Clinton treated Secret Service like friends, Bush with respect, Obama like family, Trump like...

...servants.

Secret Service ‘at the end of their rope’ after being ‘treated like servants by Trump’



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/secret-service-at-the-end-of-their-rope-after-being-treated-like-servants-by-trump-report/

President Donald Trump’s lavish travel habits are putting a major financial strain on the Secret Service — and Center for Public Integrity reporter Christina Wilkie says that the president himself is a major source of stress as well.

On Twitter Monday morning, Wilkie wrote that “multiple sources” have told her that “Secret Service agents are at the end of their rope, sick of being treated like servants by Trump.”

One of Wilkie’s sources compared Trump’s treatment of Secret Service agents with the treatment given them by past presidents — and the comparison did not reflect well on the current president.

“Clinton treated USSS agents like friends,” the source told her. “Bush treated them with great respect. Obama, like family. Trump treats them like servants.”

Specifically, Wilkie’s sources tell her that Trump expects agents to regularly “fetch” things for him and be available to serve him at all times, regardless of when their shifts start or finish.

Previous administrations have run short. You can't predict two years ahead when budgeting happens. But not like this. And he said when money runs low keeping morale up is everything. You have to be treated with respect and feel as if you're doing important, appreciated work.

He also said so far this bunch has spent $60,000 on golf carts.

The Secret Service has "paid Donald Trump $60,000 to rent his golf carts." And to rent a floor in his building. And to rent rooms at his golf courses. And paid to eat meals in his restaurants.

The most disgusting part of the whole "Trump is draining the Secret Service accounts" imbroglio is, a huge percentage of the money it is costing the Secret Service to guard this asshole is being paid to that asshole.

The Secret Service agents on protective details should be treated, by their protectees especially, with great deference and respect. In the case of the president, I think it's no exaggeration to say these agents have the most important job in the country. Their job is no less than to protect the continuity and stability of our government. I can think of few things more traumatic and destabilizing for our country as a whole than the assassination of the president. To treat these people, who have to be constantly balanced on the knife's edge of alertness during their duty hours, who will take instant action to protect their charge, up to and including their own death, as servants that you can order around grates on me hugely. If any USSS agents are reading this, know that you have the gratitude and respect of most US citizens for the very important and necessary job you do. You accrue great honor by doing that job, even in the face of horribly disrespectful treatment by our current POTUS.

My SIL's youngest brother was with the SS back in the Bush Jr era. He said Barbara Bush treated the SS nicely. Even at that time the SS was having retention problems. Instead of having to be available for security work say every other month, SS agents were permanently on call. It became hard to have a private life because you really couldn't schedule any activities becasue you never knew when you might be called in. He eventually left.

I don't see how the SS could tolerate the treatment that Trump would dole out to them.

Now that the SS is running out of money maybe agents will transfer to other agencies and back to investigation rather than protection.

This abuse of government agencies must be stopped and agents leaving maybe the only way to teach this traitor how shit is supposed to work.

and she made it clear to John and to the agent that the agent's job was to protect John and not perform tasks John could do for himself.

Of course, Jackie was not insecure and didn't need to prove anything to anybody about her position in life or on the "A List" in Manhattan society - a group Trump has long wanted to be part of but has never quite made it.

89. Each in character, in other words. I have a funny Clinton Secret Service story:
Tue Aug 22, 2017, 05:43 AM
Aug 2017

While Clinton was in office, my father was president of a D.C. journalists' group known as The Gridiron Club. They put on a dinner/show each year for the president, VP, cabinet, foreign dignitaries, and especially, other journalists. Most politicians get mildly roasted, but as their present-day invocation implies, "Ladies are always present, reporters are never present, and the Gridiron singes, but it never burns."

When he attends (Clinton loved it, Bush was lukewarm, Obama usually attended, but I imagine Trump avoids it like the plague), the president of the US gives a humorous speech (as does everyone). The year I was there, Clinton absolutely owned the room. My father, as Gridiron president, was charged with giving the Secret Service guy in Clinton's immediate proximity (and therefore also his) a code name. My dad had no idea what kind of code name to give a Secret Service agent, but they told him that he had to pick the name, so he finally said, OK, then his code name will be "Placido Flamingo." The Secret Service guy winced, but said nothing, and Placido Flamingo he was.

During a brief pause in the proceedings, Clinton had already put his prepared speech on the podium. Senator Pat Moynihan of New York, who was also at our table in front of the podium, was already pretty plastered. Moynihan had seen Clinton put his speech on the podium, and before anyone had noticed, he stepped up and grabbed Clinton's speech and started reading through it. Clinton finally noticed, and got his speech back, but he was furious, and told "Placido Flamingo" off for letting Moynihan get near it. Poor "Placido Flamingo" took it silently, but he obviously saw no danger to Clinton from a tipsy prominent Senator from Clinton's own party, and obviously had no idea of the reason Moynihan had approached the podium.

We all had a laugh about it afterward, but I'll bet "Placido Flamingo (we never knew his real name)" hadn't heard the last of it.

Trump is an asshole to the Secret Service http://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/secret-service-at-the-end-of-their-rope-after-being-treated-like-servants-by-trump-report/

President Donald Trump’s lavish travel habits are putting a major financial strain on the Secret Service — and Center for Public Integrity reporter Christina Wilkie says that the president himself is a major source of stress as well.

On Twitter Monday morning, Wilkie wrote that “multiple sources” have told her that “Secret Service agents are at the end of their rope, sick of being treated like servants by Trump.”

One of Wilkie’s sources compared Trump’s treatment of Secret Service agents with the treatment given them by past presidents — and the comparison did not reflect well on the current president.

“Clinton treated USSS agents like friends,” the source told her. “Bush treated them with great respect. Obama, like family. Trump treats them like servants.”

Specifically, Wilkie’s sources tell her that Trump expects agents to regularly “fetch” things for him and be available to serve him at all times, regardless of when their shifts start or finish.
