Would you rather we just post 'powder-puff' articles from bought-and-paid-for MSM outlets - apparently the 'ONLY ARBITERS OF TRUTH' that can be totally relied on for objective & unbiased comment on events of national or global significance, rather than comments from an independent social media platform that the 'GUARDIANS of TRUTH' want closed down because it exposes their malevolent Marxist manifesto?

I'd be interested to know how much and at what level the protective detail is that an ex-president and candidate running for president would ordinarily receive.

If thinking logically, Trump and Obama should receive more protection than other past presidents.

But it seems the secret service are not thinking logically because they refused him more protection. Then he got shot.

So what is your issue really? It's the current leadership that did this, Orange man had no hand in it. He's contesting the presidency, does he not qualify for protection of the government?

He qualifies because he is an ex president - not because he is running for office.

He should have been impeached though - and in jail.

Logically the current president and his family would always be the highest priority followed by ex-presidents and then qualifying candidates. In this case it seems multiple levels of failure across the board is what got Trump shot and he had a ton of law enforcement present.

You will not know unless the USSS explicitly tells you. There are no fixed numbers, the resources assigned are based on intel, risk, threat assessment etc. so the detail assigned will vary from one person to another. When Bush left office he had over 70 agents assigned to him due to the high threat level while ol' Jimmy Carter in rural Plains, Georgia probably doesn't have more than 4 agents around at a time (houses in SA look more secure than his).
