He can't fire him and can only remove him from the TF, but he'll shit-talk him until one of them goes away.

Everyone knows Dr. Fauci is the one to listen to so most will seek him out. He can hold his own press conferences if he's not on the TF. As Dir. of the institute, he does hold a community obligation given his expertise, which he would be doing more about if he were not tied to the WH.
