    Summary:

    President Donald Trump has terminated the government-funded security detail for Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who played a pivotal role during the COVID-19 pandemic. This security was initially provided due to credible death threats against Fauci. Following the revocation, Fauci has arranged for private security at his own expense. Trump defended the decision, stating that former government officials cannot retain security details indefinitely and suggesting that individuals like Fauci, who have substantial earnings, can afford private security. This move aligns with similar actions taken by the administration, including ending security protections for former officials such as John Bolton and Mike Pompeo.

      So I guess he won’t complain if his security detail gets terminated when he’s out of office… Since he’s got substantial earnings and all that…

          He sadly seems to have plenty of energy and his electors don’t care about his dementia

      I expect all of these names are on his oft-teased enemies list and have been for a while now
