For those of you who have been following Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, you’re aware that he might be one of the most controversial front-runners the GOP has ever had. According to Politico, he’s currently the most favored out of the all the GOP candidates, beating Ben Carson by 7%.
His views on immigration, gun-control and taxes certainly haven’t left him in the favor of many left-leaning voters, and whether you agree with him or not, he has many valid points. And because of the growing crowds coming to see him speak, he’s made a request of the Obama administration that many are laughing at, but like everything else Trump says, is filled with logic.
See what this request is on the next page.
He must be somewhat fearful of the truth….
Trump needs protection more than Obama does. WE HAVE SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY ON THIS MAN FOR DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY.Obama Trump will make a better President than you. He loves our and is an American.
Right Robert rice, obombass has micro – managed the military. You don’t believe he won’t tell the committee what to do? Silly boy.
I’m confused: I saw an article that was saying protection had finally been provided for trump and carson. Now someone is full of bs and i can’t figure out which one.
Please, anyone who is surprised by this ~ lift your hands! Let’s see, we have a president who wants more gun free zones but that won’t ever happen to the White House. He and his family will always be protected…….screw the rest of us.
Do the other have protection if one has guards all should.
The Secret Service DOES NOT determine who qualifies for protection, nor is the Secret Service empowered to independently initiate candidate protection.
Under 18 U.S.C.’ 3056(a)(7), “[m]ajor Presidential and Vice Presidental candidates,” as identified by the Secretary of Homeland Security, are eligible for Secret Service protection.
Title 18 U.S.C.’ 3056(a)(7) authorizes the U.S. Secret Service to provide protection for major presidential and vice presidential candidates:
Protection is authorized by the DHS Secretary after consultation with the Congressional Advisory Committee
The Congressional Advisory Committee includes: Speaker of the House, House Minority Leader, Senate Majority Leader, Senate Minority Leader, and one additional member selected by the others
Criteria have been established to assist the DHS Secretary and the advisory committee in their decision making (as of 2008). Candidates must:
Be publically announced
Have some degree of prominence as shown by opinion polls
Be actively campaigning and entered in at least 10 state primaries
Be seeking the nomination of a qualified party
Have qualified for matching funds in the amount of at least $100,000
Have received contributions totaling $10 million
Title 18 U.S.C.’ 3056(a)(7) states that the U.S. Secret Service is also authroized to protect spouses of major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates, as identified by the DHS Secretary, within 120 days of the general Presidential election. Some candidates have received protection earlier in the campaign pursuant to Presidential memoranda.
It figures – the big O is so evil and he knows how popular Trump is –
What else would you expect from the despicable, IMPOSTER IN CHIEF. Trump should have bet him a few million in public and called him on it. Scott Sherry we can only hope and help it happen as you say.
We need a citizens grand jury empaneled to indite.and full blown tribunals like Nuremburg to put the fear of God back in the Citizens hands
They give it to Killary but not the Donald , WTF ??????????
