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.
Trump is a psychopath. He feels no empathy for anybody and nothing is ever his fault.
This is pretty much every person who sat out the election and handed him the office. Again.
‘it can’t be my fault because I was given a choice between a genocidal maniac and a proven insurrectionist rapist!’
Only the negatives are not his fault. If it was a success he will take credit even if it was others are responsible and he did nothing or even impeded its success.
“Fault” implies that the result is negative.
Trump is probably a legit narcissist. The difference is the intention and the changing inner reality to fit his narratives.
He’s smart enough to message to his followers what he wants while evading the blame. Like a mafia boss.
