Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former Trump pandemic advisor turned outspoken critic, has found himself in the spotlight again as President Donald Trump takes aim at him despite Fauci having received a preemptive pardon from former President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump remains unforgiving over Fauci\u2019s tell-all memoir, released last year, in which Fauci alleged that Trump frequently berated him with expletive-laden outbursts during the peak of the COVID-19 crisis in 2020. On Thursday, while speaking with reporters, Trump was asked about his decision to terminate U.S. Secret Service protection for Fauci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president quipped that Fauci, who reportedly earned $5 million from his memoir, now has the means to pay for his own security. \u201cWhen you work for government, at some point your security detail comes off. You can\u2019t have them forever, so I think it\u2019s very standard,\u201d Trump replied. continuing, he said it was \u201cvery fair\u201d to question whether Fauci still deserved Secret Service protection more than three years after leaving the White House under Biden. \u201cBut you work for government. We took some off other people, too. But you can\u2019t have security detail for the rest of your life because you work for the government,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked if he would feel responsible if \u201csomething were to happen\u201d to Fauci or former Trump national security adviser John Bolton, who also lost his Secret Service protection on Thursday, Trump replied, \u201cNo.\u201d He added: \u201cThey all made a lot of money. They can hire their own security, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the years after serving under Trump, Dr. Fauci was not afraid to speak his mind. In a chapter of his memoir, \u201cHe Loves Me, He Loves Me Not,\u201d the pandemic expert made a sarcastic remark about Trump\u2019s occasional public statements expressing \u201clove\u201d for him, only to later berate him privately. \u201cThe president was irate, saying that I could not keep doing this to him,\u201d Fauci wrote, the New York Times previously reported<\/a>. \u201cHe said he loved me, but the country was in trouble, and I was making it worse. He added that the stock market went up only 600 points in response to the positive Phase 1 vaccine news, and it should have gone up 1,000 points, and so I cost the country \u2018one trillion dollars.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have a pretty thick skin,\u201d Dr. Fauci added, \u201cbut getting yelled at by the president of the United States, no matter how much he tells you that he loves you, is not fun.\u201d Withdrawing Secret Service protection from certain political opponents comes soon after Trump chose Sean Curran, his long-time head of security, to lead the troubled agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
