9. I want to see ALL presidential security gotten rid of

No Air Force 1, make every federal employee fly coach. I secretary and the guy with the football.

Democrat or Republican, I want the POTUS having to spend 7 hours next to a colicky baby. I want anyone getting a federal salary to have to take the bus or the cheapest rental car. I want to *NEVER* hear about traffic being blocked off, or flights impacted by someone who should feel LUCKY to be my servant.

I want no elected official to have any more security, or privelege than I have. We already pay them too damned much and they get free rent, too.

F-Trump, F anyone who wants or thinks they need a lifestyle beyond that of a retail clerk and wants taxpayers to pay for it.

Presidents, senators, congresspeople, they should be treated no better than real workers like teachers and janitors.
