Fauci: Trump is a hopeful layperson sharing anecdotal reports, trying to bring hope to the people

1. Trump is a delusional narcissist sharing any report that he believes makes him look good.

2. If you work in the Trump administration there are things you have to say

in order to keep your job. Fauci has figured out that if he presents Trump as meaning well, he can get away with the subtext that he's completely ignorant by calling him a "layperson." Nice job walking that tightrope, Doc.

3. Good thing he's a little guy cause he's dancing on a pin.

4. I don't blame Fauci, if he complains too much, he has no more influence on the decisions.

He is following his hippocratic oath.

5. Fauci is too intelligent to be kissing tRumps ass.

6. Trump is the last person on the globe that is capable of bringing hope.

I can just see his brain saying, "I am looking SO presidential." It is all a performance to him. I wish he'd just go away. Forever.

7. Comcast is still pumping

the Trump Propaganda. Sure must be hard to quit the Trump bullshit parade.

8. fauci can talk over trump*s head and get the message out to us that trump*s an idiot..

...and yet trump* will somehow thinks hes been complemented.

9. JFC! Dumpy blew it on the easiest softball question a few days ago

when he had the chance to abate fear and show some compassion.

What utter balls!

11. I think he realizes he HAS to keep his job.

Otherwise, he's fired and fuckhead brings in one of his grand kids to give medical advice.

12. Excuse me -

I don't want a layman as President. I got plenty of relatives who can do the job of keeping me conversationally informed, as most of us do. They do it for free. We don't need to pay someone.

13. If Fauci has to be careful about what he says about Trump, so be it . . .

. . . because if Trump fires him, you know his replacement will be another Trump stooge. Fauci, while not directly criticizing Trump, has nevertheless been unafraid to counter Trump's fact-free statements with fact-based ones.
