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.”

    Or Canada…

    But what it reminds me of is Haiti, so many Haitians go study abroad and never come back (not permanently anyway)… The same thing will end up happening in the USA if things keep going the way they are, tons of people with higher education will leave and only those in agreement with the government will stay, making things even worse and the general population will be stuck…

    Pro tip if you don’t have special qualifications to help you get out, Australia has long lasting visas if you do work in the agricultural sector, if you add time as a tourist you can stay up to 2.5 years.

      Fauci would be an asset for Canada. Please! Immigrate! Get us doctors! Prepare us for whatever flu the US might be cooking up next!

        It’s another round of bird flu, a new strain, we’re cooking up. It’s why chicken and eggs are so expensive. Millions have been culled. If it makes the jump to humans we’re in for a hell of a ride. Currently 50% mortality rate although that would probably be different for humans.
