This is what happens when you’re cleaning up the disaster left behind by Biden’s years of chaos. Under President Trump, security is being rebuilt brick by brick, but clearly, the rot runs deep from the last administration. Case in point: an armed NYPD detective somehow bluffed his way into the Ryder Cup, claiming to be on President Trump’s security detail. Tactical gear, gun, fake story, the whole nine yards.
According to The New York Post, 46-year-old NYPD Detective Melvin Eng showed up at the Ryder Cup in Farmingdale, New York, dressed like he just walked out of a Tom Clancy novel. He told people he was working for the feds, even claiming to be part of President Trump’s protection team. The kicker? He was on sick leave. That’s right, too “ill” to show up for his actual job but somehow had enough strength to play pretend at one of the most high-profile sporting events in the world.
NEW: NYPD detective on sick leave allegedly snuck into the Ryder Cup with a gun in full tactical gear, claiming he was Trump's security, according to the New York Post.

Now, maybe he would’ve gotten away with it—if he didn’t drop his gun magazine in the grass like a rookie. That boneheaded move caught the attention of actual security, who quickly realized something didn’t add up. Eng was removed and hit with administrative charges, including theft of services. Because, yes, lying about being part of the president’s security team while sneaking into a ticketed event for free is a big no-no.
“You’re out sick, what are you doing at the Ryder Cup?” one veteran officer told The Post. Good question. Better question: how did this guy make it past the perimeter in the first place?
This isn’t just about one rogue cop playing dress-up. It’s another black eye for a national security culture that’s still limping from the incompetence of the Biden administration. Just days before, a Secret Service agent reportedly fell asleep at the United Nations General Assembly and left an automatic rifle unattended. Not a squirt gun. An actual rifle.
President Trump’s team inherited a mess, and stories like this prove just how deep the cleanup needs to go. We’re talking about armed individuals, unauthorized access, and security protocols that apparently include crossed fingers and dumb luck.
Maybe it’s time for a little less woke training and a little more actual law enforcement. Just a thought.
