Trump is running a narcissistic vendetta

President Donald Trump has dropped Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party nominee in the 2024 election for president, quashing an 18-month extension ordered by President Joseph Biden after she left office.

Trump, however, ordered the Secret Service detail to end on September 1.

He made the decision Thursday to revoke that continued protection, and an executive memorandum was issued to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem directing her to rescind Harris’s Secret Service detail, the officials said.

The directive was then forwarded to the Secret Service, and the agency will comply with the order, the Homeland Security officials confirmed.

The U.S. Secret Service ran a threat assessment on Harris and did not find anything alarming, anything that would warrant extending her detail past the usual six months, according to sources familiar with the situation. 

“The Vice President is grateful to the United States Secret Service for their professionalism, dedication, and unwavering commitment to safety,” Kirsten Allen, a senior adviser to Harris, said in a statement to CBS News.

Trump is seeking retribution against people he doesn’t like.

In another recent instance, Trump has demanded that the U.S. Central Bank force Lisa D. Cook, to step down as a Governor of the Federal Reserve Board, after Trump officials alleged that Cook was involved in a case involving mortgage fraud. Cook has not been charged with a crime. Cook angrily told Trump she is not leaving and that he has no right to force her out of her job. She also sued Trump, her lawyer says.

Last Friday, the FBI raided former national security advisor and frequent Trump critic John Bolton’s home in Bethesda, Maryland. The FBI said the raid was part of a “national security investigation in search of classified records,” a source familiar with the matter confirmed to NBC News.

Trump’s administration has removed Secret Service protection for several others, including John Bolton, who was the president’s national security adviser during his first term, and Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden, the children of former President Joe Biden, were also denied further protective services.

Trump has fired anyone who opposes him.

The White House said Thursday that it has fired Robert Primus, a member of the Surface Transportation Board because he opposed the proposed merger of Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern railroad companies.

“Earlier this evening, I received an email from the White House purporting to terminate my position at the Surface Transportation Board,”Primus wrote in a post to LinkedIn on Wednesday. “This is deeply troubling and legally invalid.”

The California Highway Patrol will protect Harris following a meeting between Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.
