The result of administration policies.

The President of Mexico has no bodyguards.
Until 2018, the Mexican Army had provided a detail of trained soldiers as their version of our USSS. They wore plainclothes when escorting their president.
The last President, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, disbanded this unit.
When a reporter asked why he did that, the socialist president replied: "Why do I need them? Who would want to hurt me? The people of Mexico will protect me." [sic]
President Obrador concluded his five-year term -- in a country wrought by narco-terrorism -- without incident.
His successor, Claudia Sheinbaum, continued this practice.
Now look at the US.
Even poor Dr Fauci had to hire private bodyguards to protect him from his fellow Americans.
If Congress passes legislation that no federal civil servant, including the POTUS, receives security, perhaps our leaders will be less quick to pull the trigger to kill someone. And our elected leaders may promote policies that benefit the American people, not rob them or hurt them.
Sidenote: The Canadian RCMP offers a small PSD detail to former PMs who stay in public life, if the PM requests it.
Some have declined the bodyguards.

To quote someone on drudge.com: "Just sayin.'"
"FUNNY 2"
Democrats got the largest margin of victory by any political party nationwide since 1928 with 56%
For comparison, Republicans won in 1994 (Newt Gingrich, et al) with 51%
A lot of the "Trumpy vote" in 2016 and 2024 wasn't from conservatives or voters who identified as Republicans.
They voted overwhelmingly for Dems this year in red states and blue states.
The game has changed. Bigly!
