There is no excuse for Trump abdicating his presidency to Fauci.
None whatsoever.
You can debate civil service laws on firing, but Trump had full control over who was invited to meetings, put on air, and whose advice to follow.
We didn’t elect Fauci. Trump coronated him.

Trump was pushing the States to reopen, which you conveniently leave out.
Otherwise it would spoil your little game of pretending that he was doing the opposite.
Even the Trump haters at Politifact presented the dispute accurately, contra what you’re doing:
“Trump said he has “total” authority to reopen the states amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Trump and the White House have not explained what parts of the Constitution or laws he is referring to that he thinks give him “total” authority over governors.
“Governors have the power to set rules to protect their residents’ public health such as closing swimming pools and schools and requiring social distancing. Trump does not have the power to undo the governors’ orders.
“In this case, his exaggeration is so vast that it qualifies as ridiculous. By our definition, that means his statement rates Pants on Fire.
