You are supposed to keep the president and his family safe. But does that mean keep him safe from himself? Do you tell him, "No more two scoops for you, Mr. president!" Do you knock the phone out of his hands before he can tweet his latest string of BS that will land him in hot water? Do you remind him to put on a jacket when it's cold outside so he doesn't get sick?
Obviously, Sekulow thinks the SS is a glorified nanny service, and tRump is fine going along with that. Just one of the many perks of being king and having everything funded by the American taxpayers.

(115,839 posts)They are obligated to protect the president, even if he is a total douche, and they know that. Who knows what they might sometimes think, though?

I know this is the movie version of events, but I'm guessing that there are a lot of instances in which an agent could let something happen and claim innocence. This is just part of the reason why it's so stupid to try and blame the SS for Jr's screw up.
