Security for Trumps Son and Daughter

But the Prez's kids are running his businesses with security paid for by taxpayers.

The businesses don't benefit from the security.

I think this is wise. Trump is unstable enough as it is - can you imagine what he'd be like if one of his children was killed or kidnapped?

Or worse yet, ever had to meet one of the plebs sordida?

I think it's not helping the cause to make up unrealistic or obviously unjust accusations against Trump just to try and make him look bad. He has enough legitimate fuckups, if we're starting to level accusations against him that are based on double standards and ignorance wrt standard procedure, it just makes the cause vulnerable to attack.

Indeed. No fucking need to make up shit, if the current (supposed) target rich environment is not providing sufficient rotten tomatoes to hurl at the Trumpites, maybe they aren't actually doing that badly at all ??

Hmmmmmmm, something to think about, particularly in light of my prior suspicion the fear on the left is not of Trump failing, it is of him succeeding.

I don't like Trump, but this has absolutely nothing to do with my reasoning behind that. This is a non-issue.

Billy Carter, a drunken sot of man, had Secret Service protection while hawking his Billy Beer.  What's the fucking difference?

Jimmy Carter was not profiting from Billy Beer.

The Secret Service provides security for the Prez's family. Rightfully so. But the Prez's kids are running his businesses with security paid for by taxpayers. I think they should reimburse us for this service while conducting private business.

I'm unsure why. Are they not allowed to have a job while being president's family? Is it important what business they are running?

Yes they can have a job and need security. Trump has not divested himself of his businesses. His kids are given security to conduct business for the Presidents personal profit.
