Can you imagine having to live every day at this level of idiocy?

Of course he was, but Pompeo is a Cassius like figure wanting to stay close to power and stabbing it in the back the first chance he gets.

He’s a very, very likely conspirator in the Trump assassination plot. If Trump is killed two days before the RNC, then Nikki Haley would be the nominee, which is the EXACT person Pompeo wants in power. Trump is completely in the way of Pompeo’s bottom line, but Haley, Biden, and Kamala are not and will do as they’re told by the Deep State.

Stop being a ninny. Only Presidents get USSS for life. If we paid 2 million a month in security limo details---- for every soul Iran and any enemy threatens, we would be in the poor house.

How about imbecilic evil individuals like Obama & Biden democrats funding Iran when THEY were bankrupt? Let's discuss this. Iran wouldn't have a Navy if Obama hadn't bowed down to them in full frontal appeasement while swallowing.

Iran bankrupt, or us. Democrats have destroyed America and R's helped. It is why we sent Trump.

How are they "at risk"? They don't live in Iran.

Since Trump doesn’t seem to mind exposing his former admin officials to this risk (for no other reason that they didn’t remain loyal to Trump in perpetuity) surely he wouldn’t mind he was treated the same when he gets out.


Again, when was Pompeo and Bolton elected by the people, as president?

Why do these people get security details after they are out of office?
Perhaps because they participated in decisions while in office that pissed off a foreign power such as Iran or North Korea.

For example, Pompeo was Sec of State when this happened:
quote:

On 3 January 2020, Qasem Soleimani, an Iranian major general, was killed by an American drone strike ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump[3] near the Baghdad International Airport in Iraq, while travelling to meet Iraqi prime minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi.

And that's why POTUS has protection. Not Bolton or Pompeo. Try again.

Probably about 6x 2 man teams rotating around the clock, vehicles, house near Pompeo etc. It adds up quickly.

Just like when Obama would go to Hawaii or Biden go to the beach the SS would rent out every house within a mile, have tons of agent and many more expenses.

I feel that POTUS should only go to camp David as they costs are much much less. I could see how MAL is a good option to since Trump will always have SS protection and the changes needed for security have already been made

Assassination risk. You know this.

If we have to change the law to make SS protection at the discretion of the current chief executive then we can do that. Surely Trump wouldn’t mind.

But with all these security details, on so many minor figures, who have lost any semblance of impact -- they couldn't provide Trump with proper security prior to the election... H'mmm.
