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.
If I worked for Trump, I’d take heed: if he can betray former collaborators, he can betray future ones too.
He’s betrayed a lot of people who worked for him. Yet the bootlickers keep coming.
The thing about narcissists - especially ones who want political power - is that every single one believes they are special, different, and in control.
You could put them all in an auditorium and tell them, “Look to your left, look to your right, look in front of you, look behind you. All but one of you will be betrayed and thrown in jail by Trump,” and every single one would uncritically think they are the 1 in 5 that will not. They all think they can manipulate Trump and each other better than the others.

Short term thinkers don’t think like that. Power and money and all that, and then they figure they can beat the orange moron.
