President Trump made the smart decision to end Kamala Harris’ unnecessary Secret Service protection this week. The former vice president was only supposed to get six months of protection by law, but Joe Biden secretly extended it for a whole year before leaving office. Trump rightfully canceled that wasteful extension effective September 1st.
This decision saves American taxpayers millions of dollars that were being spent on someone who doesn’t deserve special treatment. Harris lost the election fair and square, and now she needs to live like a regular citizen. Why should hardworking families pay for her security when they can barely afford groceries?
Former Secret Service Agent Bill Gage explained that this move frees up valuable resources for protecting people who actually matter. Those agents can now focus on keeping President Trump and other important officials safe from real threats. It’s about putting America First and using our security resources wisely.
The timing couldn’t be more perfect since Harris is about to start promoting her book about her failed campaign. She wants to cash in on her 107 days of disaster while taxpayers foot the bill for her protection. That’s typical Democrat thinking – always looking for a handout.
Liberal mayors and governors are already crying about Trump’s decision, calling it revenge and retaliation. They’re the same people who defunded police in their own cities but want federal agents protecting their political allies. The hypocrisy is stunning but not surprising.
Harris spent months criticizing Trump’s immigration enforcement and calling his policies cruel. Now she expects those same federal resources to protect her while she makes money off her book tour. You can’t have it both ways in Trump’s America.
This is exactly the kind of common-sense leadership we voted for in November. President Trump is cutting wasteful spending and ending the special privileges that Washington insiders think they deserve. Every dollar saved on unnecessary protection can go toward securing our border or helping American families.
Democrats are panicking because they know their gravy train is over. No more secret deals, no more special favors, and no more wasting taxpayer money on political has-beens. This is what draining the swamp looks like, and it’s just getting started.
