This is the kind of thing, if a regular citizen did it, would earn a visit from the Secret Service to ascertain intent and if there is any danger to the President.


The Secret Service has folks that are with him at all times. I am fairly certain they know his intent and can protect POTUS from him.

This begs the question, will Donnie's SS protection keep him from harming Joe, if that's Donnie's intent? I mean, Donnie's SS protection is to protect DOnnie, not keep him from doing anything illegal.

Not to mention that talk that a lot of Donny’s USSS agents are full-blown MAGA Kool-Aid drinkers.

Even though the possibility of Trump even trying to do physical harm is absurd, the Secret Service would fully protect POTUS. All the weird supposition of those who think that they are all MAGA folks and would help him, just show that some people just don't get it. They would do what they are trained to do if something like that happened. If all four active Presidents were at an event, their first obligation would be to protect the current President.

Their politic beliefs are personal; their duty is professional.

With Trump, we've seen their political beliefs impact their professional duties. Is it right that Joe, is has been stated, does not trust them.

Could be I’m misinterpreting what you wrote? Are you saying President Joe Biden does not trust the Secret Service to carry out their duty to protect him? If so, offer even a shred of evidence!!
