But I think both Dr. Birx and Dr. Fauci think Trump is stark raving mad and that they see their role as trying to protect the American people. If they walked out, who would Trump replace them with? Dr. Oz? Dr. (not a medical doctor) Phil?

It is a terrible place to be. And we don't know what goes on behind the scene.
