Secret Service at the end of their rope after being treated like servants by Trump
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/secret-service-at-the-end-of-their-rope-after-being-treated-like-servants-by-trump-report/
President Donald Trumps lavish travel habits are putting a major financial strain on the Secret Service and Center for Public Integrity reporter Christina Wilkie says that the president himself is a major source of stress as well.
On Twitter Monday morning, Wilkie wrote that multiple sources have told her that Secret Service agents are at the end of their rope, sick of being treated like servants by Trump.
One of Wilkies sources compared Trumps treatment of Secret Service agents with the treatment given them by past presidents and the comparison did not reflect well on the current president.
Clinton treated USSS agents like friends, the source told her. Bush treated them with great respect. Obama, like family. Trump treats them like servants.
Specifically, Wilkies sources tell her that Trump expects agents to regularly fetch things for him and be available to serve him at all times, regardless of when their shifts start or finish.
