Trump has his own protection against attacks aside from the traditional secret service. This group of private army-like guards is led by Keith Schiller. Schiller is said to be a slow acting, distracted guard. During a trip to Ohio, a man rushed Trump which caused the secret service to react. However, Schiller took much longer to react. The secret service says this is due to his attention to kicking out potential threats prematurely. Schiller is an avid Trump supporter which makes sense. Trump will only feel safe with people around that:
1) Believe in him.
2) Are paid by Trump.
This is security to Trump. He's setting a new precedent for protection of the president. This can't be maintained past Trumps presidency because the cost of this personal security is phenomenal. During the campaign, it ranked up more than 1 million dollars. That, with the 24 hour surveillance from the New York State department, costed upwards of 35 million.
