Maybe he doesn't want to lose his security detail.

He's got a net worth of 250 million dollars. He can afford private security.

Private security is nowhere near as good as the Secret Service.

yep and thats not the fucking point.

the point is that trump is a maniac who has been enabled to do up until this point anything he wants. We can all sit around and bitch about him and call him names on the internet but were not a former president who is basically the enemy of all conservatives and the republican party. I wouldnt be super eager to voice it out either if i was obama, because he did a LOT of campainging the last 3 elections and two of them lost, on top of the same rules simply dont apply to dems, they arent allowed to bitch about anything while fox news is allowed to bitch about everything. people who want to listen to him will and everyone else basically hates him, Im not sure what hes supposed to do
