The Second Amendment Foundation announced that they are willing to "challenge the law" and "defend" Donald Trump if the New York Police Department revokes his concealed carry license.
So which one is it? Do you now think they shouldn’t be lifetime or do you agree with Obama?
I think I was very clear on the topic. Which part did you find confusing?
Here is what I said
Personally, I think they should keep them for life. Yes it is a tax payer expense but for their service, I think it is a good expense.
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.
Dude probably has no idea how to properly handle a gun, AND he has a permanent secret service detail.
This has zero impact on his life, other than politically.
Not permanent. He will lose his security at some point. Obama changed the direction of how long people keep secret service details.

Of course you believe that Obama did something about it and you can’t have that!

Yeah, and you have Obama to thank for that.
You also said: “He will lose them at some point. Obama changed The direction of how long people keep their secret service details.”
You’re wrong about him losing them, thanks to Obama.
Thanks, Obama!
Trump was never of any service to the country. He has only ever been a problem, and has only ever served himself.
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.
