After all its failures leading up to and during last month's attempt on Trump's life, the least the Secret Service could do was provide Trump with the most protection available at his future outdoor events. Any questions about Trump being scared, however, were quashed when he courageously left the safety of the bulletproof glass to embrace a woman who had been in distress.
It would be much easier and safer for Trump to take the Secret Service's advice and stick to indoor venues. But if his ego insists on outdoor events, he should be appreciative of the government's protection. But aside from where he's speaking, Trump must draw more scrutiny for his false claims about NATO, Afghanistan, and the Russia-Ukraine war — i.e. the dangerous content of his remarks.
