I don't want one penny of my money used for extra Secret Service protection for Trump. If he needs more than the sitting president then he should be required to purchase his own additional protection. I'm sure the cult would pitch right in.

@nursefrombirth I understand. I'm of the opinion that Secret Service protection for former presidents is the right thing to do, but he's doing as he always does and testing the limits to the breaking point.

I think that protection should cut both ways. We protect former presidents not just because they served and made themselves vulnerable to retaliation from their detractors, but also to protect precious state secrets. Guard them to keep those safe, but they should protect the secrets too

@Fellixe Again, if he needs more protection than the sitting president and needs protection taken away from another ex-president, he should pay for his own. Guard secrets, they never could with him, why try now?

@nursefrombirth Is that what's happening? I've got personal stuff in my brain and work stuff happening so I haven't done my rounds of news digging yet.

Secret Service needs help. Through my police parents we've known a coupe of officers recruited into SS and anecdotally they aren't on the top of the list for well run law enforcement agencies.
