Harry Truman (“General”)
As the history books reflect, Harry Truman was the first president to be awarded a code name by the secret service. He was already the 33rd president of the United States, marking a milestone moment where the tradition of assigning the best agents to the top-ranking political officials began. Although nobody can be sure why he was referred to as “General”, speculation suggests that it was related to his ambitions of being a general in an earlier phase of his career.

Bernie Sanders (“Intrepid”)
You may be surprised to find out that the secret service supports prominent political officials even if they’ve never made it all the way to the top job. Bernie Sanders has been through countless election cycles and always seems to get close to the line, but is never able to cross it. For his 2020 campaign, he declined their help, which might explain the reason they dubbed him “Intrepid”. Donald Trump kindly suggested that “Humble” would be a better fit during his campaign.
