Democrats are once again interfering in the 2024 presidential election, according to former President Donald Trump.

Monday on Truth Social, Trump claimed he's still not receiving enough agents to protect him adequately, and that Democrats are also limiting the size of his rallies for supposed safety reasons.

“The Democrats are interfering with my Campaign by not giving us the proper number of people within Secret Service that are necessary for Security,” Trump said. “They’re using them for themselves, even though they don’t need them – they draw ‘flies’ — because they have no crowds.”

“We need more Secret Service, and we need them NOW. It is ELECTION INTERFERENCE that we have to turn away thousands of people from arenas and venues because it is not being provided to us,” he added. “With the weak crowd participation that the Democrats get, there should be plenty ‘left over’ for the Republican Party.”

Trump has already survived two assassination attempts and reports say there are more groups plotting against him.

He claimed that thousands of people were turned away from an indoor rally in Wisconsin, artificially making the attendance seem lower than at others he has held.
