So on Sunday he did. Just past 5 p.m. ET, a combination of boredom, agitation and yearning for adulation while convalescing from coronavirus brought the President to the rear seat of a black Chevy Suburban, waving frantically as he rode at a crawl down Rockville Pike while two US Secret Service agents, dressed in medical gowns, respirator masks and eye protection, stared stoically ahead.

Afterward, members of the Secret Service voiced escalating concern at what many of the agency's personnel have determined is total disregard for their well-being amid a deadly and highly contagious pandemic. Agents have tested positive for the virus while traveling for the President's political rallies, which he insisted on maintaining even against federal health guidelines. As employees self-quarantine or isolate in place, others have been forced to work longer hours to fill the void.

Don't forget there, Donald: these guys are your last line of defense when you refuse to accept an election loss and try to bunker down in the White House after your term is up.

True, but as others have noted, if you are gonna be cagey about whether or not you are gonna accept the election results, you really want your security detail to have more loyalty to you then "we are doing this because it is our job".

Can't they? It's still a job, nothing should be stopping them from refusing to work due to safety concerns.

Yeah protect him from an outside threat. Not one he is creating himself. They aren't his personal goon squad, they are there to keep him protected from assassination attempts, not personal political propaganda.

"they could just quit"

I mean, If you were working, lets say at Subway, and a customer without a mask came in, demanded you make them a sandwich and your boss said you had to do it, would you be able to "just quit" like its nothing? I understand the SS makes significantly more, but they shouldn't have to choose between their livelihood and their life in an unnecessary circumstance. Yes, their job is take a bullet for him, not be placed in front of a bullet shot from a gun he's holding. He did not need to put them at risk himself for a photo op. its that simple.

I didnt mean that in terms of its not a big deal which that was how it came across. It would be a big deal for most people to just up and quit. In my head I guess I was thinking about what would happen if all of them went on strike or something. It was a poor, not thought out, comment on my part to be honest

It's not a guess, they certainly could. If they werent committed to protecting the president at the cost of their lives they shouldnt have signed up for the job in the first place.

That and it should have been common knowledge amongst them since the beginning of the possibility of the president himself becoming sick.

So why their complaining now of all times is beyond me.

This. Yes I said they could quit at any time but that doesnt excuse Trump for being this irresponsible. They have a right to complain.

Yes. But thats also because I live in a populated area where if I'm working a job like Subway, I could easily get another job by days end working at 20 other fast food places.

Your train of thought under these circumstances is 'this is to risky. So it's not a option' well.... yes, it is actually, especially this close to elections.

And no one, at least to my knowledge, trying to win presidency would bunker down and essentially give up at this point.

He if was responsible and caught the virus, he could just use Twitter to campaign. He could also, gain sympathy from the public if done correctly. That is just one option on the top of my head. There are options to strengthen your position without putting your employees at risk like that

Do we live in 1902? There are countless ways he could continue to campaign while Social distancing properly. He didnt need to lock himself in an air tight car, putting others at risk, for a photo op.

Their job is to protect his life, not help him win reelection. Getting reelected is something he WANTS, not something necessary. These agents are essentially being forced into endangering their own lives, on Trump's orders, for the sake of Trump's pride.

As someone else mentioned, there is a difference between taking a bullet for the president, and letting the president shoot you for his own amusement

He needs far more exposure nationwide then what something like twitter can offer when trying to appeal to a country as large as the US. I can't really prove this objectively but if social media alone was enough politician's would be using it almost exclusively by now.

Maybe, but who are we to claim what is the most efficient means for him to go about campaigning? Ultimately weather or not he wins will be the deciding factor in the end.

Weather or not its necessary is up to the individual to decide. People have killed their own family, throughout most of history for similar positions of power. Hell people forfeit sherpas lives and even their own regularly for ambitions as mundane as climbing everest every year.

If the SS have a issue with being thought of as expandable then they can just throw their badges to the ground and walk away. With their resume they shouldn't have any trouble finding a new job ASAP.
