Secret Service agents lash out at Donald Trump

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Secret Service agents sign up for the heroic job of protecting the office of the President of the United States at all costs, even when that cost ends up being their own safety. They know the risks going in. But what happens when the President is a deranged psychopath who negligently and purposely puts the Secret Service at risk, as part of his own deranged game?

In a remarkable development, current Secret Service agents are privately lashing out at Donald Trump over his reckless disregard for their safety, and those conversations are now leaking to the Washington Post. They’re saying that it’s “so obvious” that Trump has “never cared about us.”

This is unprecedented, but it isn’t necessarily surprising. Donald Trump’s lies and intentional negligence caused the coronavirus crisis in the United States to begin with. And then Trump’s decision to hold packed in-person rallies during the pandemic has put the lives of Secret Service agents at direct risk, for no justifiable reason.
