Believing that the Secret Service would continue to employ an over the hill, out of shape agent.let alone permit him to be on the President's protection detail.or
that the President's Chief Of Staff, would make sagging poll numbers a higher priority than the Commander In Chief's safety.
And this is AFTER the President's entire staff..including all the Secret Service bosses, have listened to a phone call, FROM the assassin himself, telling them all, IN DETAIL, of his plans to murder the President!
I actually had the chance to see the real secret service in action, when then Vice President George H.W. Bush came to Long Island, and Air Force 2 landed at MacArthur Airport, and he deplaned outside the armory where I worked at the time.
Needless to say, the actors in this movie didn't even come close to how the real guys operate.
Trust me when I tell youthese guys didn't muck about when it came to safety. If someone made too quick a move, to so much as blow their nose, 100 heads noticed immediately, and turned in that direction!
