Great example of Trump's terrible character. Removes security detail on a man purely on the basis of personal grievances.
Trump terminates John Bolton’s security detail within hours of taking office
- Thread starter Colonoscopy
- Start date
Yes, because that serves American's best interest. US based, Iranian Intelligence Operatives be like:
I like John Bolton. He’s not afraid to tell anyone his opinions.
This is what America voted for - petty high school grudge bullshit. Enjoy.
Don't agree with him on everything but he certainly does seem to say exactly what he thinks.
He probably is now. Trump just put a target on his back.
Trump/Musk - both are vindictive little bitches.
Why does Bolton need a taxpayer funded security detail?
Former officials tend to get this when needed.
Member of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Charged with Plot to Murder the Former National Security Advisor
An Iranian national and member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was charged by complaint, unsealed today in the District of Columbia, with use of interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire and with providing and attempting to provide material support to...
Why did Trump need taxpayer funded security detail, how far down this rabbit hole do we need to go.
Ummmm, Bolton has never been POUT or VPOTUS. The difference should be apparent.
Bolton has been a public war monger far after leaving his former high level government positions.
So former high ranking officials that are under threat of assassination by a foreign enemy -- in this case it was attempted in retaliation for the Trump admin's assassination of Qasem Soleimani in 2020 -- shouldn't be offered protection?
Odd take.
Finance won’t admit it, but he’s a maga dunce that worships orange turd.
Bolton is probably pretty representative of security officials in most Republican administrations for decades.
I believe I already said he was war mongering scum. They don't call the GOP the War Party for nothing.
Part of the broader point I was making there is that Bolton type people have fixtures in US politics for a long time. Why in particular people are just now freaking out about Bolton.... (well, it's because he criticized Trump)

So you are against former officials not receiving any protection -- even if still under threat -- when they leave the white house. (besides presidents, apparently)
Trump supporters thought he was great when hired but then turned on him when Trump did.
You're 100% spot on - there's been far too many Bolton types influencers in our politics.
Most of us, well ok, many of us, knew Trump2 was going to be a revenge tour.
This is just more proof and likely just the beginning.
This is just more proof and likely just the beginning.
Does Bolton still need a security detail? How long when someone is out of gov’t office do people generally get a security detail?
But of course this wasn’t done with any malice or ill intent or sending a message. Just someone who should no longer have a detail and we just announced it the world. It’s the most beautiful thing.
Where do we draw the line on tax-payer funding of such protection for former government officials?
I don't see the need to draw a hard line on this sort of thing given that it's not going to be often used and won't follow most people forever.
Depends on the level of threat he is under. Given that we have a president that is notoriously vindictive and thin skinned it's not hard to imagine that the move was in retaliation for Bolton speaking negatively of said president.
You could look and see if the security was pulled for other people like Bolton.
You guys need your nose rubbed in your shit like you're a little puppy. The rescission of Bolton's security detail is about revenge by Trump against Bolton. It doesn't have anything to do with ANYTHING ELSE. You know that, and that's what kind of a completely scummy and depraved human being Trump is. Deal with it for once.
This is your hero, this is what he does. Own it. You're all worshipping a Bond villain, a Putin.

Not sure why Bolton would have Secret Service protection in the first place.
I thought that was just for presidents/VPs and former presidents/VPs and their families.
