How Will Trump's Security Be At Saturday's Georgia - Alabama Game?

Despite the failures from the Secret Service, and the on-going threats on his life, former president Donald Trump will be attending tomorrow night's big college football game between Georgia and Alabama, in Tuscaloosa.

As for what kind of security challenge it creates in light of the two assassination attempts against Trump?

"I think it's going to be a little bit more difficult" said Frank Roberson, CEO of Black Rhino, a Texas based protection group. "It's a stadium, and I've advanced and protected people in some of the bigger arena's, and you break it down to the simple areas where the president is going to be."

This is something the USSS has done before, and they should be able to handle it.

"I think you need to have extra counter-surveillance in the crowd" Roberson told KTRH, "You have to have a certain level that hasn't been there before on that side, because that's where you're going to catch those folks in the crowd, especially at an event like a football game."

Some have wondered that with all of the threats, why even bother going to the game? Why not just watch on tv? But that's what makes Trump - Trump.

"I'm sure former president Trump is worried about his family, he's worried about himself with what's going on" noted Roberson, "I'm sure they've had those conversations at the Secret Service, but the directive of the USSS is to get the assignment and protect their protectee."

In the meantime, Trump already has his gameday menu planned!
