Trump calls Birx's COVID-19 warnings pathetic — but the real test is what she does next

Dr. Anthony Fauci is, by now, a household name. But the good doctor's mostly unalloyed advocacy of scientific and public health truths has come with clear political and personal costs. There are constant rumblings of Fauci's firing by President Donald Trump, who excoriates him regularly for committing "a lot of mistakes." In addition, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has drawn the ire and ridicule of lawmakers like Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, for opining on matters deemed to be beyond his preserve. Most bloodcurdling are the "serious threats" that have been made against him and his family.

President Dr. Trump regularly excoriates Herr Doktor Faucist? I’ve heard him speak nothing but praise for the human garden figurine.

I took a thrashing about the head and shoulders from a number of FReepers for talking about this.

Nevertheless, I stand by my statement.

Birx threw her boss under the bus.
That is a pathetic act.
So it makes her pathetic.

He praises Fauci yet at the same time adds Dr. Atlas to the task force, which is bound to drive him crazy. Trump is engaged in some very sophisticated gaslighting of Fauci.

Towards what end I haven’t quite figured out yet.

Read a few days ago Fauci is no longer a Christian but is a humanist.

Catholics who drop out to become humanists.
They are the very worst kind. Trust me on that.

“...I hope she retires on a small island with fauxi.. “

They both belong in GITMO as domestic enemy combatants for what they foisted upon the economy and the American People. Especially Fauxi, that little commie, PIAPS-loving SOB gave millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to that CCP bioweapons lab over there to assist in developing the crap to start with. Hanging the little traitor would be more in line with what he deserves.

Re: “Most bloodcurdling are the “serious threats” that have been made against Fauci and his family.”

The people who make threats against public figures must be the most skilled criminals in the USA.

At least once a month, I read or hear about someone who is being threatened.

But, I almost never read or hear about anyone who gets arrested and convicted.

He’s a gentleman thug, like the old-style Mafiosa. many of whom had a good working knowledge of classical music and enjoyed it with vintage spirits and fine cigars.

These were the guys who would kiss someone on both cheeks before ordering them killed or doing it themselves. And who would then make sure the families were taken care of.

Likewise, POTUS always praises both his adversaries (”nice guy, fine guy, beautiful guy”) and the relationship (”my friend; we get along great; I really like him”). Deals are always proceeding smoothly (”I really think, I know, he wants a deal, a beautiful deal and the best deal for his people and country”).

Meanwhile, if the guy across the table is f*<xing around, POTUS will do the same, only more so, and the more he praises someone, the more likely it is they are in his sights.

Treat him well. Honor your word. But, ya wanna play f*<x around, he will play f*<x around.

And he will win.

JMHO
