Another reason these TFRs should be done away with.
They do nothing to protect any "high level" politicians but they do endanger pilots and their passengers both during the intercept and on the ground when the poor sap lands and gets drug out of the plane and thrown on the ground by the goons like so many have.
A la John and Martha King.
The symbolism of TFRs is horrendous. The TFRs declare that the American people's business, no matter what it may be, is less important than an individual man's golf game. Talk about putting us in our place!
Erecting TFRs around himself is entirely inappropriate for a "public servant", and altogether more suggestive of an Emperor or Supreme Leader.
The practice is un-American. Then again, all too many things about Washington are, these days.
