I just want him to feel like he can never trust anyone. No matter how much he pays his bodyguards, it would only take someone else offering a few of them just a little bit more to get him out of the way.
You’re right. Think about this. On January 6, 2021, Trump was illegally inciting an insurrection. He was surrounded by Secret Service agents who are only ostensibly paid to protect him.
Secret Service agents first oath is to defend the Constitution. So, they actually had a primary duty that day, not to protect Trump, but to arrest him.
They had all sworn a solemn oath that required them to take action against Trump, but nobody did anything of the sort. In fact, they famously broke the law by not retaining the information from their phones from that day.
Who is going to protect him from his own security personnel?
Hopefully he just vets them by asking grok “should I hire these guys”
Hopefully no one.
Someone should send him a historical overview of Rome’s Praetorian Guard.
please don’t do that
send it to the bodyguards instead

Yeah, 20 is about the point at which you’re actually making it easier for a nut job with a gun to get access to you.
That’s why he had a human shield with him
Why would he need protection from them? When was the last time security personnel offed the person they were hired to protect?
1989, when Nicolae Ceasescu got killed by the Romanian Army officers he ran to for protection.
I always love to be reminded about that. It probably should have happened years earlier, but you take what you can get.
