Has a previous president ever done this in the history of the United States since the inception of the Secret Service?
Trump had ended Secret Service protection for John Bolton in his first term after he fell out with him. In Bolton’s case, that’s quite significant, due to Iran.

The US is offering a $20m (£15m) reward for information leading to the arrest of an Iranian man accused of plotting to assassinate Donald Trump’s former National Security Advisor John Bolton.
Shahram Poursafi, a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), is accused of trying to hire criminals in the US to kill Mr Bolton, a vocal Iran critic, in exchange for $300,000.
Biden had reinstated Bolton’s Secret Service protection when Biden was in office. As soon as Trump got back in, he cut it off again.
I’m not sure there’s ever been an 12 month extension before (6 standard + 12 extension).
Every headline about actions he takes could be replaced with “Petty Little Bitch Makes Petty Little Bitch Move” and be no less accurate.
Yeah I was thinking “so much fucking drama each and every day with this piece of shit.”
Seriously I want to stay informed but there’s like, an emotional cost to keep up with US news. I almost feel like my IQ drops some days.
That’s the point. Overwhelm those who still care.
I know right? fLo0D tHE z0nE 🥴
Calling him a petty bitch doesn’t stop him from fucking up the United States forever.
Cool story bro.
Where are the Epstein files?
Trump flushed them down his golden toilet.
With any luck Trump won’t be needing it for much longer either.
Tbh I’m surprised he let it go to august.
Apparently VPs only get “up to” 6 months of Secret Service protection after they leave office, with the potential for extensions.
Still shitty though.
He probably didn’t realize she had a special extension until now.
That doesn’t really encourage the VP to do much while in office.
I mean just compare Kamala’s VPresidency to Vance’s.
Tbh I can’t name one thing she did do, but I do know she wasn’t in the news for constantly going on vacations around the world, fucking couches, and generally being a shitty person.
She didn’t kill a single Pope.
Or fuck a single couch.
You didn’t even say “thank you”.
They dont really have the authority to do anything right? Their one job is to be a backup president. It’s like saying an actor’s second didn’t have any lines in the play (because the actor was there to say them all)
Better believe they’ll make an extension for Mango Musilini after he refuses to leave office and gets ejected (as we all know will happen)
Previous presidents get secret service protection for life
