Trump owns the Fauci eff ups.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis criticized Donald Trump for claiming he doesn’t know who gave Dr. Anthony Fauci a presidential commendation that the former president awarded him.
“It literally says President Trump awards commendation. Is this the immaculate commendation or something like that? Did this just happen out of thin air?” DeSantis said in a radio interview with Jimmy Failla on “FOX Across America.”
...
In January 19, 2021, Trump awarded Fauci and 51 other people who served on the Operation Warp Speed task force during the Covid-19 pandemic presidential commendations.
“Give me a break, people need to take responsibility for their actions. They need to they need to own what they did."
...
“A commendation of this nature would require presidential sign-off. They go through staff secretary for approval and then the president would need to approve,” Alyssa Farah Griffin, who was Trump’s White House communications director ... said she can’t say if Trump actually paid attention to what he was approving, “but to claim he had nothing to do with it is patently absurd. It came from the Executive Office of the President.”
Stephanie Grisham, who served as Trump’s White House press secretary and communications director in 2019 and 2020 and then as first lady Melania Trump’s chief of staff into 2021, said in a message: “In my experience nothing like that would ever go out w/o his knowing. Esp(ecially) if an announcement was released.”
...
“Clearly, Dr. Fauci should have been fired. He caused a lot of damage. And not only was he not fired, Donald Trump gave Fauci a presidential commendation, on January 19, 2021, his last day in office,” DeSantis said at an event in Coralville, Iowa in August. “I think that that was a gut punch.”

DeathSantis isn't going to be the nominee. His muh ground game is fizzling in Iowa and he's hemorraghing donors.
Trump owns the Fauci eff ups.
And Trump? Did he forget what he did or is he lying about it or is he unable to admit what he did? What say you?
As SoConPubbie explained earlier, if it is by a different author, different publication, it is okay to post. Besides, the topic of Trump and Fauci bears repeating. Trump needs to come clean.
It’s irrelevant. DeathSantis is flailing and trying to score political points.
Fauci has been thoroughly discredited because Trump shoved him into the limelight and let him crap his pants.
Did Trump do this? Yeah, so? Trump’s a showman and bullcrapper.
Hey Fellow Freepers,
Just because an article covers the same subject, with different details or perspective, doesn’t mean it can’t be posted on FreeRepublic!
Learn the rules!

It is only a few posts below. Stop spamming the board.
Then what?

It's OK. We're allowed to post and repost some 4-5 times. Or more.
I really don’t care…. We were almost all bamboozled and there was the threat of millions dying.
Trump did enough great things and we were all better off then. No one else running (who even has a chance) will have the independence and fortitude to fix the DC disaster.
So, Trump, in your vulgar wording is a liar. Okay, thank you.
Different source.
We generally don’t consider it duplicate if more than 4 hours have gone by. Especially if there is activity on the thread.

There’s these little bugs really coming out in our neck of the woods this time of the year: We call them “no see ums.”
Meatball should have been Trump’s heir apparent, but instead of supporting Trump and Maga, and waiting 4 years, he turned on Trump and colluded with Bushies and Romney hangers on like Paul RYNO - and by doing so has completely destroyed his career in national politics. The only worse political self-destruction i can think of is the howard dean scream. It’s a shame. Meatball was the obvious VP pick, but he threw it all away by letting the Bush family whisper in his ear to take on trump.
So, it’s the same topic.
