JD Vance sought last week to use a military helicopter to ferry himself and his son across Washington for a golf lesson, one of a number of allegedly unusual travel requests that has left the Republican’s security detail “fed up,” MS Now reports.
The alleged travel plans aboard Marine Two were ultimately canceled due to weather, but Secret Service agents nonetheless discussed it among themselves unhappily, according to the outlet.
Past vice presidents have had Secret Service agents drive their children to activities, rather than use military hardware, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars per hour to operate.
Carter wasn’t that bad (though we was a centrist while in office, and only later adopted some based political views). There was biased media back then, too, and the thing that made him look worst was the Iran hostage crisis, which Reagan colluded with the mullahs to prolong for just that purpose.
He was objectively a shitty president, but yes, Reagan’s meddling didn’t help things.
