He doesn’t have nearly the resources that a sitting president has. Sad but absolutely true.

I don't think the SS has an A or B team...

Didn't Trump Jr say something about the main guy next to Sr being on his SS team while he was President?

That was the F team

In the videos it looked like they were scrambling with no plan or any idea what to do

I worked with a guy who was on the Reagan detail the day he was shot. Trumps detail was nothing like those guys.

The ones "covering " him aren't the ones doing the area set up. They are with him all the time.

Really separate groups.

Putting bias aside, it would make sense for the sitting president to get the top guys. I’m guessing it has always been that way.

Of course, I also think some of the guys stay with a president when he’s out of office. I met a retired SS agent who was on Carter’s detail when he was in office and stayed with him until he retired. They were still good friends when I met him.

Such a sad picture and a microcosm of how the world has regressed.

B team is being to kind. All I saw was a bunch of overweight incompetent women in a panic not knowing wtf to do and the handful of men that were there taking charge. DEI at its finest. All part of the plan.

No shite. There are 5 ex presidents. There aren’t enough SS agents in active duty to give all 5 the same level of protection.

I have been looking for this video outside of X.
I can't find it.
X will only allow downloads with a premium acct.
Chicken gets all of my $ for TD Premium.
Can someone post the video in a downloadable format?
TIA

You could see the clear panic in the women’s faces as they looked around for somebody to tell them what they are supposed to do.

Honestly. Get rid of the women.

Women are great at many things. Acting under pressure is not one. That girl is clearly shook.

I think the B team is handling Obama; the C team handling Clinton; the D team handling Carter and sometimes Kennedy's internment.

maybe not, but the ones actively running for president should get a bit more than the ones barely alive on hospice.

Bobby Kennedy’s death was supposed to have assured that.


edit: i know Bobby wasn’t a former president. pointing out his assasination changed the way we protected candidates.

He doesn't just get protection as an ex-Pres, he also gets protection as the presumptive Republican nominee.

And the SS can allocate resources based on the individual threat level to the specific protectee. Trump probably gets 100 death threats a day whereas Jimmy Carter, who is barely clinging to life down in Plains Georgia can probably get by with two semi-retired agents and a hospice nurse.
