Yeah, and it strikes me as a string of dumb decisions. Like obviously yeah, he was right to get himself and his kids off the mini-golf course. You really don't know with this kind of thing if it's coordinated, but after that... I think Vance should get Secret Service under 18 U.S.C. 3056(a)(7), so maybe I was wrong and he was escorted? But then it's weird as hell that he would've been standing at his door like a "sentry" when the Secret Service would probably want him as far away from entryways as possible. And I still think it's weird to go to his house instead of chilling at the police station for maybe an hour or so while they figure out what the fuck happened.

18 U.S.C. 3056(a)(7) https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/3056 "(7)Major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates and, within 120 days of the general Presidential election, the spouses of such candidates. As used in this paragraph, the term “major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates” means those individuals identified as such by the Secretary of Homeland Security after consultation with an advisory committee consisting of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the minority leader of the House of Representatives, the majority and minority leaders of the Senate, and one additional member selected by the other members of the committee. The Committee shall not be subject to chapter 10 of title 5."

Yeah he's either a moron and did what he said, or he lies with a story a moron would come up with. The actual story of "The secret service took me to a safehouse" sounds cooler. Or maybe they just forgot to protect him? Lol. I don't know which scenario is the funniest.

Oh no, when there are multiple options for a Trumper "stupid fucking lie" is always the right one.
