Why can't the United States Sectet Service refuse to let trump's rally happen

[Danmel]

They can't protect him from a deadly virus in that type of setting. Couldn't they call a code?

Aside from the fact that he is putting everyone of them a grave risk too.
Have I mentioned how much I loathe him.

[SCantiGOP]

1. I'm surprised to see you loathe him

I thought you were just worried about him

[Danmel]

3. I wanted to make it abundantly clear, lol

But that is their job. Can't they say no can do SIR! We need to keep YOU safe SIR!!!
😳

6. We could put him in a bubble mobile vehicle like the pope.

2. Our Secret Service agents are being asked to take a virus for the President.

4. Perhaps they know Cheeto Benito is immune to the virus

Bunker Boi is not known for being courageous where his precious hide is concerned. He’s incredibly unconcerned about being in close proximity to infected individuals, making me wonder if he’s been injected with antibodies or received other treatments unavailable to the ordinary citizen. If it ever comes to light that he’s been receiving extra-special treatments, lotta people are gonna be plenty pissed.

8. I have thought this for a long time,

at least the part about treatments unavailable to ordinary people. I have been afraid to express the thought anywhere, because it is so tinfoil hat.

I believe there was a "Madam Secretary" episode a few years ago that touched on something like this. In that episode, there was an evil African warlord who became ill with a fatal disease. He became aware that there was a vaccine available, on a limited basis, that could cure the fatal illness. There were something like seven doses left in the entire world. The U.S. government gained concessions from him for a dose of the vaccine.

Maybe it is possible that trump has received, or is receiving treatment. Maybe there are a limited number of vaccines that are promising but not yet available to everyone, not yet widely tested.

It is still very CT. I hate to say it out loud.

[Cirque du So-What]

10. Yep, I kept that to myself for a long time too

It’s so blatant, however, that it can’t be ignored.

[Nay]

11. I don't think the idea is CT -- Antibodies from plasma is available for patients with COVID,

and you can bet Trump has called Bethesda and demanded to be injected regularly with antibodies.

5. As far as I'm concerned, allowing trump/GOPers to look stupid and a threat to society,

is in the interest of national security.

[duforsure]

7. You can bet they've been threatened if they do anything

He will get them fired and replaced. Tulsa should just declare it a health emergency to prevent its happening there. trump's intentionally inciting a violent confrontation to redirect away from his tanking polls numbers and away from Biden's huge increases in the polls , which are showing people are running away from Trump in huge numbers now.

9. What I want to know is on what authority did Secret Service could tell the mayor of Tulsa to cancel

the curfews for tonight.

[StarfishSaver]

13. No one. They requested the curfew be lifted. They didn't order it.

They have no such authority.

[StarfishSaver]

12. No.

They don't have that kind of authority. If the president decides an event will occur and that he will attend, the Secret Service's only job is to make the physical space as safe as possible and to protect him while he's there. But they can't shut an event down or order that it not happen.
