(82,849 posts)I wonder why you never see Trump wade into a crowd of his supporters? Maybe he's not as tough as the little Somali woman?

(4,448 posts)Secret Service and the huge risk of physical harm.
She isn't going to any more bullet resistant than any other human being or president.
Honestly she should have better protection. Trump has stirred up alot of crazy people.

(4,448 posts)I know actual secret service agents. They are really careful and would never put Obama in danger.

(82,849 posts)You're just embarrassing yourself.

(4,448 posts)Look. The Secret Service simply does not put the President into an unscreened crowd. They don't and you know why.
Obama especially. Obama had more death threats than any other President. Why? Because racist hated him.

Nonetheless, Presidents DO like to be among people and it looks great for the media. In those cases the SS works very hard to build a bubble around them. But don't kid yourself that it's totally spontaneous.
I'm not sure why you are taking an aggressive angry stance to me. But it's not necessary.
Enjoy your evening.

(1,622 posts)...The USSS would never allow a Presidential protectee to wade into an un-screened crowd without having prepared for it beforehand.
Never. Ever.
Anyone who thinks differently is flat wrong, period...

(37,748 posts)Regardless of how valid it may be, I think we all know that the SS is merely the most convenient of many, many reasons Trump would never allow himself to be reduced to simply a face in the crowd.

They're more than happy to insult her constituents.

Thank you Minnesota!
Tears of gladness here.

(628 posts)So glad to see the warm welcome after everything going on! I hope the media plays this on the networks. Makes me feel a little better about this country after seeing that chant at Trump's rally.
