Trump needs Fauci more than he needs The Marriage of Navarro.
That is absolutely the opposite of reality. Navarro is a fantastic member of the team, well-spoken and sharp-witted. Fauci is a snake, and Trump has only been humoring him because he knows that if he doesn't overreact to the virus, every death everywhere will be endlessly paraded on TV and blamed on Trump. But finally, he had enough, and to prevent a total economic collapse, had to ensure that the economy got reopened. The time for coddling the fraud ended.
