As the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the US reached 3m, and another daily record fell with more than 60,000 new cases, Donald Trump insisted the US was “in a good place” and admitted he “didn’t listen to my experts”.

More than 130,000 Americans have now died from Covid-19, the highest death toll in the world.

Speaking to former Fox News host Greta Van Susteren for a Gray TV interview to be broadcast on Sunday, Trump said: “I disagree with him. You know, Dr Fauci said ‘don’t wear masks’ and now he says ‘wear them’. And you know, he’s said numerous things: ‘Don’t close off China. Don’t ban China.’

“And I did it anyway. I sort of didn’t listen to my experts and I banned China.”

So is this 3 million cases from the beginning of the counting or 3 million cases that currently have it?

If 3 million currently have it out of a population of 305 million that is just shy of 1 percent of the known total population. If there are 130,000 deaths than that is 0.042 percent of the known population. That is four-tenths of a percent out of 305 million people that have died from this and yet we are still in lockdown mode. Someone needs to be roasted over a fire then made to walk the plank. Steak does sound good right about now. Which restaurant is open?

For the millionth time Trump cannot fire Fauci. Trump can only fire Dr. Fauci from the Pandemic team which he has essentially already been fired from. He’s a Federal employee and doesn’t answer to Trump for his regular government job. Like Vindman, you can’t fire him, you can only move him. And what good will that do? Only give Biden another talking point. Think this through.

I’ll also add, Fauci was not at today’s task force briefing.
