It's extremely obvious that Trump values loyalty over competence. I seem to remember that he gave key posts in White House security to the people who had been in his private security detail beforehand. People like Keith Schiller.
It would also not surprise me if he got to hand-pick his Secret Service detail to be people who he could get along with (i.e. people he felt were loyal). We may find out in a few years that Trump deliberately picked the most loyal ones, who also happened to be the most incompetent, and is partly responsible for their lapses. That is, if we're allowed to. If Trump wins, he's gonna take his Sharpie to all this and we'll never find out how it all really went down.
Yeah. It shows his lack of intelligence too. Would you rather be protected by a yes man. Or… someone trained to fucking protect you that cares nothing about you and only about protecting their package. I’ll take option B 1000000% of the time. Thanks.
