The video, posted to the Army's X account on Saturday, has sincedisappeared. It showed an M1A2 Abrams – a 70-ton battle tank – rolling onto a train car at Fort Cavazos in Texas. The death threat to Fauci and Gates – two people who have drawn the ire of PresidentDonald Trump's MAGA base – was painted on a train car marked DODX, property of the Defense Department.

"We are excited to celebrate 250 years of service to the nation next week." Dr. Anthony Fauci, who led the government's response to COVID during Trump's first term, andBill Gates, the billionaire Microsoft founder, are frequent targets of criticism from Republicans and Trump's supporters. Fauci has said he received a deluge ofdeath threats and harassmentsince he became a magnet for right-wing outrage as the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases during the Pandemic, making him the public face of many pandemic social distancing policies and the COVID vaccine. Republicanshave accused him of fundingthe Chinese government to create the virus and conservative firebrandRep. Marjorie Taylor Greene saidhe "belongs in prison." "I still think deep down that there's a possibility that somebody's going to kill me," Fauci told USA TODAY in a2024 interview. Former PresidentJoe Bidenissued a preemptive pardonfor Fauci before he left office, anticipating that Trump would seek revenge against the doctor. Days into his second term,Trump pulled federal fundingfor Fauci's security detail. Gates, aDemocratic Party donorwho contributedmillions to Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, also frequently pops up in some conspiracy theories. He hasfunded vaccination campaignsin poor countries, fuelingonline speculationthat his vaccines contain microchips to track people. The tank in the video wasone of 28 tanksand more than two dozen armored vehicles making the weeks-long, cross-country journey to appear in the Army's 250th anniversary parade in the nation's capital on June 14.
