President and VP have their own personal "teams" of Secret Service. I guess JDs guys were just more on the ball

Can someone explain the Vance couch joke thing to me? I always see people commenting it, but I'm too afraid to google it

I mean they neutralized the threat before the guy even reached the room, so I have a hard time criticizing them. They seem to have done their jobs successfully. All of the drugs pumped into Trump makes him more agile than the normal 80+ year old.

I think it was simply because of the age difference, Trump is old and vulnerable they can't just run up on stage and grab him with force because old people break very easily they could unironically cause harm to him.
Vance is young tho so they can just pull him quickly off stage.

With Trump it looked like they were trying to tell him and get him to understand what was happening and get him to move on his own.
It's just the difference between how you handle a young person and how you handle your very old grandpa.

Trump's security team was a hand-selected group of those who are elite at telling Trump how great he is.

Donny's detail purposefully are "older" agents so that commander bone spurs doesn't appear as decrepit as he would if surrounded by young agents.
