Trump plans a private security force [View all]

‘More evidence of pending tyranny’: Robert Reich sounds the alarm on Trump’s private security force

The Politico article quotes security experts such as former Secret Service Agent Jonathan Wackrow, who says that Trump is “playing with fire” by using both the Secret Service and his own security detail.

“[It] increases the Service’s liability, it creates greater confusion and it creates greater risk,” he said of Trump’s continued use of a private firm.

In the conclusion of his post, Reich calls upon Congress to “make it illegal for a president to have a private security force accountable to no one but himself.”
