Well, it looks like Kamala Harris just got a cold reminder that political power is a rental, not a lifetime subscription — especially when the lease is up and someone new is holding the keys to the front door. On Friday, a spokesperson for Harris confirmed that her Secret Service protection is being officially cut off, courtesy of President Donald J. Trump. No more armed entourage, no more black Suburbans, and no more Secret Service just-in-case coverage. The reason? Well, there wasn’t one, at least not officially. But let’s just say… the timing speaks volumes.
Now, let’s rewind a bit. Traditionally, former vice presidents get about six months of protection after leaving office. That’s the norm. Pretty straightforward. But Joe Biden, ever the innovator in selectively rewriting norms, signed a little executive memorandum before he shuffled out the door in 2025, granting Harris an extra twelve months of taxpayer-funded bodyguards. Why? Because rules are flexible when you’re looking out for your own team, apparently. But this week, Trump did what Trump does — walked in, saw a pointless executive memo hanging out, and ripped it up.
Kamala Harris had her Secret Service protection cancelled by President Trump on Thursday.
Good. Having her escorted to go shopping at fancy stores had been a waste of our tax dollars.
Joe Biden had secretly extended her SS for a year.

The protection officially ends September 1st, right before Harris hits the road for her big publicity push: a book tour for “107 Days.” (Yes, really. That’s the title.) She’s scheduled to appear in several major cities — the kinds of places where public safety is… well, let’s say “fluid.” New York City, Philadelphia, Los Angeles — all hotspots of unchecked crime and progressive policies that have made “defund the police” a reality in all the worst ways. Now, without Secret Service tailing her, she’ll be rolling into these cities like any other citizen, only with more press and fewer security guarantees.
Cue the outrage machine, right? You can already hear the talking heads revving up: “This is unprecedented!” “It’s a political hit job!” “Trump is endangering her life!” But hold on a second. We’re not talking about a former president here — who, by the way, gets lifelong protection under federal law. We’re talking about a former VP whose bonus year of protection was nothing more than a Biden-era parting gift. Trump didn’t cancel a right. He canceled a perk. There’s a difference — even if the media won’t admit it.
🔥Kamala Harris loses here SECRET SERVICE protection and MSNBC tries to tie this into Bolton & Retribution of course. When it REALITY she has it longer than ANY VP IN HISTORY.

Let’s also be honest here: if the roles were reversed, and Trump had handed Pence an extended detail and Biden came in and axed it, the media would call it “fiscal responsibility” and “a return to normalcy.” But because it’s Kamala Harris, it’s suddenly an act of political vengeance. Give me a break.
And let’s not forget, Harris is the same person who cheered on bail funds for rioters in 2020 and stood behind some of the most anti-law-enforcement rhetoric of the past decade. She spent four years as vice president nodding along to every defund-the-police narrative and offering nothing of substance when it came to actually making communities safer. Now, suddenly, she’s shocked when security gets pulled? The irony practically writes itself.
At the end of the day, this isn’t about safety. Kamala Harris is still a millionaire with more than enough money to hire private security if she wants to. This is about optics. This is about the left’s perpetual belief that government perks should extend indefinitely — especially when it benefits one of their own. But Trump, as usual, isn’t playing by their script. He’s simply following the rules they forgot existed.
So, no, she’s not being thrown to the wolves. She’s being told to do what millions of Americans do every single day: walk out the door without a taxpayer-funded security blanket. Welcome back to reality, Madam Former Vice President.
