Pure speculation here, but my secret to getting the best protection from my own bodyguards is that I'm pretty rarely an asshole to people who work for me.

Also, I don't have very many bodyguards. Because I'm not important. So my experience may not be relevant.

I don’t get it, I assume it has something to do with the Trump assassination attempt. Did the secret service not look up a slope or something?

Are we all sure the SS was putting in 110% that day?

I get it - they're pros - but hear me out : Trump.

The WHAT??

For real: is that how the secret service really is abbreviated? Talk about a Freudian slip...

(And I know that the secret service is older... I think)

Usually people use USSS for this reason

I always thought the USSS was the GOP.

The secret service was established by the Department of the Treasury 159 years ago under the Abraham Lincoln to suppress the counterfeiting of currency, which is still their primary mission

Umm, not really my point, but thanks, I guess?
