In reply to Hush. Trump is not the sitting President , therefore he doesn't deserve tier 1 security.

In reply to Geoff "I'm getting too old for this shit" PR. Yes, and Kabul isn't located in CONUS.

“…but using active military for what essentially amounts to police protection? No.”

That’s *exact;y* what happened in the Kabul ‘Green Zone’, retired special forces under contract to ‘Blackwater’ were private security for the president of Iraq…

Uhh, hell no. Ever hear of Posse Comitatus? If Trump wants to hire RETIRED DeltaSealRanger Weather Men for his private detail, that’s all fine and dandy, but using active military for what essentially amounts to police protection? No. That’s a slippery slope I’m not willing to go down for someone that’s in their eighth decade and can die tomorrow.

It certainly appears that the U.S. Secret Service is NOT up to the task.

While it may be interesting or even entertaining to consider WHY the U.S. Secret Service is NOT up to the task, it is mostly a moot point since The Donald needs adequate protection right now. (And we all know how it will take several months, if not several years, to thoroughly investigate inadequacies, recommend corrections, and implement those corrections.)

I agree with the author of this article: re-purpose military special forces units to The Donald’s protection.

President Trump, if anyone, at this time certainly deserves tier 1 security.
As the article said, “luck can eventually run out”.

USSS needs to stop filling management positions with bureaucrats and mall cops.

Probably quite a few just below that standard that were “retired” over that Covid mandate to draw from. Would still be way ahead of anything DEI can provide.
