Ex-Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino Says

Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino has publicly warned about

growing security risks facing Donald Trump,

stressing that his concern is based on professional threat assessment, not politics.

Bongino argues that multiple danger factors are

converging at once—a scenario security experts view as especially serious.

He identifies four main threats: hostile foreign actors, radicalized domestic extremists,

internal hostility within parts of the federal bureaucracy,

and a security culture influenced by political optics.

Together, these risks create an unusually volatile

environment requiring heightened, nonpartisan protection.

Bongino highlights foreign threats from Iran,

angered by Trump’s role in the killing of Qassem Soleimani,

and China, which opposes Trump’s return to power due to his past policies.

Domestically, he warns that years of extreme rhetoric may encourage lone-wolf violence.

He also raises concern about politicized security decisions,

cautioning that protection must remain threat-based.

Bongino frames his warning as a test of institutional integrity,

noting that history shows the cost of ignoring credible risks can be irreversible.
