Trump sees Dr. Fauci as his enemy; This is what Trump does to his perceived enemies

Trump spent weekend calling friends about Dr. Fauci as White House allies began smear campaign: report

What may have set off the president was an appearance by the Fauci on CNN’s “State of the Union,” where, in a roundabout way,the doctor admitted that the White House dropped the ball on getting ahead of the COVID-19 pandemic that has already led to over 22,000 deaths in the U.S.

“Fauci’s comments did not go over well with certain officials working in the White House or on the president’s campaign, according to multiple aides, or with Trump supporters who are publicly protective of the president and his image,” the report states. “‘ Dr. Fauci needs to be more careful choosing his words on #Coronavirus, & if he’s going to be critical, make clear what he personally could’ve done better,’ Jason Miller, a former senior Trump adviser, posted to Twitter on Sunday.”

We need him to continue to have a public platform.

No offense to other states. If Fauci end up working for you, it's still all good.

I believe that Fauci is a good man. Good men have no place or no future in the Trump Administration.

If Trump moves against Fauci, it won't matter to Trump's faithful, they will all get on board. It won't matter to us, because it will only reinforce our negative opinions of Trump. The old boy may think that he has nothing to lose and everything to gain by getting Fauci out of his way of his message.

Dr. Fauci really tried to not directly answer the question and say things were more complicated than that.

that was complaining about Fauci. Trumps followers are extremely angry and want Fauci fired. They hate the man.
They use the worse language to describe him. Trump will not lose a single supporter if he dumps Fauci.

I put on my Roto Rooter protective gear and went scuba diving in that sewer. Here's a typical response in an anti-Fauci cheer leading thread:

"Fact #2: During Obama administration the NIH provided grant to the CHINESE LAB IN WUHAN to make the bat corona virus more potent."

'Nuff said. It's FR. Reading it is like reading a verbatim transcript from the locked PsychiatricWard at Bellevue Hospital.

They’re all into the QAnon/cabal theories.

Fuck them. We have to stay sane. We must outnumber them. We cannot argue with them or expect them to see reason. They are not capable of intelligent thought.

We must vote!!! And hope we can survive until November, of course.
