Trump wants Secret Service Protection and in doing so insults Obama

Donald Trump told The Hill that “the Secret Service should be giving him protection — and he suggested partisan politics might be why the agency isn’t providing it.”

Said Trump: “I want to put them on notice because they should have a liability. Personally, I think if Obama were doing as well as me he would’ve had Secret Service [earlier]. I have by far the biggest crowds.”

Does he ever get tired of being a blowhard egomaniac? I doubt it.

Said Trump: “I want to put them on notice because they should have a liability." Does he mean 'responsibility?' Maybe the Feds should throw in an interpreter as well.

Hillary Clinton, because she is the wife of a former President, is currently the only person running for President entitled to Secret Service at this point in time.

So, you might want to stick with your rent-a-goons for now.
