Secret Service Ad Features Trump, Highlights History During Super Bowl

During the Super Bowl, the U.S. Secret Service aired an emotional recruitment ad featuring pivotal moments in American history, including the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. The ad, which was produced at a cost of $2 million but aired for free, received widespread acclaim on social media, with many viewers calling it 'EPIC' and expressing admiration for the agency's efforts. Trump's inclusion in the ad followed a near-fatal assassination attempt at a rally last July, highlighting ongoing staffing shortages within the Secret Service that the agency aims to address through this campaign. Additionally, the ad showcased historical events and emphasized the agency's critical role in protecting national leaders. The ad was well-received not only for its patriotic tone but also for its strategic messaging during the high-profile Super Bowl event. In a related performance, musician Jon Batiste's rendition of the national anthem also garnered attention for its subtle political undertones directed at Trump.
