I don't know if he was fooled, or if he was in on it. But it's amazing you think him being fooled is a selling point for his leadership.
There were a lot of people who knew Fauci's track record and reliability. Anyone who was fooled by him, should be considered "special," right?
When did I say anything so daft? Leadership requires some degree of deliberation even in the face of a panicking population. Pres. Trump can be very proactive, but he also reacts when he should be more thoughtful. I did wonder if he ever checked Fauci’s connections. The idea that Trump, after knowing about Fauci, still gave the man a medal for some other reason is disturbing to me.
I do not believe Trump had any idea that mRNAs might be more than a form of vaccination for a virus.
