Secret service says Trump gets 6-8 threats per day, not worse than Bush or Obama.


The US Secret Service has an enormous task protecting President Donald Trump and his family, due in part to their complex structure.

Trump's adult children remain closely connected to the president while also maintaining the family business, and they must all be kept under federal protection.

Costs for guarding the Trumps were estimated to eventually surpass that of President Barack Obama's eight years in office.

Most of the costs have been accrued by Trump's frequent weekend visits to his golf courses and Mar-a-Lago, in Florida.

It costs a fortune to protect the first family, about $120m was allocated recently.

There was also significant backlash from New York City residents over the high security costs for first lady Melania Trump and their son, Barron, while he finished the school year in Manhattan, however the two have since moved to Washington DC.

Don't mind him. Probably he is thinking winning a war is by emotions.

No country can withstand the firepower of the US military especially on conventional warfare. The US is only showing restraint because of the casualties from a nuclear fallout.
US has the capacity to overrun NK in a day.

The man should go and study Global Firepower Index and learn for himself.
For every one submarine in the Russian fleet, the US has 20, likewise destroyers and cutters etc.
It is only the US that can pride herself with having over 20 aircraft carriers as against just a single one in the Chinese fleet, and Russia's none.

Airpower, no country comes near the US. Russia and China can only dare. With an effective and efficient missile delivery system, missile defence system (THAAD), elite supersonic jets like F-22 Raptors etc US is lord of the air.

The list goes on and on.....US will still be around for sometime, and definitely is not showing signs of passing the baton to another country anytime soon.
Anyone that thinks otherwise has a slippery relationship with the truth.

North Korea is never a match for US in Combat anytime any day, but will suffer casualty, but body go pepper NK so well that even their 7th Generation would not recover from the disasters of the fight.. Ask Nagasaki how far?

I swear story... This dude is comparing the US Air Force with Russia.

I asked a simple question but the stupidity in you couldn't answer it without been salty. US can't do nather to NK. Why haven't they done that a long time again? Didn't they attack Syria, Iraq, Afganistan et Al without thinking twice but here is NK, they can't bully them.

N.B, China and Russia are right behind them.

I think I need to qualify this. the u.s. is the only country in the world to have a fleet of nuclear powered submarines. even russia still uses diesel powered submarines and north korea can't boost of a single nuclear powered submarine.

chiron:


What about the Korean War and World War II... North Korea dealt with USA

I swear story... This dude is comparing the US Air Force with Russia.

ReubenE:

How and what do you mean with the above?
Do you mean to say Russian air force is superior to that of the US?
If this is what you mean then you are wrong bro....

US has an aircraft strength of over 13,000 aircrafts with nearly 3,000 fighter aircraft alone.
This is by far above Russia's aircraft strength of less than 4,000 aircrafts with just over 800 fighter aircraft & attack aircraft of 1,438.



Secondly, look at their defence budgets alone. It will clearly show you that Russia is no match for the US.....
Defence budget of the US is well over $587billion
This is followed by China with $161billion
Then Russia with $44billion.

My brother, just imagine how much these monies can give a country in terms of military hardware.

The only thing that Russia surpasses every other country is their cache of nuclear weapons, which most of them are not even ready for combat.

I admire Russia and how she has been able to balance the US, but in conventional warfare, US has a big edge over Russia.
We don't have to be emotional you know!

Should Nigeria build one or two aircraft carriers that would cost $1.4bn?

Abraham Lincoln created the agency the day he was assassinated.


However, the original mission of the Secret Service was not to protect the president.


Only after attacks on the president happened did the agents' duties expand.

we don't even have the resources to build and properly manage a modern destroyer without devastating our national budget.
