Yet he rests assured that he’ll be protected by the Secret Service for his lifetime (until the Executive Order he signed is rescinded).
SS protection was changed to 10 years after term but he engineered lifetime protection for himself (and to his obvious dismay, Bush) as a result of our ‘problem’ with unidentified non-religious terrorists he won’t name or condemn (Muslims) after 9/11.
He’s a chickensh!t Muslim that is ALWAYS working our laws against us. And when he can’t subvert the law, he makes new ones through EOs.

As limos go the beast is not the most pleasing to the eye.

I hope this is the first EO that Trump removes. Lifetime protection from what, his religion of peace buddies? Give me a break. This guy just wants all the pomp that goes with it like some third world dictator. Would not be surprised if he does not come up with a uniform complete with sunglasses, medals, and epaulets.

It has to be interesting that he’d refer to anything in Apocalyptic terms.

I don’t care about anything those awful people do. Without a doubt, he and the people who put him in power are the worst thing to happen to this country in my life time..

I think lifetime protection for former Presidents and their families has been around for quite a while. Well before 0. I know we were noting that Hilary was going to have it after she and Bill left office back in 2001 on this forum.

That’s possible, but the huge bribe he gets from the Clinton Global Initiative relative to offering a pardon to Hillary will likely make him wealthy beyond his dreams.

In the eighth year of his presidency, he does this? Helps with his fake legacy of saving the Earth...

My first impression was, I too thought he was dumping the mooooooooooooch. That will come later but for now, what ever happened to that special bus he had built but never used? Perhaps he would like to travel about in that behemoth instead of the “beast”.
