I suspect Trump could have fired him, at the minimum reassigned him, and definitely not have him be the public face of his Covid response in the White House. That’s on Trump and his excuses after-the-fact are lame, just like his constant whining of bad hires and appointments. When, even once, has Trump simply said, “I made a bad decision, that’s on me, I’m sorry.”?

But also, he wasn’t a big player in my administration," President Trump said. "Dr. Fauci became a big player in the administration of Biden

This won't fly. Fauci became a national figure under Trump. He was present at every major speech Trump made on the pandemic. One of Trump's last acts as POTUS was to award Fauci with a Presidential Commendation.

Even more on Mike Pence.

The “silver knight” was the one who lowered “two weeks to stop the spread” and hoisted “thirty days to flatten the curve” on 03/31/2020.

The ULTIMATE “bait and switch”.

Don’t know about you, but at that moment I KNEW that we were being played like a string octet.

In 2020 TRUMP WAS IN A NO-WIN SITUATION. IF he fired Fauci or ignored the recommendations of the Pence/Fauci group, every single night and every minute of the day the mainstream media would be posting supposed COVID deaths and claim they were TRUMP’S DEATHS.

Ah, that’s not fair! Quoting Trump directly. Figure you have a couple short minutes before someone joins the thread to insult you and claim this is all fake news.

Ronny was busy closing down the Fla beaches about that time. 😆

Yes, but Trump won’t admit to what he did. History is relative to him. Lies.

And does he deny it? No, what he did was be among the first to reverse all of this, despite Trump and company insisting he not.

Anything you say, Donald.

Trump awarded Fauci a Presidential Commendation on 1/19/21.

DeSantis supporters grasping at straws, hoping stuff like this can energize a floundering campaign.

It won’t.

You still don't get Trump, do you?

Trump punishes his enemies by giving them the spotlight.

Now everyone sees what a fraud he is.

You know if Trump would have fired him he would have been impeached for the 3rd time.

Definitely not friendly towards his guest.

The issue I have is that any constructive criticism was dismissed as “YOU’RE NOT TRUSTING THE PLAN” or Godfather movie quotes on how he’s “keeping friends close and enemies closer”

Look we can’t say we want to get rid of RINOs and then actively discouraging people calling out RINO behavior, wherever they see it. To be clear I’m not calling Trump a RINO, but this was RINO-lite behavior for this instance. We need constructive criticism to keep people accountable

I will give a lot of people a pass at the start of the COVID biological war.

The President asked Pence to lead this up. The media hyped it like crazy. Fauci, who was in that position for many years and was supposed to be non-partisan and a subject matter expect, was a lying hobgoblin and evil personified (as we would all find out eventually).

He lied to Congress. He lied to the Trump Administration. He lied to We, The People.

And for a while, almost everyone believed his lies. He was sainted in the media, adored by the glitterati, and worked to shut down anyone who claimed the Emporer had no clothes.

Stop the circular firing squad, people, please!

Fauci and his co-conspirators unleashed a weapon on the world. Save your anger and angst for the people who caused this mess, not those on our side who were battling it and trying to clean it up.

Trump early on mentioned Ivermectin may help against Covid and mentioned other things. Well boys and girls, I’m and old dog with horses it worked. Hang Fauci, I’ll bring the rope. Listen for a train whistle, Trump is getting railroaded. IMO

>> Well boys and girls, I’m an old dog with horses [Ivermectin] worked.

Ivermectin (right out of the horse syringe!) worked for this household, too. We still take it prophylactically as required. GOD Bless President Trump!
