cheatle and her agency have come under intense scrutiny following Trump’s brush with death on stage at a campaign rally.

Critics have argued that Cheatle, a 28-year Secret Service veteran, has focused too much on woke “diversity, equity and inclusion” (DEI) initiatives — including declaring her intention to make sure the department was 30% women by 2030 — at the expense of security.

In the aftermath of the shooting, former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker told The Post that the three female agents assigned to Trump’s security detail that day were clearly in over their heads when the bullets started flying.

“The women I saw up there with the president — they looked like they were running in circles. One didn’t know how to holster, the other one didn’t seem to know what to do, and another one seemed not to be able to find her holster,” he said.

“DEI is one thing. Competence and effectiveness is another, and I saw DEI out there.”
