Social media goes nuts for stirring Secret Service Super Bowl ad featuring Trump shooting: 'Absolutely EPIC' Social media went wild for a patriotic ad for the US Secret Service during Super Bowl that featured iconic scenes from American history including the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
The ad was called 'EPIC' and cost the Secret Service $2 million to produce although the air time was donated to the Service, meaning it didn't have to pay millions to get its messaging in front of the lucrative Super Bowl crowd.
Secret Service Director Sean Curran told CNN through a spokesperson that 'he empowered the team to identify a novel and expedient approach that leveraged one of the most recognizable Directors to produce a representation of the men and women behind the Secret Service within nine days while ensuring compliance with requisite rules.'.
The ad showcases the agency's role in protecting the nation's leaders and used images and video of Secret Service agents and former presidents including John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, both of whom had high-profile attempts on their lives.
Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump is rushed offstage by Secret Service Agents during a rally on July 13, 2024 in Butler, Pennsylvania.
