Trump eventually called Fauci an idiot, but he still kept him on for the whole term.
This is the thing that people seem to gloss over in their dreams for another Trump presidency.
The guy did not have nearly enough wins to justify another term, because he needs to fix the last 4 years of shit, and everything prior.
I bet $ to donuts that the DC swamp has learnt how to deal and deflect President Trump, better than Trump has learnt to get things done in DC. All that will happen is lib meltdowns, corporate virtue signaling, and alphabet educationism.
Doesn't matter, even if true. If Trump runs as a 3rd party or doesn't support the GOP nominee, the GOP is screwed. He has to be the nominee for that reason.
All that means is that the 4 years after that we will get someone even worse than Biden. Heck, if they put someone not senile that can control their bowels, it would be enough to be worse.
I would not be the least bit surprised if they ran Hilary.
Birx admitted the whole covid response team threatened to quit if he fired any one of them.
TBF firing Fauci in the middle of a pandemic is probably a bit more complicated than it sounds. Dudes been in that position for a very long time, more than enough time to entrench his position and get many lackeys
Funnily enough, the solution to 'the pandemic' was to stop getting in the way and let nature take its course, so firing all of them would have been an option.
True, but it is also a gamble. We do have the benefit of hindsight, and these people were lying through their teeth every step of the way, on top of gating information from us, and presumably anyone that might be a threat to them as well.
In addition, leaving that big of a void by firing them can have some...unexpected issues. And you just know that all of Trumps political enemies would blame any and every failure (potential or otherwise) that may arise from such an action upon Trump himself and those that support him
Birx admitted the covid response team said that if he fired any one of them, they would all quit
Which in Trump's economy, could have been a valid threat. In the modern economy, I'd just say they're capping.
