The Republican president on social media objected to what he said were 18 agents assigned to Hunter Biden’s protective detail while in South Africa this week. He said Ashley Biden has 13 agents assigned to her detail and that she too “will be taken off the list.”
There was no immediate reaction from the former president’s office.
Former presidents and their spouses receive life-long Secret Service protection under federal law, but the protection afforded to their immediate families over the age of 16 ends when they leave office. But outgoing presidents can extend protection for those who might otherwise not be eligible for up to six months after they leave office, something Biden did for his children and Trump did for his family after leaving office in 2021. Former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush also extended protection for their families for a period.
How did I prove your point at all? I’m talking about the time range of protection ending. There’s like a three month difference. In the realm of terrible things Trump has done so far, this is barely noticeable.
Lmao 🤣 your initial comment said this was pretty normal. It’s literally never happened. As for your other argument, maybe look up some dates or something.
Hello? Are we even having a conversation or are you just ecstatic that you got a chance to be smug on the internet? What dates am I supposed to look up? The summary said they usually get six months of protection after the former president’s term ends. So they’ll be missing out on 4 months of protection that they would normally get. Please save your smug energy for the actual Trump supporters.
So, 2 months versus 6 months means nothing. It’s totally normal for Trump to vindictively take away 66% of their protection? And, I said look up some dates because you originally said 3 months. Keep it up, my smugness intensifies.
