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.

I just did. You all are just trying to rewrite history. Trump was championing the “alternative” views even while allowing the “experts” the space to work. All of the people yelling now sure were quiet when Trump was campaigning and going maskless in 2020. Every state was basically making campaigning illegal and Trump was having make shift rallies. He led people to NOT social distance. I also wish he said screw all the experts we ain’t doing anything but that is a real tough ask. Desanctimonius wouldn’t have done that either. No one would...maybe the girl in South Dakota but that is a very different state...and very much a conservative state. Even the ones who “moved early” did so in consultation with the “experts “ around them. If all their “experts” were saying if you go not you will kill millions of people do you think they would have ignored it like you’re demanding Trump did?
Nothing has been done about cheat-by-mail-in ballots with no signature verification.
Nothing has been done about no chain-of-custody for ballots that get trucked to a different location to be 'counted.'
Nothing has been done about the fact that certain states take over a week to get a result that has been machine-counted, and the justification for using machines was that hand counting would take too long.
All of the above were used to steal 2020 from Trump and subsequently 2022 from Lake. It will be no different in 2024 if Kari Lake's appeal goes nowhere.
Funny how many Zee Bots here hate Trump
Correlation
Uh yeah
Desanctimonius will never have my support and there are plenty who agree. If he were the nominee I’m fine with Biden....would be lucky if Kennedy knocked him off first because he’d be the pick over Desanctimonius anyways
Only Trump could turn Fauci into a hero among some “conservatives”. It’s hard to see how our movement isn’t a intellectual smoking ruin post Trump. When we stand for noting we will be nothing.
Trumpers have to swallow this one. Must suck to be a Trumper today and read this.
Trump did NOT shut the country down.
He left it to each state to set its own rules, whether to follow Fauci’s guidelines or not. The Left criticized him for refusing to make the shutdowns and the masks mandatory, which he probably would not have had the constitutional authority to do, and did not attempt.
But South Dakota, Florida, and other red states went their own ways, consistent with the 10th Amendment, and the bright red states did tyrannical shutdowns and also warehoused recovering patients in nursing homes, spreading the virus among those most vulnerable to it.
How soon we forget.
Why blast Trump or Pence? Weren’t we all taken by Fauci, Birx, the CDC, and the bureaucrats who receive millions and who are supposedly our experts when it comes to health matters? If you are President, would you reject the advice coming from people that everyone from the media to the man-in- the-street considered the best in the world on such matters?
By the time he recognized the traitors in his midst, it was too late to drain the swamp in any dramatic fashion.
Trump endorsed Ronna McRomney a couple months ago. Then used he operatives on the ground at the RNC meeting to campaign for her. Seems he still hasn’t much interest in “draining the swamp.’
It’s also untrue, per my last post.
Trump refused to play ball like his predecessors and the DS scorched the earth just short of a JFK event.
Trump gets things done. Operation Warp Speed is an example of Trump making things happen but it was an op and he was duped. They used his strength against him.
Desantis continues the DS op. Gotta wonder why.
You compare criticizing a boycott of a beer with slandering a man? It’s not just cowardly, it’s a lie.
You’re worried about “slandering” Fauci?
No, slandering Trump, which is what this amounts to. Trump did not shut down the nation, as Fauci wanted. That is an outright lie. Individual state governments shut down their respective states. Other states refused. See #68.
It is amazing to see all the revisionist history here and all this talk about Trump should have done this Trump should have done that, etc.
We know a hell of a lot more about 3 years after the world shifted because of it then we did then.
It would be very enlightening I’m sure , to go back and see what was said on Free Republic 3 years ago about covid ,and Trump’s response, compared to what people are saying now.
It’s very easy to say now that Fauci was wrong, but nobody thought that at the time. It’s very easy to say now that Trump showed the fire Felch and not had him as part of the team making policy but nobody thought that at the time.
I would love to see some Free Republic posts, -dated March of 2020, indicating that Fauci was wrong about everything and that he should have been fired then.
He was unaware of all the going on behind the scenes at the CDC like most us. Now many conservatives are retroactively attacking him for what both he and they did not realize until after he was out of office.
It’d be nice if he said, “oops I can’t believe I endorsed that person.”
Yes. He had some fraud in 2020. But dissing McCain two years after his death didn’t bring love to Arizona voters who time and time again voted for him as their senator. And just turning off some independent voters didn’t help. Everyone knows Trump is his worst enemy.
I can just imagine the headlines
If I was able to realize the first time I got a load of Fauci on camera that he is a b.s. artist, so could Fauci’s fellow New Yorker, Donald Trump. The problem was for Teump: Whom to put in his place? How to fire a man who had an iron grip on his position for more than 40 years and was networked internationallY? How many in the country were there who Trump could identify who had the expertise to take-over from shyster Fauci. Had he fired Fauci and put into someone else, how could Trump possibly at that point know he would not just be making things worse? This crisis hit like a meteor, The gal with the perpual lady-like neck scarfs came off a so very much a Smith College grad thoughtful, solid achiever (no, I don’t know where she went to school). Trump followed Fauci’s advice, but soon realized something was really seat if Fauci’s pants rotton about that advice. Then were was the ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine banning, despite there being no other treatment - all because Trump said they might help. Dr. Victor Zelenko will remain forever an unsung hero trying desperately that his phenominal treatment success was censored in all but a tiny number of news outlets.
