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.
Lana Beth Taylor Hurst and you aren’t hard to locate either my dear,
I am happy to hear this.
Boils down to trust! With what has happened in the last several years, the awakening that the last president wasn’t even eligible to be president, and the lies and deception from all branches of government ordered to COVER-UP all the treason and secret s from the American people, that I wouldn’t trust anyone until the SWAMP is drained effectively! What would you say to a stranger that tells you “you can trust me”, or “you can take my word for it!” He is just being smart and cautious! After all, look at what all he has been through so far! If Barry can take $85,000,000+ of vacations with no question, then why shouldn’t he have his own protection for him and his family. Who knows who or how many persons in SS have an agenda from the past, f**e and disturbing administration. We are all praying that he will be safe and not take any chances.
Secret Service is part of the DOJ…nothing to worry about there….
This makes sense considering how politicized all government agencies have become under the socialist dictatorial rule of Imam Barack Hussein Obama
Whatever I takes to keep him as safe as possible! His enemies, our enemies, have not and will not give up. That’s being proven every day.
I’m glad he’s having his own security force as none of us can really trust a stranger anymore he needs someone who he likes and feels secure with and who will really watch out for him . Obamas filled the CIA and FBI with his men and wouldn’t trust any of them .they need to be looked at very closely as to who and what they are until all of Obamas men have been checked out .
Trust No one !
Smart man
He’s supposed to have secret service protection.
