Give her the same level of security that Trump got.

No. She gets a better level of security because she is the sitting Vice President. She is in office.

Trump's level of security should be based on his status. He is both a former President and a current candidate. His security should be based on whichever gets the higher level of security.

He'd also get better quality protection if he wasn't a jerk to his security detail. Should that matter? No. Does it actually matter? Probably. Secret Service agents are people. If you are a jerk to your security detail, you may not get their best efforts. You'll get their professional efforts, but no more.

Why do I think that Trump might treat his security detail like a jerk? Because he treats everyone like a jerk. Particularly people who might need to tell him "no" from time to time. Telling the protectee "no" is one of the basic job duties of any protection detail.
