I don’t envy the Secret Service at all. Thousands of events and interactions that all have to be choreographed to protect politicians who by definition are not universally liked, in a country with more guns than people. Thankfully most people are not homicidal lunatics.

"You don't get 'a bad day' in the Secret Service. There's plenty of other pursuits out there. Noble pursuits - lawyers, plumbers, firemen, doctors. If one of those folks has a rough night the night before - stays out late - they have to deal with their boss, some kind of disciplinary action. If YOU 'have a bad day' and YOU don't do your job, you're going to change the world."

  Seems like hyperbole. I'm sure there are a lot of bad days where secret service are sleep deprived and nothing happens.

    And many good people die because of hungover doctors.

    That's how they talk in the USA. Everything is bigger there and if it isn't you better make it sound like it is.
