Politician’s do their work IN public…..
They embrace crowds and meet and greets…..
Men and Women with guns and ear pieces have job of protecting them….
It IS a thankless and impossible to stop someone intent on trying to hurt their protected ….
The Secret Service has the job of specifically protecting a person….
That IS actually a close in job….
‘Controlling ‘ the outside environment a person they are assigned to is primarily the local and state police ....
The agent’s do NOT have the knowledge and personnel to blanket several location’s during a campaign ‘s hectic stops…
Added to their constraints is long hours in unfamiliar locations hop scotching across the country….
And?
REALLY ADDED to this is Donald Trump HIMSELF….
Notice that the last US President NEVER had people shooting at them?
But Trump is on his second in a short period?
Someone as bombastic spewing hate and violence HAS brought out the angry ‘crazies’…
The men and women of the Secret Service ARE iconic in the media…
But as we see now?
They are just people trying to a difficult job…..
President Biden will try to get more money for their budget….
Republicans will probably NOT go along….
The ‘Service’ will have to continue to make do with what they have, borrow personnel from other agencies and YES….
Count on the local and state law enforcement to help their effort….
Having there control EVERYTHING is mission creep that simply IS IMPOSSIBLE…
Donald Trump isn’t gonna help things one bit……
And he ain’t even the President anymore….
He’s just a convicted felon that taxpayers are paying for….
Who won’t STFU….
President Biden on Monday said the Secret Service “needs more help” following the second apparent assassination attempt against former President Trump.
The big picture: The U.S. Secret Service is facing renewed scrutiny from lawmakers after the latest incident targeting Trump, this time at his Florida golf club.
- A Secret Service agent ahead of Trump on the golf course saw a rifle barrel sticking out of a fence. Police arrested the suspected gunman, Ryan Wesley Routh, who is in court Monday morning.
Driving the news: “The [Secret] Service needs more help,” Biden said while departing the White House. “And I think Congress should respond to their needs.”
- Biden said on Monday that additional resources could include more personnel.
- Acting Secret Service director Ronald Rowe is reportedly in Florida visiting the scene as apart of the ongoing investigation into the incident and is expected to meet with Trump Monday, CNN reports.
State of play: Members of Congress from both parties have called for Trump to receive more protection in the aftermath of the incident.
- Trump’s Secret Service protection is more limited than it would be if he were the sitting president…..
