There are Nat'l Sec Implications to Twitler Keeping a Private Security Force

[LaydeeBug]

As the daughter of an Army Officer, I well know it.

Just *imagine* if President Gore had installed his own private security, or *ANY* other dem? Nope. These Hatriots will endorse this shit.

What if the private security turns on him, because they can be bribed?

1. And what happens if they go up against the Secret Service?

2. Secret Service will love this

They will be accompanied by guys in fatigues, combat boots,helmets and rifles and who knows what other weapons.

3. Mercenaries are not reliable.

They do all sorts of dumbshit things because there's no solid set of overarching rules of engagement and interactions for the command structure to enforce. And they're easy to bribe; most mercenaries are cynical and loyal only to their paycheck. They also know they're the first ones to be blamed if anything goes wrong, the first ones in the line of fire if their employer is a dumb-ass narcissistic walking target.

While Drumphf's CoS may be loyal - and I have no doubt he is - and thinks of himself as "Donnie's good buddy", further down the chain, they're just working for the paycheck and the lulz, as the kids nowadays say.
And they know if it doesn't work out there, hey - some other rich f-wad will be willing to hire them to stand around, work-out when not on duty, pack some serious heat they don't have to pay for, and otherwise play Hollywood bad-ass.

4. What's this about? Is he actually going to do that? n/t

5. Worse

What if his private security turn on citizens.

He cannot privatize Presidential security

7. He *is* though. nt

6. Who pays for this "private" force?

These guys will need to be vetted by someone, like the NSA. We need to know if these people are a security risk. Will they have access to the White House or will they be housed elsewhere. Another big cost. I don't see how they wouldn't interfer with the Secret Service.

By the way, usually only demogogues run around with a personall bodyguard.

Actually, Trump is a demogogue.
