Still, I guess being a member of the tRump crime family has it's drawbacks. He will NEVER know if he is being watched, recorded though, so he can not go about his business as usual. As dumb as Diaper Donny is, he probably thinks this gets him "off the hook" No secret service protection in prison, Donny!!

And he's got a history of chatting with Russian oligarchs and their agents. Junior is only trying to maintain control over his hollow life. Dismissing the SS allows him the illusion of privacy. By now, he may as well buy himself a jump suit and walk into a federal prison on his own.

What the Hell does the nasty conniving little woman my husband refers to as Jodyanne Jerk-Me-Off need with Secret Service protection? Who the Hell is SHE that she merits Secret Service protection?

As for Uday himself, I'd suspect he doesn't like being "accompanied" everywhere he goes. And then he can use it in speeches to make his dad's idiot followers think he's so wonderful and generous because he's saving them a few pennies in tax money.

Color me not impressed.

Would he actually continue to conduct criminal activity knowing that he is being watched like a hawk? And that denying protection is going to make him even more suspect?

Actually, he probably is that stupid now that I think of it. Either that, or he's planning to make a run for it knowing that the jig is up.

w the ss almost out of money, they realize that not enough of jr's detail is kicking back money to the hotels and golf courses.

I'm thinking Andorra may be sounding pretty good to Donnie Boy Jr. right now. (Wonder if the prosecutors warned him not to travel? Or if they've put him on a No-Fly list?)

Trump Sr. said he was going to keep his private security force.

Let them do it for Jr.

Let them guard the streets around Trump Tower so the city won't have to pay for it.

Not that the Secret Service would ever reveal such, but Jr. doesn't like the scrutiny.

The Trump family, all of them have had security following them for years?
They are so important, don't ya know?

Wonder if that includes his wife and children or just him? Something is up. Not the move of a man who has nothing to hide.
