Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino has alleged that current Secret Service agents have been barred from wearing a red tie because of former President Donald Trump.
Speaking on his podcast last Friday, Bongino claimed that the rule was instituted after a Secret Service agent guarding Trump was spotted wearing the same color tie as him.

“What if I told you now that an edict went out in the Secret Service about what color tie you could wear. … Now, I worked there for 12 years. I don’t ever recall getting a memo about tie colors. Ever,” Bongino said.
“But the story gets even weirder. Why the hell would Secret Service management be preoccupied with people’s tie colors? Maybe because some of the people running the agency have gone crazy and have turned into Biden ass kissers,” he added.
According to Bongino, the “scandal” erupted when The Guardian posted a photo of a member of Trump’s detail wearing a red tie.
“And all of a sudden, the red tie thing became a big scandal,” he explained. “Why would the red tie thing become a big scandal? What was on the tie — cocaine or something? No. It was the same color as Donald Trump’s tie.”
The ridiculousness of the order was too much for him.
“What the hell!?” he exclaimed. “This actually happened. … What is going on? Are agents on Biden’s detail, if they wear Ray-Bans like Biden when he pretends to be a fake tough guy, are they going to be accused of being Biden supporters because they have Ray-Ban on?”
“What type of stupid email edict was that? Guys are pissed. They’re like ‘we can’t wear red ties!?’ Mr. President, I’m telling you right now, President Trump, clean out that management when you get elected. … You need to clean it out. They all gotta go. All of them gotta go. You’ve got crazy people there right now,” he added.
Later in the full episode of the show, Bongino warned that these sorts of stupid, mindless edicts are going to get the former president hurt.
“[Trump’s] threat level is through the roof. If this is what they’re worried about, you’re gonna get hurt,” he said.
Responding to these allegations, some Trump supporters worried that the administration is purposefully trying to make the former president stick out like a sore thumb.

So they want to make sure Trump’s the only one with the bullseye on?

This sounds like they want to identify Trump by his red tie in a crowd. What does that sound like to you?

They’re hoping the red tie makes for a clear target. His Secret Service detail is part of the rest…all corrupt.

I’m thinking that it is more sinister than that. They want Trump to stand out, so that he is an easy target, if you get my drift.

All this comes about a year after author Chris Whipple released a book, “The Fight of His Life,” in which he claimed Biden thinks his Secret Service agents are loyal to Trump.
“A bigger problem was Biden’s discomfort with his Secret Service detail; some of them were MAGA sympathizers. He didn’t trust them,” Whipple wrote, as reported last year by The Hill.
“Surrounded by a new phalanx of strangers, Biden couldn’t help but wonder, Do these people really want me here?” he continued.
They certainly didn’t want his dog there. Recall how Biden’s former dog repeatedly bit several Secret Service agents.
Yet stunningly, Biden was so distrustful of his own Secret Service detail that he didn’t believe the biting story.
“Biden ‘wasn’t buying the details,’ such as the location of the incident, although he didn’t dispute that the bite took place, Whipple wrote. Biden told a friend that Secret Service agents were never at the location of the incident, which was allegedly on the second floor of the White House,” according to The Hill.
“Somebody was lying, Biden thought, about the way the incident had gone down,” Whipple wrote.
