The second presidency of Donald Trump has various determining characteristics, including corruption and abuse of power, but the one who is strengthened almost daily is minor revenge.
Whether it is about the raid on former ambassador John Bolton, who has been a frequent critic of Trump’s foreign policy, or research into the national security community and accusations against critics such as Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA), the second presidency of Trump feels a lot on a revenge tour.
Vice presidents usually receive 6 months from the protection of the secret service after leaving the office. As his term of office ended, Joe Biden extended the protection of Kamala Harris with an extra year.
Trump has canceled its protection by publishing One letter It states: “You are authorized to terminate any security-related procedures that were previously authorized by Executive Memorandum, further than the legal requirement, for the next person, with effect from 1 September 2025: former vice-president Kamala D. Harris.”
The United States is located in an unprecedented time of threats of political violence.
Fox News Earlier this week, an article published an article in which the terrible situation was explained: “Political violence is rising in America, and it affects laws on both sides of the aisle … In 2024 alone, the police of the American Capitol investigated more than 9,000 threats against legislators, more than an 18% increase in the year in the police.”
Whether it is about the political murder of the legislators of the state of Minnesota or the attack on the spouse of Nancy Pelosi, there has never been a more dangerous time for chosen officials and their families, what Trump’s decision to remove former VP Harris’s secret service protection, especially reckless.
At a time when legislators require more safety of all stripes, Trump takes away the safety of someone he regards as a political enemy.
Trump puts life in danger of a former vice -president and her family. Biden expanded the protection for Harris because she was made a target by the rhetoric of Trump and his allies.
Regardless of political convictions, it is nonsensical that former vice presidents will only get protection for 6 months after leaving office. The old standard may have been fine when threats of violence were not so common, but times and circumstances have changed.
The law must change with it.
Instead of doing more to protect chosen officials, Trump makes less to protect Harris, and if something unthinkable would happen, Donald Trump will be responsible.
