Once again Mr. Trump demonstrates that he really is the smartest man in the room! The SS may be good but they are feds.

Yes. Protect the President well, and if need be use extreme prejudice.

Further proving that Trump is no fool. Trust nobody as you take office. You need to clean house first!

President Trump has been in MASSIVE crowds over and over again, taking LONG ass walks to the podium, stopping to applaud and turn his back to the lamestream cameras ..... and I’ve never seen a hint of a bullet proof jacket/vest.

Smart ... This creates even another layer of Security for his protection ... Which he will seriously need from the sounds of the large amount Liberal Insurgents out there.
