Those that think Trump sits in the Oval Office with “Tony”, all by themselves, discussing the situation has a very limited understanding of how CEOs make decisions. Fauci is a voice in the room. Along with about a dozen others.
Trump has access to information that is much broader and deeper and diverse than the average American considers.
If you don’t like Trump’s decisions...blame Trump. Not a member of the chorus line. Blaming Fauci for Trumps decisions makes no sense...in fact it makes Trump out to be a manipulated fool. I am pretty sure that’s not what you believe.
What I believe is that Birx, Fauci and Bozo the Modeler duped Trump at the outset with that bogus model showing 2+ million dead.
Can I blame Trump for that? Not really. I can look at it and call BS with no real repercussions. In his situation the repercussions of whatever he decides are YUGE. Me made his call based on the off chance that they were right.
What I blame him for now is letting doctors slow-roll the reopening AND for not disciplining Fauci for, in my view, pretty brazenly undermining him on multiple occasions.
