Fauci is the latest in a string of former Trump aides-turned-critics to see their federal protection canceled despite ongoing threats to their lives.
Speaking to reporters in North Carolina on Friday, Trump said he wouldn’t feel any responsibility if harm befell the former government officials. A person familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security issues, said that Fauci’s federal security detail was ended on Thursday and that he has since hired private security.
When asked about Fauci and former national security adviser John Bolton, Trump said, “They all made a lot of money. They can hire their own security, too.”
He was the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) from 1984 to 2022… and now he is described as “former Trump aide”. What a sad destruction of a legacy.
Those 4 years don’t erase the long service. I’m glad we had fauci during those 4 years instead of a Trump toadie.
Part of me wishes faucci hadn’t been there, his legacy wouldn’t have been tarnished and a lot more trumpies would have seen the results of following Trump: death. Not that I want them dead, but if that’s what they want, I wont stop them. Ow everyone will have to suffer
No matter what would have happened, he would have blamed someone else and his followers would have listened without any question. He can shoot someone on the 5th avenue and claims it’s because of immigrants, his base will repeat “immigrants, immigrants” like a mantra.
You wallow with pigs, you get covered in pigshit.
He stayed on to try to help. Can you imagine how much worse covid could have been if we had some Trump yes man in the post? This man helped save the world from AIDS. It took a huge protest to change his mind but still.
We may not have to imagine, with bird flu
Oh yeah. He should have just said “Trump? Ew.” and left the populace to his whims.
