Agree. He does not need a govt funded security detail anymore

Neither do Trump's adult children besides Barron. I hope they're not getting a single thing on the government dime.

I don’t believe any adult kids of presidents get secret service? I’m pretty sure that has always been expected to be privately paid.

I think they do while the parent is in office at least that is how I interpreted it.

https://www.secretservice.gov/about/faq/general#:~:text=Who%20is%20the%20Secret%20Service,families%20of%20the%20above%20individuals

This what the FAQ says about who they protect:

Who is the Secret Service authorized to protect?

By law, the Secret Service is authorized to protect:

*The president, the vice president, (or other individuals next in order of succession to the Office of the President), the president-elect and vice president-elect
*The immediate families of the above individuals
*Former presidents, their spouses, except when the spouse re-marries
*Children of former presidents until age 16
*Visiting heads of foreign states or governments and their spouses traveling with them, other distinguished foreign visitors to the United States, and official representatives of the United States performing special missions abroad
*Major presidential and vice presidential candidates, and their spouses within 120 days of a general presidential election
*Other individuals as designated per Executive Order of the President and
National Special Security Events, when designated as such by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security

Barron is over 16 and most of the other Trump kids are over 40. I don't mind Barron getting protection, but Tiffayi and her 3 middle-age siblings better not be getting SS protection like they did the last time around. Trump extended their protection for a period of 6 months after he left office.

Barron is entitled because his dad is in office now (second asterisk above).

Then he said publicly they were not needed. Later he said he said that because he wanted to make sure health care providers had access and supplies wouldn't run out.
Later he recommended double masking.
Then he was caught at a baseball game violating his own recommendations.

He pulled the mask down for a few minutes to drink water. He was outdoors. The people next to him were his wife and a close friend. So FO with that BS.

The photo shows he wasn’t drinking, he was looking at his phone.

That man cashed in and is worth many millions and can certainly manage his own security. It's surely not the norm for every muckety muck to get secret service details for decades after leaving government.

Is it normal for the president to realize more than 1,000 goons, who have already committed violence in his name? They were found guilty in a court of law. Now they are roaming around our streets (I would take an illegal alien over them anytime!)

Then, I guess Donald should have no security, post-Presidency. George certainly did not.

All presidents have secret service for life as do their spouses (1965 law).

This is how it starts, and Trump will feign ignorance when it happens.

Fauci has security. It’s just that taxpayers are no longer on the hook for it.

It is taxpayers who he is in danger from. Seems only right that taxpayers should pay for his security.

You could say that about anyone in government who has experienced a death threat. If there is one, you investigate and prosecute.

You don’t provide taxpayer provided security for every instance for all of time going forward.

Are you always this obtuse, or is it just on Fridays?

Personal insults indicate a lack of debate skills.

If he wants security he can pay for it privately. Just like he is.

It’s a difference of opinion.

It’s difficult to have an intelligent debate with someone who refuses to engage in objective reality.

Trump didn’t cut Fauci’s security detail to the taxpayers money.

Right? Why do they pretend this hasnothing to do with retribution or partisanship?

Either they are stupid or they think we are.

Congress is free to pass a law authorizing lifetime of paid security for Fauci. Good luck with that.

They might get such a significant amount of credible threats that warrants it.

If there's a credible threat, then it's warranted. I don't know who's threatening Pompeo or Bolton, haven't seen much about that on any online forums, but I've definitely seen a lot of unhinged RWNJ vitriol, hate and threats directed at Fauci online.

Iran.

Trying reading a newspaper sometime. (But hurry since they will soon all be censored by meta)

He should probably do a GoFund me. If he raises enough to cover his costs, the excess can go to gain of function research.

In normal times, you do. But Trump is not normal and prefers for his enemies, I e., public servants, to be fearful and in danger.

Nice.

This is normal times, you’re just having a hard time dealing with the fact that your choice of president didn’t win.

No. It isn't.

Because admitting that is admitting they’re in a cult and anything their leader does is ok with them.

Let me know when you have, you know, an actual argument for your views.

Why? Because you think Trump did this to save money or because you think it’s ok for Trump to openly target his enemies?

Oh give it a rest. Your guy sent a man who killed two cops from prison to his comfy house. Pardon power isn’t a new thing and the person who abused it most was Biden.

Did Biden put who he perceived as an enemy in danger by cutting off their security? Nope, because he isn’t a spiteful (fill in the blank) like the current occupant of the WH. But as other posters have pointed out, magas aren’t capable of having a sane rationale conversation. Do you also argue with everyone you work with?

Are you kidding me right now? Don’t you recall Trump’s request for more security after the first assassination attempt? Or how about when politicians were asking for greater security when protesters were outside the door of SCOTUS judges post Roe being overturned? Do you not remember the recent past??

Because Fauci wasn’t entitled to taxpayer security in the first place!
