    Are you saying that you reckon an ex-president, who commits any crime (before, during or after serving) should still be protected by the SS?

    Including convictions for murder? Extortion? Rape? Child rape?

      The protection comes because of the risk of the title. So yes, until they die.

      If the SS has to protect Trump in prison so be it.

        Jokes aside about the SA, sorry SS, protecting one privileged group of individuals…

        At what point should an ex-president lose SS? Is it forever just because they held power? What happens if they start to suffer dementia and start blurting out secrets?

          It’s just my opinion but forever. They are at more of risk because of their previous job. As such spending money to protect them isn’t a crazy idea to me.

          Obama had Bin Laden killed. I wouldn’t be surprised if some terrorist group wants to kill him in return.
