180K salary is insane, i can almost guarantee that you can find people to do it for a fraction of that. Hell, seal team 6 makes about a third of that.
whoa, can already see the dystopian version of him being always escorted by privately hired mercenaries in full black armor...
This is something you don't even think is possible. Like, surely the government has accounted for the budgetary needs of the secret service.
Ya, it probably means they just keep going on faith and get reimbursed when the next admin pops in or something.
It's just such a weird thing to let happen considering how dead set they are on traveling everywhere. And good lord do I not want a sitting President to get assassinated again
If I wasn't getting paid to protect an orange piece of refuse, you can bet your bottom dollar I would turn in my two weeks notice.

Everything about this presidency reminds me of that episode.Got reminded of that Simpsons where Homer is sanitation commissioner and spends the year's budget in a month.

Just go out there and I'll pay ya double next timeThis is basically like when an indy promoter says 'I'll get you next time kid' except it applies to the people protecting the President
And it probably ends with them bouncing and leaving him extremely unprotected which ain't good at all

~35% increase in protectees, but also with a way higher frequency in frivolous self-serving travel.Alles said the service is grappling with an unprecedented number of White House protectees. Under Trump, 42 people have protection, a number that includes 18 members of his family. That's up from 31 during the Obama administration.
Since his inauguration, Trump has taken seven trips to his estate in Mar-a-Lago, Fla., traveled to his Bedminster, N.J., golf club five times and returned to Trump Tower in Manhattan once.
Trump's frequent visits to his "winter White House" and "summer White House" are especially challenging for the agency, which must maintain a regular security infrastructure at each – while still allowing access to paying members and guests.
Look at this shit. Look at it.Trump's other sons, Trump Organization executives Donald Jr. and Eric, based in New York, also are covered by security details including when they travel frequently to promote Trump-branded properties in other countries.
Either this is where he makes his play to hire Blackwater as his Praetorian Guard, or far more likely, he's phenomenally dumb.
im expecting this.
im expecting him to hire mercenary bodyguard.I mean, if you're expecting him to be phenomenally dumb, you're basically always going to be correct by default.
Are former presidents and family also protected by the secret service after the presidency?
The guy who sells those white and blue shirts is making bank.Man, if Mitt Romney had been elected President back then.
Out of money the first week.
Yep, with the Secret Service broke and no longer able to protect him, he'll have to create his own bodyguards! I'm sure they'll want some continuity with the old organisation, though, so they'll probably do something like keep the initials.
