Trump ENDS Secret Service protection for Biden children after learning of 'ridiculous' cost to taxpayers
Daily Mail UK ^ | St Patrick's Day 2025 | Emily Goodin

President Donald Trump removed Hunter and Ashley Biden's Secret Service detail after learning of the 'ridiculous' cost to taxpayers, citing Hunter's recent trip to South Africa.

Joe Biden gave his children six months of Secret Service protection after he left office. It's not an unusual move by a president. Trump gave his children six months of protection after his first term.

But Trump blasted Biden's son for going to South Africa and taking his detail, citing the high cost to the U.S. taxpayer. Hunter's wife Melissa Cohen is originally from South Africa.

Hunter has 18 agents. Ashley has 13 in her detail.

The president's announcement came hours after a reporter asked Trump about Hunter's detail. The president said he had not been aware of it but would look into it.

'Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer.

'There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous! He is currently vacationing in, of all places, South Africa, where the Human Rights of people has been strenuously questioned,' Trump wrote on Truth Social.

WTH would Hunter want to go to Saint Nelson’s kill whitey shithole?

Maybe give some art lectures?

The Dems knew RFK Jr was being targeted and they deliberately refused him protection.

And someday we’ll find some un-shredded documentation on how the Butler mission to eliminate Trump was planned. All those agents sent to a lawn party for Jill Biden? And nobody went on the “slanted” roof of the place where the shooter was setting up?

Great point! The dem party are some of the lowest scum on earth. I hope America has woken up to that fact... midterms should tell the story of whether or not they have- if dems lose big time in mid terms, AND lose big next election for president, my faith will be restored in the electorate to make sensible choices will be restored somewhat.

Reporter to woman “why did you vote for,obama?”

Woman with a crap eating grin on her face said “so I can git me some of Dat obamamoney”

Reporter asked “and where will that money come from?”

Woman with same grin replies “it’s just free, dats all”

Yes, that was an actual response back when he got elected. My heart sank for the nation. So many folks thought the same way she did unfortunately.

Yep, I almost mentioned that in another thread on this same topic

Biden knew EXACTLY what he was trying there

Well, duh, the roof was slightly slanted. It’s physically impossible to put agents on a slightly slanted roof - when their mission was to ensure Trump got assassinated.

President Trump’s children were in danger from the left.

Hunter is in danger from owing his landlord, druggies and probably pimps.

Sell some more feces art, Hunter, and pay for your own muscle.

And, Ashley, the only threat to you is your father trying to wash your back. Deal.

It was sad. My heart just sank as I realized at that point that America had become the land of “Gimmedat” peeps. I m3an i kinda knew it already, but her responses just cemented the fact.

Another woman just wanted her “free Obamaphone” ugggh- they didn’t care that as a senator he was a failure and hardly ever showed up to do his job. The only thing that mattered wasthat “he was different and was promising lots of “free stuff” (ie a black man running for president- the left were determined to get their “first black president”, next they will try to get thei4 “first openly gay pr3sident” then a trans, then a woman- they won’t care what their records are)

They’ll have to live with the same crime risks (caused by Soros judges) that the rest of us have to live with. My guess is that they can afford to live in gated communities but the adults would do well to learn to shoot.

But if they can demonstrate a special danger related to their politics (maybe being threatened by a foreign dictator),Trump should offer them some protection. He would create much goodwill.
