Popular Post webfact Posted November 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2020 Trump suggests he might try to fire Fauci post-election FILE PHOTO: Anthony Fauci, MD, Director, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, testifies during a U.S. Senate Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee Hearing to examine COVID-19, focusing on an update on the federal response at the U.S. Capitol Washington, D.C., U.S., September 23, 2020. Graeme Jennings/Pool via REUTERS/File Photo OPA-LOCKA, Fla. (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump suggested early on Monday that he might seek to fire a highly respected member of his coronavirus task force, Anthony Fauci, after Fauci further criticized Trump's handling of the virus. Fauci, the country's leading infectious-disease expert who is director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has taken issue with Trump's repeated assertions that the U.S. fight against the virus was "rounding the turn" when in fact tens of thousands of people are being infected daily. “We're in for a whole lot of hurt. It’s not a good situation," Fauci told The Washington Post on Friday. "All the stars are aligned in the wrong place as you go into the fall and winter season, with people congregating at home indoors. You could not possibly be positioned more poorly." When Trump defended his handling of the virus at a late-night campaign rally at Opa-Locka airport in the Miami area, a "Fire Fauci" chant broke out. In response to the chant, Trump said: "Don't tell anybody, but let me wait until a little bit after the election." Election Day is on Tuesday, with Trump trailing Democratic rival Joe Biden in opinion polls. Fauci is one of the most popular health experts in the United States, a fact that Trump has cited in the past to avoid getting into tangles with him.

Popular Post Lacessit Posted November 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2020 IMO it would be a relief for Fauci, no longer having to keep his mouth shut while Trump does his anti-science BS. 21 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post keith101 Posted November 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2020 Trump is such a little CRY BABY who cant handle the TRUTH and facts about himself so much so that he has to attack the people to make himself feel better just like a 5 year old spoilt brat. 26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone required proof that Trump supporters have very limited intelligence, I believe you have it right here. One man trying to protect the nation, with another living in cloud cuckoo land leading his minions towards their doom, and who do these people back? I pray this is the last day before the nation starts in the right direction. 14 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 4MyEgo Posted November 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) The thing I don't understand about all of these guys in their 70's is them wanting to be President. I mean retirement ages should be mandatory, 65, move over let fresh blood in, remembering with age comes dementia etc etc and everyone has a use by date, Fauci IMO at 79 should have been shelved years ago, so should have Biden and Trump regardless of all the cr-p they keep promising to deliver the American people.

Paul Henry Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Somebodies ego often makes them dumb to the facts of life. All over the world countries are in the process of lifting the retirement age for many reasons. Age is not representative of mental/cognitive decline or total physical collapse. Science now shows that 14 year olds are equal to 17 year old in the the 40/50s, seniors are in the reverse boat because of modern preventative medicine. With that said we do have exceptions ! Yes Donald is one. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Peterw42 Posted November 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2020 I understand Trump wanting to shut down scientists so he can keep lying to the population, I dont understand the absolute morons who actually take up the chant.Appears they want to shoot the messenger. They truly want Fauci gone because he proves fearless leader is wrong. Fauci's sole purpose in life is to know all about virus's, and advise the American people. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I somehow remember from history lessons in school that some dictators shot the messenger after receiving the bad news. I guess in case Trump will be reelected then he will consider this option. I am sure his supporters would applaud. Crazy America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I think there is so much truth in that. I posted somewhere else he reminds me of downfall. My 10c is that he's either building the myth that he "at least went down fighting", or he's determined to destroy as much as he can out of sheer contempt for a people who didn't elect him a second time. Downfall stuff. I can't see any other explanations - it's all too destructive and hate filled.

And it's one thing to predict that trump will win. According the fivethirtyeight.com he has a respectable 10% chance. But to predict that he will win by the largest margin since Reagan, betrays a kind of cluelessness about Trump's situation today that is truly astonishing. The odds are overwhelming that he won't win by Reagan's margins either in the raw vote or in the electoral college. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a career civil servant and got busted for admitting to growing pot. No physical evidence, just my own stupidity. I was put on what was called "The White Badge" crew where we went out, dug holes then filled them up. Our firings had to go through Congress. You should not speak of things you really don't know about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
