Dude slips Secret Service, gets a selfie in Trumps Mar-a-Lago study





A guest at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort says he gave Secret Service the slip and snapped a selfie in the President’s private study.

“Snuck by secret service to catch this selfie. They might have told us not to go in there,” Joseph Young posted along with a photo of him alone in the poshly appointed room with a painting of a youthful Trump behind him.

Young eventually deleted the post, but not before it was widely shared on social media, eliciting criticism for the President’s personal guard.

“If a goober like this can sneak in, I think it’s safe to say Russia & China have full audio/video access 24/7,” tweeted @BrianBruce7 in response to the post.

“The freaky part, “snuck by secret service” …. fined tuned machine?” @gowans_k tweeted.

1. I never thought it was possible a person could 'slip' past the SS

It's like they have turned into a bad private security company.

5. Did you miss the people who got onto White House grounds the last few years?

Including one who made it inside the White House itself?

You know?
Also, i was just talking to a verysmart young man who said Trump's secret guard is still with him. Maybe they are making it tough for the Secret Svce?

15. I think it's one of the portraits he purchased with funds from his "charity" foundation

He's bought at least two portraits of himself with funds meant for charity.

Where not only are we stupid enough to try and sneak around the secret service for the fun of it, but then we brag about it on the Internet for everyone to see.

17. This ass and his fellow club members have the world's most fantastic sense of entitlement

And why wouldn't they? In a sane world, they would never have dinner in the same room as the Japanese PM, nor be allowed to witness the scurrying associated with an international crisis, much less snap photos of those events.

They're special, by God.

13. I'm thinking all these security stories will be an excuse

For drumf to totally dump the SS and only use his own security...but he will find a way to make a profit off of the switch. Like expect us all to pay for whatever private goons he "hires". Probably one of his cronie$ owns a security company or the money will be funneled back to a Trump company. Or he is looking to upgrade his golf resort at our expense. He's got the taxpayer credit card and he's gonna run up the bill before he gets kicked out of office....

16. I'm wondering if anybody that is around him cares.

If you had to put up with that orange anus every day and night would you REALLY give a shit? Not to disparage the Secret Service folks--I do think they are dedicated patriots--but how would you feel about having to protect his skanky orange ass? It sure isn't a job I'd want.

"Yeah, dude. Second Door on the right. Turn off the lights when you get done..."
