Fearsome! ROFL
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.”?
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.
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.
During an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt …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
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
One more self serving lie. DeSantis is immolating himself.
Fauci is a career civil servant, not a political appointee, and his protected by law from political retaliation. If the president wanted to fire Fauci, he would have to claim some kind of performance problem or misconduct – a tall order for a doctor has served six presidents and is highly regarded among public health experts.
Also, among Fauci’s fiercest defenders is his own boss: Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health. Fauci, who was highly regarded as a top HIV/AIDS researcher, was named head of NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in 1984 under President Ronald Reagan.
Even if an administrative law judge agreed that Fauci had acted inappropriately, Fauci could appeal that decision before the Merit Systems Protection Board, a federal body that Trump has let languish without enough appointees to establish a quorum and is sitting on a massive backlog of cases.

Short answer: No. Trump can’t fire Fauci. He could instruct the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Alex Azar, to do it, or attempt to force National Institutes of Health director Francis Collins—to whom Fauci has been a mentor—to carry out such a diktat.
But even then they’d need to come up with some cause, says Max Stier, the president and CEO of the Partnership for Public Service. “They can certainly harass him, but the whole point of our system is to provide civil servants protections for just these reasons.”
Even Trump’s recent executive order that seeks to create a new schedule for civil servants to make some easier to fire wouldn’t ease the administration’s burden if it wanted to can Fauci. The NIH would have to designate him as someone who could be on that schedule, which would take at least 90 days, and that’s assuming the order isn’t blocked.
But if the administration did succeed in the firing? In that case, Fauci would be able to appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board, which under Trump has no board members and a three-year case backlog.

You don’t fire him, you promote him and send him to Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska.
Let me guess...because like everything else Trump says ‘it was somebody else’s fault?”
So, Fauxi wasn’t a political appointee?
I view the fire or no fire Fauci as a BS diversion from the horrendous ramifications to humanity sustained by the death shots. No one wants to address this issue because they are all culpable. Lockdowns are one thing but worldwide murder and maiming are on a different scale altogether. Now we have a government implicated in the Maui Massacre and no one wants to talk about it. If you are inclined, go to the Prather Point with Jeff Prather and see his latest video interview with a techie who has plotted two or three Chinese satellites with DEWs that circled the earth and passed right over the top of Lahaina on August 8. What do we hear from our government on this - crickets? That’s because they are likely in on it.
Don’t care. Still voting Trump.
Stop it Al.ready. You are not going to persuade Trump supporters to back some globalist deepstate backed candidate. He flies this thing or your party crashes and burns. Even Donna Brazil gets iit.
First of all, he’s civil service, and you’re not allowed to fire him.
He’s right guess why there’s so many swamp members in D.C. they are lifers it’s a big problem.
aka the suck up bunch
And Fauci was an admitted liar. You just bring that up at every covid presser. After you give him the podium. Explain that he is a liar. Do this for a week and he will self evacuate.
I hate Trump now!!!!
