Trump has the right to decline secret service security as a candidate and former president if he wishes (I doubt that he will.)



That sounds correct.


Here's another in 2022:

Trump plane makes emergency landing after engine failure

Mar. 9, 2022

A plane carrying former President Donald Trump was forced to make an emergency landing in New Orleans last weekend after suffering engine failure over the Gulf of Mexico.

The details of the emergency landing, first reported by Politico, were confirmed Wednesday by a person familiar with the incident who was not authorized to speak publicly about it and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The engine failure occurred shortly before 11 p.m. Saturday as the former president was traveling on a donor’s private plane from a Republican National Committee donor retreat in New Orleans back to his Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago. One of the plane’s engines failed roughly 75 miles (120 kilometers) after leaving New Orleans Lakefront Airport, according to the person familiar with the incident.

Trump was traveling with advisers, a Secret Service detail and support staff.

I think Trump bought his 757 jet for $100 million from Paul Allen (Mr. Softie).


I'd buy another to have as a backup in the case of avoiding another air service.

So private security guarding the jets, add mechanics to the payroll, and have a backup jet.

They came off when he got tackled by the agents.

He wears lifts in them so they probably came off pretty easily.

Maybe. I’ve never worn shoes with lifts but if I’m wearing dress shoes properly tied, they wouldn’t come off if I was run over by a bus.

These kind come off easily. I don't know what he was wearing though.

Snopes has nothing on this, so we'll have to stay tuned

The Secret Service is investigating a report that says an agent left her post at a Trump event to breastfeed... after RealClearPolitics correspondent Susan Crabtree said that a female Secret Service agent abandoned her post at former President Donald Trump's Wednesday campaign rally in Asheville, North Carolina, "to breastfeed with no permission/warning to the event site agent."

Why would they assign a breastfeeding secret service agent to a roof in the first place? Even Secret Service must have times when they need to reassign someone like a guy gets a sprain at a weekend activity and wouldn't be able to run very well, so they give him a different assignment or a desk job.

it can be a ridiculous development without it being an agent assigned to guard a roof

I guess it could have been an agent that has no duty whatsoever to directly protect the person, only indirectly then of course, so, we'll see.

Or maybe Biden is still directing the Secret Service to just use some dumb chicks at Trump rallies. Yes, I'm being very bad!

Ever see an NFL game where a player is running so fast his cleat comes off? The human foot is a geometric oddity.
