    The Fauci hate from Trumpets is absolutely bizarre. Trump hired Fauci for his Corona virus task force. Trump could have fired him at any time.

      Yes, but Fauci dared to use his expertise to tell trump he was wrong, instead of just doing everything trump told him to do.

        That’s what’s hilarious and also scary about this whole thing. Trump, wanting to score easy points and get a quick win, read a sign about hospital cleaning procedures and stepped up to a podium and basically said “we’re looking into things with bleach and injecting light to cure the disease.”

        And Fauci, doing his job, was like “please be safe, socially distance, and wear masks while we work to get a safe and effective vaccine.”

        And people lost their fucking minds.

          That was such an uncomfortable situation. I don’t remember the lady’s name, Susan something? Anyways, whomever was in charge at the time, he was trying to get her to agree that his insane ramblings was what they were actively working on and she looked like she just wanted to melt into the chair. You could see on everyone’s face that trump was a petty schoolyard bully, who would punish anyone who dared speak of reality instead of living in his own ignorant castle of lies.
