The same as Bill Clinton.
The same as Jimmy Carter.
The same as Gerald Ford.
It will cost hundreds of millions for the Secret Service to protect these guys for the rest of their lives. (WHICH IS OKAY WITH ME.)
BUT, one president saved us taxpayers millions of dollars by refusing to be protected by the Secret Service.
How many knows the bravest of all modern presidents??????
Answer: Nixon.
