I wonder how many agents are assigned to Trump each day,
every day of the week.
Is it enough that when he makes a last minute decision to go to his other golf course on a Sunday. Or do more agents immediately have to be called in.
Golf courses are particularly hard places to cover according to the SS. And Trump is an avid golfer, seemingly almost daily when not on the campaign trail. Does his lifestyle warrant many, many more agents than say a more sedentary protectee.
If you were the head of the SS, just how many agents is enough in your estimation and how should those agents be assigned on a full or standby basis, on call at a moments notice.
Usually a president has much less freedom of movement than a non president protectee and a president's schedule is a matter of daily record and forewarned updating.

It's called democracy. You should thank them for caring enough to speak up, then patiently explain what they are not understanding. Dismissing their comments us uninformed is
indeed suggesting the people not challenge authority, because "they aren't qualified." Being a citizen makes me qualified.
My Oxford dictionary defines "democracy" as "a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives". Bystanders pretending to know more about a given topic than subject-matter experts in that field isn't "democracy"...it's just "arrogance"...
Since you know so much about what the USSS agents on site in Florida should have done the other day, why are you wasting your time debating on here? You should call or write the Secret Service, and offer to explain to them how to accomplish their mission better. I'm sure they would love to hear your advice...

He's a hard one to protect
So you never question your doctor? Just go along with whatever they say? Good luck with that.

Your explanation only applies if the state charges are somehow different than the federal charges. If charges are brought by both jurisdictions under substantially similar laws then the federal charges take precedence.
Also, you might get into legal issues if both jurisdictions attempt to try a defendant for the same crime. It's not called double-jeopardy, but I can't recall the term. I'm sure one of our local legal beagles can answer this better than I.
Because they can ..

Unfortunately for those who disagree with her, the law does agree. Every right granted to you by or from the US Constitution has two things that are attached to it at the hip: Restrictions and Responsibilities. No rights are absolute.
As the old saying goes: "Your right to swing your fist ends at my jaw!"
When Trump is in town he probably plays that course several times a week . They should know everything about that course and how to secure it . No excuse for what happened . SOMEBODY dropped the ball , or worse .

Don't forget that what the police did with that information was a boss "Big Brother" move - they set every one of literally thousands of license plate readers (both fixed and mobile) to alert when the vehicle was spotted. That's how they located and caught him.
The dual sovereignty doctrine says different.
State and federal governments are considered separate sovereigns and both can prosecute for the same crime.

Being a bodyguard in general and a SS agent specifically, I've read that it's not uncommon that the agent must follow his/her protectee into the restroom in public venues.
Can't be pleasant if an agent draws a protectee who is irregular.
Instead of a gun, the agent might have to carry air fresheners
and assorted toiletries to meet the client's needs.
Not sure that's any worse than the average LEO whose patrol
car is befouled by who know what while transporting a suspect.
Now back to the serious matter of assassins and what to do about them.

Part of the responsibility of keeping him safe lies with the protectee.
So Trump should have walked the perimeter and looked for possible " Hides " .
No, I think what they are saying is that he should surrender personal freedom for the rest of his life and do what his protectors tell him to do.

I have a former coworker/friend who is extremely upset over the recent 1.5 attempts on a former government employee; yet he is overjoyed with the numerous deaths and injuries caused by exploding pagers. When I pointed this out, he left in a huff.

That pony left the barn a VERY long time ago. LE is not giving up that capability any day soon.
