Honestly, at this point it feels like there's two options.

A. There are members of the Secret Service who understandably do not want to let a fascist install a dictatorship in the U.S. and are kinda phoning it in.

B. He's replaced all of his Secret Service with incompetent sycophants and this is what it looks like when they're really trying.

It takes a lot of work and dedication to become Secret Service, I don't think many of them are outright incompetent.

I think it's A mixed with C: they're overworked and tired. It's probably pretty fuckin stressful to be on guard for a president like this whether they agree with him or not

A seems unlikely. The secret service are cops and cops love fascism.
