By John Q. Hosedrinker House Democrat introduces bill aimed at Trump that would strip Secret Service protection from felons. The idea of stripping Secret Service protection from a felon like Donald Trump who has been inciting insurrections, threatening national security, and potentially selling classified information is a move that should have been made a long time ago. The fact that the legislature has to resort to such measures just to ensure that a corrupt criminal does not have the luxury of taxpayer-funded security services is a sad reflection of the current state of affairs.
It is absurd to think that someone like Trump, with a laundry list of criminal offenses, should still be entitled to Secret Service protection. The protection should be for the benefit of the nation, not to shield a felon from the consequences of his actions. The idea of protecting Trump, a man who has shown a complete disregard for the rule of law and democracy, at the expense of hardworking taxpayers is simply unacceptable.
If convicted, Trump should not only lose his Secret Service protection but also his pension, benefits, and any other perks that come with being a former president. It is time to hold individuals in positions of power accountable for their actions and ensure that they are not above the law. Trump should be treated like any other convicted felon and be subjected to the same rules and regulations as the rest of the population.
The argument that former presidents need Secret Service protection because they have access to classified information is valid, but in Trump’s case, those secrets may have already been sold off. The risk of him fleeing, leaking information, or being kidnapped by enemy countries is a real concern, and measures should be put in place to mitigate these risks. However, once he is convicted and imprisoned, he should be under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Prisons and not entitled to Secret Service protection.
It is refreshing to see House Democrats taking a stand against government wasteful spending and ensuring that individuals like Trump do not abuse the system for their own benefit. The bill aimed at stripping Secret Service protection from felons like Trump is a step in the right direction towards accountability and justice. Trump may have set the precedent, but the law should apply to all individuals regardless of their status or position.
In conclusion, it is time to put an end to the privilege and entitlement that comes with being a former president. Stripping Secret Service protection from felons like Trump is a necessary measure to ensure that individuals who threaten national security and democracy are held accountable for their actions. It is a move that should have been made long ago, and I fully support this bill aiming at ensuring that no one is above the law.
