In reply to the discussion: Clinton treated Secret Service like friends, Bush with respect, Obama like family, Trump like... [View all]avebury
(11,200 posts)59. At what point will the Secret Service to an exodus of agents?
My SIL's youngest brother was with the SS back in the Bush Jr era. He said Barbara Bush treated the SS nicely. Even at that time the SS was having retention problems. Instead of having to be available for security work say every other month, SS agents were permanently on call. It became hard to have a private life because you really couldn't schedule any activities becasue you never knew when you might be called in. He eventually left.
I don't see how the SS could tolerate the treatment that Trump would dole out to them.
