Officials have stated that former President Donald Trump did not have Secret Service protection surrounding the golf course today because he is not the sitting president. This decision was confirmed by the Palm Beach sheriff, who explained that the security measures were limited to areas deemed necessary by the Secret Service. Law enforcement reiterated that full security measures are reserved for the sitting president, leading to lighter security for Trump at the West Palm Beach golf course.
