Well, half of them don't even work. The other half doesn't seem all that interested.

I'd suggest reassignment them to augmenting the patrols on the Southern Border, but then they'd spend their time scoring coke and boning the pretty female illegals, so they wouldn't do their jobs there, either.

Hell with it. Lay 'em off.

Bingo, simple solution.

So a billionaire with mostly grown children and an international presence will be more difficult to guard than an Illinois state legislator with two small daughters?

All of those grown children, their spouses, and their children are receiving Secret Service protection.

Didn’t Milt Romney have a large, spread-out brood, as is typical in his religion?

Since Romney was never president then the question is moot.

Reagan and Ford had quite a few adult children if my memory serves.

Different times. None of them received Secret Service protection. None of them needed it.

Yes they did. I remember reading about it in USN&WR. And why are we blaming Trump and his family for how violent the Democrats have become?

And Ivana or Mary would be kidnapped the next day.

As the GOP candidate, Romney and family had SS Exec. Protection, as did Ryan.

Add to that Melania has four staff members. Michelle had dozens.

Yeah, I don't think his son had a bodyguard during the Makin raid.

Yet they had the money to accompany Obama and The Lovely Michelle when they went overseas every several weeks with 400+ staff, five C-17s full of their junk, and 20 armored cars (let’s not even talk about The Lovely Michelle’s personal staff of 124 people). How strange.

Oh, puleeze. As many vacations Moo, grandma and all their many friends and staff took on our dime. Barry couldn’t drive around the block without Valjar so that’s double the security. Dogs had separate planes. Basketballs had separate planes.

They want to whine about Trump’s houses? Barry has at last count 5 houses. At least we’re not paying to fly anyone to Hawaii.

Under Obama they overspent on drugs and hookers. Now they claim it’s Trump’s fault.

It was really pleasant when the Secret Service was really secret. Now it seems composed of balding and fat whiners who should be put out to pasture.

That’s nothing compared to the Obozos taking two 747’s to get to the same place on the same day. And how about taking her 100 BFF’s to Madrid and renting out the Ritz to comfort a friend who was “down”. Getting back and forth to Hawaii, on separate planes, isn’t cheap, either.

Meanwhile, CNN both quotes USA Heute as factual and refutes them at the same time.
Later Monday morning, [Secret Service Director Randolph “Tex”] Alles told CNN in a statement that the problem isn’t just related to the Trump administration and has been going on for many years.

“This issue is not one that can be attributed to the current administration’s protection requirements but, rather, has been an ongoing issue for nearly a decade due to an overall increase in operational tempo,” he said in the statement. …
And who was POTUS for “nearly a decade” of late? Yup, exactly.

“So a billionaire with mostly grown children and an international presence will be more difficult to guard than an Illinois state legislator with two small daughters? “

Don’t forget Michelle’s Obama’s mother lived in the White House and received protection. Valerie Jarrett also had a Secret Service detail. Obama’s close friend Reggie likely had protection as well.
