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.

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.

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.

God forbid it happen, but if Fauci gets murdered by some MAGA nutjob, Trump needs to be prosecuted as an accessory to the murder.

I think this is horrifying and shameful. After a lifetime of fearless service, he deserves security detail and much more.

No, of course it's not normal. Only those who are receiving threats for doing their job receive protection.

Unless Trump doesn't like them.
