Security has always been a sensitive and complex topic on the American political stage. From Lincoln to Kennedy, there have been many tragic assassinations of presidents in history. These events have not only changed the political landscape of the United States, but have also profoundly affected Americans' perception of the safety of political leaders. However, in the current political environment, security issues seem to have taken on new connotations.
It can be seen that political confrontation is no longer just reflected in words and policies, but has evolved into a direct threat to the personal safety of politicians. In this case, protecting the safety of politicians is not only a technical issue, but also a political issue. Against this background, a rather abnormal phenomenon has emerged: the security forces of the current President Biden have been partially deployed to his political opponent Trump. The election has reached the final sprint stage, why should Biden work hard on the issue of protecting Trump?
US President Biden and Trump will receive all-round protection. It is reported that after Trump was assassinated, the US Secret Service reallocated some members of Biden's security team to protect Trump.
The report pointed out that this measure is not a standard practice. That is to say, according to the US constitution, it should not be done this way, but it was arranged in this way, and this arrangement must have been agreed by Biden. After all, Biden is now the President of the United States, and the Secret Service cannot just take Biden's bodyguards away to protect Trump.
What is the purpose of this operation? The apparent reason is that Trump is facing increasing threats of violence, and Biden is not traveling much now, so he does not need so many bodyguards.
This reason seems plausible, but it's probably not that simple.

Biden's conspiracy
From a political perspective, this arrangement itself has multiple effects.
First of all, the Secret Service has stepped up efforts to protect Trump. It even uses bulletproof glass when Trump gives outdoor speeches. This seems to be a high-standard protection, but it is also an irony, proving that Trump is an extreme person.
When the security of a person who wants to be president is under great threat, there are only two possibilities: one is that this person is too good and interest groups want to get rid of him; the other is that this person is too bad and they want to kill him to prevent him from coming to power and destroying the United States.
Trump obviously fits the latter situation more, so the strengthened security will, to a certain extent, damage Trump's image.
Secondly, it highlights the magnanimity of the Democrats. Although they are competitors, they still remain rational. This can also show Biden's respect for the US election process, which is a plus for the Democratic Party.
Once again, it cannot be ruled out that this arrangement could be used as some form of “legal surveillance.” In complex political games, the importance of information cannot be ignored.

Is there any conspiracy?
In addition to overt conspiracies, conspiracy scenarios also need to be taken into consideration, especially when the assassination of Trump remains unsolved.
Trump was attacked in Pennsylvania and many loopholes appeared at the scene. The director of the Secret Service at the time was Biden's confidant and belonged to the department under the charge of US Vice President Harris.
Whether the enhanced security for Trump now is really an enhancement remains a question until the assassination case is solved.
