In a bold move that highlights the questionable need for extravagant security details, Donald Trump has announced the termination of Secret Service protection for Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, and his sister Ashley. While Hunter enjoys a luxurious vacation in South Africa—yes, the very country where human rights are often in hot debate—Trump pointed out the absurdity of American taxpayers footing the bill for what amounts to a holiday from reality for the Bidens.
According to Trump’s musings on Truth Social, Hunter enjoyed a staggering security detail comprised of up to 18 agents, while Ashley was not far behind with 13 agents guarding her every move. One must wonder, what kind of trouble is Hunter Biden getting into that demands such lavish security? Perhaps it involves dining in upscale restaurants and rubbing elbows with celebrities—both activities certainly don’t scream “dangerous,” unless one considers being in the vicinity of Ellen DeGeneres hazardous.

Trump’s comment reveals a much-needed financial perspective; it is outrageous for taxpayers to fund such a luxurious lifestyle under the guise of security. As the Bidens gallivant in South Africa, where the country’s human rights record frequently raises eyebrows, Americans back home might appreciate a more sensible allocation of resources—like addressing inflation or improving border security—rather than splurging on the Biden kids’ escapades.
The Secret Service was founded in 1865 ostensibly to protect the President and other key figures, including their immediate families. It is stunning to see how these protections can seem more like privileges for the elite rather than necessary security measures. The ongoing saga of Hunter Biden paints a picture of privilege extended to a family that seems to operate above the norms of the rest of America. The question arises: are these protections a matter of national security, or simply a lavish safety net woven for the politically connected?
Conservative activist Laura Loomer has been keeping an eye on the younger Biden and making waves by documenting his comfortable life abroad. Her reports of Hunter dining with liberal icons hint at a disconnect between the everyday American struggle and the privileged life the Biden family continues to embrace. It appears while everyday Americans are counting their pennies, the Bidens are enjoying candlelight dinners far removed from the concerns of the average citizen, all while taxpayers are left wondering when this saga will finally come to an end.
