This is unprecidented.....

Much of this we already know....but....the Secret Service speaking out? Ever? About anything with respect to a President, sitting or former? The operative word is the first one in their name. They know more about Presidents, their families and all the REAL goings on in the White House than anyone. This is massive.

Trump seemed to defy the laws of science and disease. Then, the coronavirus caught up with him.

Secret Service agents expressed their anger and frustration to colleagues and friends Friday, saying that the president’s actions have repeatedly put them at risk. “He’s never cared about us,” one agent told a confidant, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the internal reaction.

Trump is too stupid and arrogant to understand that, if you want to be a dictator, you have to have a personal security force that you treat well to make them completely loyal until you have full power.

and he couldn't even bother to tell you that he got COVID so you can do the preventions to stay safe, some resentment is bound to happen.
