From Breitbart: Former National Security Adviser John Bolton was stripped of his Secret Service detail on the same day that President Donald Trump stripped him of his security clearance, according to several reports.
CNN reported that Bolton had confirmed that “within hours” of Trump taking office, the president terminated the Secret Service detail that had been assigned to Bolton.
Several sources also informed CBS News that the decision to terminate Bolton’s Secret Service detail had been made “in the past 24 hours.”

Trump was asked about the matter during a press conference at the White House Tuesday afternoon.
“I think that was enough time,” Trump said, adding, “We’re not going to have security on people for the rest of their lives. Whey should we?”
Trump added that Bolton was a warmonger, and said he was one of those responsible for the U.S. launching a war in the Middle East.

Bolton released a statement on social media, complaining about Trump’s decision.
I am disappointed but not surprised that President Trump has decided to terminate the protection previously provided by the United States Secret Service. Notwithstanding my criticisms of President Biden’s national-security policies, he nonetheless made the decision to extend that protection to me in 2021.
The Justice Department filed criminal charges against an Iranian Revolutionary Guard official in 2022 for attempting to hire a hit man to target me. That threat remains today, as also demonstrated by the recent arrest of someone trying to arrange for President Trump’s own assassination. The American people can judge for themselves which President made the right call.

Bolton is being torched on social media:
Independent journalist Greg Boulden wrote: “It’s ironic – when I interviewed John Paul Mac Isaac, I’m reminded that it is directly because of you and others that lied that his life was put in danger and ruined. To this very day he is trying to rebuild as the Obama and Biden courts have sabotaged his equal right to trial. If you had told the truth – perhaps lives wouldn’t have been ruined of good men and women who were just doing their best. Maybe hire your own security now from your book deal and ask those you colluded with to back you. Your government was betrayed by you.”

If you're a traitor to your country, our taxpayer dollars should not pay for your security detail.

If your safety was truly at risk, the last thing you’d do is advertise to the world that you’re now defenseless.
Unless you’re just really dumb, because a really dumb person would do that.

Sorry, what? We've been providing you with Secret Service protection, but not RFK? I'm pretty sure you can hire your own security detail.

Why on earth were we paying to protect you?
Pay for your own security like the rest of us civilians have to.
Thank you, President Trump!

Nobody cares buddy. You’re rich enough to hire your own security
