Summary
Trump ended federal security protection for Dr. Anthony Fauci, who faced threats after criticizing Trump’s COVID-19 response.
Speaking to reporters in North Carolina on Friday, Trump said he wouldn’t feel any responsibility if harm befell the former government officials
The move follows similar revocations for former officials like Mike Pompeo, Brian Hook, and Bolton, who faced threats from Iran.
Fauci’s protection had been repeatedly renewed under Biden due to ongoing domestic threats.
Critics see this as another instance of Trump targeting former aides-turned-critics.
There has been far more organic interest in offing trump. Stoking his degenerates against Fauci may have terminal consequences for someone outside of his myopic scope, nahmean? There is a certain failure of imagination and incomplete risk assessment in his idiotic actions. As ever.
