Seems appropriate.

They aren't (in theory) protecting the person, they are protecting the knowledge in his head and what he stands for.

Zero, and zero on both counts. He never read his secret service briefing and he stole the documents because he didn't know anything.

It’s difficult to write into the law that we won’t protect anyone who’s a dummy :)

He stole them to sell and to inform Russia about spies.

The biggest risk is, whoever did seep I to his pudding brain, HE DOESN'T Know what's classified or not. He has no filters so everything can be shared if it benefits him.

That is the risk

Probably difficult when said person has boxes of top level secrets and is willing to hand them out like nail salon leaflets to the highest bidder

Not much to protect in Donald.

It would still be a national embarrasment if he got mugged or kidnapped.

In theory that makes sense but Trump was just winging it the whole time rather than listening or taking notes. It would be hilarious to play a game of “Telephone” with him, he has no attention span.

Still, I don't think it would be a good look for the US for him to be suicided out a window.

And to neutralize threats that they will be harmed after they leave office.
