Because I sincerely don't want political candidates on any side shot.

And I've seen them near one of his buildings in NYC. People stop to take pictures if he leaves. The Secret Service tries to keep people moving, blocks the road, etc.

Because the way T-Rump whips up crowds with his rhetoric can have unfortunate consequences. Sure he draws a certain type. But, he can get others very angry as well.

including "el Chapo"... etc.

Also, all the Trump = Hitler rhetoric does have the potential to push the unstable over the edge. (just like Obama the "socialist dictator gun grabber" does on the other side)

I guess Trump does have the Secret Service. But I see too many times when he is moving and the crowd is all around him.

I don't like it. It looks too much like Colosio and Rabin.

I want political campaigns to be decided by voters, not assassins.
