One of the biggest mistakes made was taking the big win of Trump winning in 2016 and thinking that would be enough to change things, same with brexit.
Big wins are great but without all the smaller wins of more of your own people in lower offices and legislation positions, a lot of that can get reverted as was why this money grabber was letting his position all this time.
Trump makes horrible decisions on who to hire, who to keep and the people that he surrounds himself with. That's why Trump needs to retire into an elder statesman role and go golfing.
Day one he should have pulled an Elon and had a mass "layoff" of all the federal agency and department heads. But he left them in place and handed them the knives they'd use to stab him.
Fauci the pharma elf will be the biggest albatross around Trump's neck in the primary.
If he hopes of winning the primary he needs to admit that Operation Warpspeed was a mistake and that lockdowns should have never been done and that he should have fired Fauci and that he won't repeat these mistakes ever again.
Covid is his biggest failure and it is the single reason why they were able to fortify the election against him.
Sure they can. Presidents routinely asked for people's resignations with the tacit understanding that the miscreant could leave with a bit of dignity or be unceremoniously booted.
I appreciate the sentiment but this was literally one of the most powerful people in government. Fauci had years to build up supporters and clout, removing him is not nearly as easy as you are thinking.
In the best case I imagine, it might not have been a nationwide thing if not for him. I don't remember if enough accurate mortality data was available to say 'no, this isn't that dangerous' at the time (when was it, April 2020?).
It was a worldwide thing, not a nationwide thing, coordinated by much more powerful forces than Anthony Fauci. He remains nothing but an empty suit for the elites who were truly responsible. If anything, in spite of his efforts, many US states put up more resistance than pretty much any other government on Earth did.
It's understandable to me that Trump, the notorious germophobe, would have taken the advice of somebody presented as a highly respected expert in the US government when faced with the uncertainty of a pandemic. Unfortunately elections aren't decided by people who understand things like that.
I think Trump was pro-"Being the guy who got down to brass tacks and made a solution happen." It's a very corporate-America kind of response. Cut the bullshit, cut the red tape, and get the wheels turning toward a fix for a problem. On its surface, getting industry partners working on a vaccine and removing bureaucratic obstacles seems like a sure win from a business perspective.
What Trump wasn't expecting and/or used to was the insanely high degree of corruption, cronyism and abuse of power that's rampant in government that doesn't really exist in the private sector. My inner cynic says that the deep state figured out how to exploit his entrepreneurial mentality against him and prey on that mentality as a weakness.

This is one of the first things that the next non-democrat president needs to do.
It's also why the dems and globalists are going to try to prevent it from ever happening.
Trump did try to clean house in the "drain the swamp" stuff, but quickly backpedaled on that.
In the primary debate this will be the biggest form of attack on Trump. That or not doing more during summer of love

Why exactly is fauci suddenly trumps problem?
He's the highest earning person in the government and has been for years. You can't just fire established politicians for no cause.
Sure they can. Presidents routinely asked for people's resignations with the tacit understanding that the miscreant could leave with a bit of dignity or be unceremoniously booted.

Fauci was a politician?
Well he hasn't been a doctor for decades.
Have you tried firing them out of a cannon towards the sun?
You really think none of the lockdowns would have happened if Fauci hadn't been there? As if he was the one behind it all?
Trump could have easily used executive power to stop them if he'd had any actual support within his own government, which he didn't.

And yet there is no acceptable justification for this continued thumping of the vax

His inability to admit to a mistake even now makes him at best unfit to be a leader and at worst complicit
