No, I don't think he did, although he does try to ditch it from time to time.Don't think Barry or any former president should be getting the annual funds they're currently raking in. Former presidents can make piles with book deals, speeches, etc., so let them fund whatever they're up to post president themselves.
Do think they deserve Secret Service protection in retirement, but I'd only fund a small one-year staff to help transition back into private life.
Given the fact that a President or ex President made a lot of enemies along the way and has all confidential and top secret information about this country, I do think we need to protect them with everything we got. If I remember correctly, Bill Clinton declined SS protection and I found that to be dangerous not only to himself, but the country as well.
