It is absolutely ridiculous that the Secret Service and tax payer dollars provides security for Ex-Presidents.
This waste of government resources and tax dollars needs to stop.

Regardless of the who the person occupying the White House is, their actions on behalf of the United States of America, can, and often does, put a target on their backs.
The nation owes them protection for stepping up and accepting that role, on behalf of the people.
Nothing short of full protection is acceptable.
The alternative is for US Presidents to turn to corruption, and arrange for a tidy sum to be set aside. For instance, $2.5B USD from Saudi Arabia, so they can hire their own protective service when they leave office.
Other ex Presidents have never stooped this low, but it's about the principle.
Turns out security for Trump was upped significantly due to what we know is an Iranian plot to assassinate him (a couple of weeks prior to the 20 year old Incel's actions).
