American Secret Service are understaffed.

Twice on active duty I supported the secret service protecting two presidents. They have the training and I never lost a President on my watch.

This probably isn’t going to be well received by many but oh well. The biggest issue USSS has right now is its DEI hiring priorities. The former head who resigned in shame had a stated goal of doubling the number of female agents by next year. In a job that is that vital, the protection of a President and former Presidents, it is irresponsible to think that way. You hire the best of the best. You don’t lower standards as they have done to hire more women for the sake of hiring women. You set a standard for all applicants and training and qualifications after hire. If a woman meets those hire her. If not she can apply somewhere else.

Yes! I have been on three different Presidential security details as a military back up to the secret service. What I know for fact is that only the current sitting president gets the "real" secret service, and the non-seated -presidential candidate gets the customs, IRs, border patrol and other pools the secret service can pull from in times of campaigns. Their training and skill sets are terrible and most of them hate being pulled and mandated to be the backup secret service members.

That is why the president flies on Airforce One (US Airforce pilots and crew with fighter plane escorts) Marine One Helicopter (Marien pilots and crew). And we were added to test or back up for the seated US president that you the citizen never knew we were there as US Army.

How does a leftwing lunatic from Hawaii get an AK-47 in Florida, serial number filed off, along with Trump's location for an unscheduled golf game? Multiple parties involved including at least one person inside Trump's circle.

The question would still boil down to money. Who pays for the military to come out and help? The state? The Federal Government? If the federal government had the extra money they could just hire more secret service personnel. Activating the National Guard for something like this is something some states may not be able to afford. A lot of states are still trying to recover their budgets from activating the guard for all the riots a couple of years ago.

They should. I speculate using the military would be a lot safer than the SS right now. It's obvious there's a coup going on since nobody is taking shots at our current president and VP....only their political rival so the military instead of using SS and other three letter agencies is the best bet. Fight with your vote, not on the streets.

If you vote for other, please explain your plan below in comments.

And walking dogs

They're using DEI - putting unqualified people in the Secret Service.

They’re under something… influence
