This forced the campaign to cancel the rally. By contrast, Harris held a rally in Wisconsin just the week before.

Was Harris' rally at the same time as the UN General Assembly?

The Secret Service said it was low on personnel because of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, where they have to provide security for foreign leaders during their time in the US.

The Independent article is lacking of names for it's sources.

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China ?

I did hear that Trump had to change venues for a Georgia rally, from outside to an arena. Because of the UN General Assembly. What does that have to do with the price of tea in China ?

Is Sham a la getting Secret Service protection in Arizonia today ?

UN General Assembly happens every year in September.

Presidential Election happens every four years.

Secret Service is shocked and unprepared when they both happened at the same time.

Secret Service



Has this ever happened before? I don't recall the Secret Service ever being unprepared to provide protection during an election.

So I have a question. It's known that every former president from a certain time period has secret service assigned to them for the rest of their lives. What happens when they want to go out and no one is available? Or better yet, if they have their own personal secret service assigned 24/7, couldn't they "borrow" them for the Trump rally?

Thanks rayb. Why is the SS in charge of protection of all heads of State at the UN or anywhere in the USA ? There are 193 sovereign State members. Plus their delegates/staff. Do we get paid for their protection ? What do those SS personnel do after a UN General Assembly ? Ensuring the protection of all the heads of State at the UN would take quite an army.

Oh, wait. The UN has an army.

THE ARE MEMBER NATIONS TROOPS

depends on the region and who volunteers when
there is no standing UN army
are you in fear of google again

''The UN has no standing army or police force of its own, and Member States are asked to contribute military and police personnel required for each operation. Peacekeepers wear their countries’ uniform and are identified as UN peacekeepers only by a UN blue helmet or beret and a badge. Civilian staff of peace operations are international civil servants, recruited and deployed by the UN Secretariat.

Information about UN Peacekeeping Missions, including the breakdown of the troop-contributing countries, is available through the UN Peacekeeping website.''

One of the many reasons that the USSS has gone to crap in recent years might be attributed to it being moved from the U.S. Department of the Treasury to being under the Department of Homeland Shenanigans Security.

For some perspective:
Trump has held 37 rallies this cycle so far. Harris and Biden have held a combined 13 rallies so far. Just like election cycles prior, Trump places a disproportionate strain on the Secret Services for campaign security.

Complaining he isn't be treated fairly when they only provide security for 3x as many rallies for his campaign doesn't seem to make sense.

No. They're free to hold whatever rallies they like. I'm saying their access to government-funded services during the campaign is not unlimited, and they already use more government handout security than any other campaign.

You think 37 is a lot of rallies?

137 rallies for the 2016 election

67 rallies in 2020 (severely reduced due to Covid)

Some how Trump did not have to cancel a rally before due to lack of security. I don't recall any presidential candidate having to cancel a rally due to lack of Secret Service protection before. How would have have played out if Bush's Secret Service made Obama cancel a rally in a swing state?

BTW, the UN still had their General Assembly meetings in 2016 and 2020 too. And in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012. They are on the 79th General Assembly and the first one was in 1946, so you can do the math.

Former presidents get SS and candidates get SS, so Trump, being both, is saving them from having to create two separate details.

What a bargain!

I don't think my comment is out of line with what you posted.
I do think that your response is approaching the absurd.

When, in our lifetimes, has the Secret Service not had the necessary resources to do whatever they were tasked with?

What are the reasons they are currently understaffed?

What are the reasons that their site assessment and security planning skills are coming up short?

Literally every single UN General Assembly. Please find another candidate that has ever, at any point in all of US history, gotten free security from the Secret Service for an outdoor rally at the same time as the UN General Assembly, or admit that you all are stretching the very limits of rationality in order to pretend you are being victimized in some way.

you mistake lie rejection with valid info
the rump sect spews lying without any filters
but very little real data

many in the rump cult can't tell any difference
so they repeat the lies as facts from the rump
and get upset when the truth is revealed
so they hate the ones who site facts they do not like

So you can't dispute the fact that Trump held even more rallies in two previous election, including during UNGA, without any of them being cancelled by the Secret Service.

No, I do not accept you trying to move the goal post. You can argue your strawman all you want. I won't indulging you.

Of course you can prove that. Do candidates have to ask permission to hold a rally ? Does the SS tell their protected assignment's that they need to ask for permission for protection ?

We know, you are not an America first person. The UN takes a back seat in my opinion. Let's put it in Moscow. I mean Russia Russia Russia.

Tell me again ... why is he not allowed to hold more rallies than any other candidate ? What is 'the Donald' SS tab, dollar wise, compared to Obama's ?

No, I do not accept you trying to move the goal post. You can argue your strawman all you want. I won't indulging you.

I'm not moving the goalpost, I can link to what I said earlier or you can you check up higher in the thread. What I've said has been the same: Donald Trump isn't being mistreated because he wasn't allowed to have a rally when no one else was allowed to have one either. He gets to have more rallies than any other candidate, and isn't being shorted on the ability to host them. Nobody is cheating by only letting him hold 3-10x more rallies than anyone else.

I think you misunderstand strawman if you think I've engaged in it here; it's when you mischaracterize someone else's argument. Otherwise, whose argument have I misrepresented? I'll acknowledge it immediately if you point it out.

Of course you can prove that. Do candidates have to ask permission to hold a rally ? Does the SS tell their protected assignment's that they need to ask for permission for protection ?

Yes to the first, no(?) the second. I'm pretty sure federal law tells Presidential candidates they must accept secret service protection, but I'm not positive.
I found rallies that both Trump and Hillary held during the 2016 cycle though, so you should have looked into that and caught what I missed on my first pass looking into it. I'm not sure it matters, though, because I also found the secret service has been chirping for some time that they are 'at a breaking point.' Given the multiple assassination attempts, and the fact that their shortages have nothing at all to do with money; they can't just put more people they don't have and can't find on the job, and they know they're risking an assassination.

This may surprise you, but I have absolutely nothing to do with where the Secret Service staffs. I also haven't given an opinion on whether or not I approve of the way they are used, or how that agency is handled in general. If you're interested in the latter, I think I agree...that "Moscow Russia Russia Russia" bit went over my head...but it's hard to justify staffing some of the events they are without addressing their shortages. I think rallies should probably be low on the "**** we need to protect" list too, though, and that forcing their protection on candidates is part of the issue with the agency.

But for the "America First" bit, you're correct. Populism always ends up too close to pandering and condescension for my taste. I'm generally a harder sell than "hey dummy, tired of those elites gettin' one over on ya?"

I didn't say that. I said when Trump hits the limitations of SS staffing it isn't because of some grand conspiracy to cheat him out of a single rally. Do you know why the SS is short staffed? Do you think this is a matter of not enough money?

You know that's strictly regulated and all has to be paid back by the campaign, right? It's not unlimited, and it's not free. That's not true for the Secret Service protection, btw, that's all free. But this isn't even a matter of money, and is not something they could simply fund better and hire more people.

Then show where anyone else but you said that Trump is entitled to unlimited public resources.

You moved the goal post by demanding proof of anyone else but Trump. You completely ignore the last two election cycles where Trump held rallies during UNGA disproving your assertion. "Give me any proof that does not disprove me."

I think you're mistaken...I asked if the assertion was that Trump was entitled to unlimited public resources that other candidates were not entitled to. I was asking to clarify what limitations they thought should exist.

For the second part, you are citing evidence I already provided and are missing half of it that supports your point. I'd suggest you go back and read this:
