He and his brother never should have had SS protection. Only minor children are required to have SS protection. Though I think it is good, I question his motive and why didn't he say he is doing it because it is the right thing to do because the taxpayers should not have to pay for he and his brother to travel all over the world to do business.
Donald Trump Jr., the president's oldest son, is giving up his Secret Service protection, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The person, speaking under condition of anonymity, was not authorized to comment publicly.
The Secret Service said in a statement that "to ensure the safety and security of our protectees and their families we will not confirm who is currently receiving Secret Service protection."
The New York Times reported Monday night that Trump Jr. is declining the protection so he can have more "privacy."
Yet Trump Jr.’s decision to forgo protection could be a big cost-savings for the agency already strained by President Trump's frequent travels and large family.
As USA TODAY first reported in August, the Secret Service can no longer pay hundreds of agents it needs for an expanded protective mission under Trump, who has spent almost every weekend traveling to properties he owns on the East Coast.
