President Trump has responded to Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle’s official resignation.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned on Tuesday, just one day after Congress grilled her over the Secret Service’s abysmal security preparation at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where President Trump was shot, and Corey Comperatore was killed.
Trump, in a statement released on Truth Social just minutes after Cheattle’s resignation, wrote, “The Biden/Harris Administration did not properly protect me, and I was forced to take a bullet for Democracy.”
“IT WAS MY GREAT HONOR TO DO SO!” added Trump.

“In light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that I have made the difficult decision to step down as your director,” added Cheatle.
