We’ve come a long way from the days when presidents road around in convertibles so they could wave to crowds during parades. That period ended with the tragic assassination of President Kennedy. The attempted assassination of President Reagan once again highlighted the vulnerability a president experiences when he steps out in public. So there is a constant tension between two needs — to have the president visible to the people, while at the same time ensuring his safety.
It’s not just a problem for public officials. Wealthy business magnates such as Donald Trump employ private security forces for personal protection. But when someone becomes president, that responsibility is turned over to the Secret Service.
Donald Trump’s security situation is an unusual one, as outlined on page two.
JFK should have had his own men….Dallas cops were often dirty and secret service either incompetent or under CIA control. I say he needs people he can trust near him. DC is a vipers nest of evil and malicious intent.
i was thinking the same
Just more inacurate BS.
President Eisenhower drove through my neighborhood in a convertible.
With these damn crazy anti Trump idiots, it sounds like a great plan.
He knows what he is doing. Keep your people Mr. Trump. The government is too corrupt.
Keep your own people and keep carrying a gun.
May God protect you and your family.
Oh I’m sure Trump was advised to do this, under obama the secret service are his people for now and they are very busy protecting hillary clinton.
