The Democrat-mainstream media gang-up cabal need President Donald Trump to fire disease expert-cum-publicity hound Dr. Anthony Fauci.
It seems that the good doctor not only wants to be fired, but is out there on CNN trying to get fired.
The trap being planned by the cabal is not so difficult to fathom: The immunologist needs the president to fire him so that he can add to the image of ‘Trump the Tyrant’.“Trump used statements Dr. Anthony Fauci made in February as evidence that a recent New York Times report that said he was slow to act on the coronavirus outbreak was "fake news." “Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was asked about the report on CNN and admitted that earlier action could have saved more lives. The Times' report said Trump played down the seriousness of the virus throughout January. “DeAnna Lorraine, a former Republican congressional candidate, called out Fauci in her own tweet and said he told people in late February that "there was nothing to worry about and it posed no threat to the US public at large. Time to #FireFauci.”
“Trump seized on Lorraine’s tweet as evidence of “fake news,” from the Times. “Trump implied that if there were widespread concerns about the virus in the White House in January, surely Fauci would have known in late February. "Sorry Fake News, it's all on tape. I banned China long before people spoke up," Trump tweeted, before thanking One News Network. Trump's tweet linked to Lorraine's tweet that called for Fauci's ouster. “Fauci was on NBC News’ “Today” on Feb. 29, the date Lorraine mentioned, and talked about the “community spread” of the coronavirus. The virus, at that time, was known to be in Italy and China. Fauci was asked if Americans should change their way of life and he said, “there is no need to change what you are doing on a day-by-day basis.” But he said that could change. “The New York Times reported this weekend that Trump played down the seriousness of the virus in January, even though experts in both his cabinet and intelligence agencies “sounded the alarm.” "Trump called the Times’ story “Fake, just like the “paper” itself.”

“Trump has said that his decision to “close” the U.S. to China in early February was prescient, despite being panned in the media as “xenophobic." “Times has reported that Fauci has “grown bolder” in correcting Trump publicly and Fauci, in turn, “has become a hero to the president’s critics because of it.” “Fauci, for example, has publicly played down Trump’s claim that hydroxychloroquine combined with an antibiotic could be a “game-changer” in the fight against the disease. “Fauci was asked on CNN Sunday about the Times report on Trump playing down the threat. “I mean. Obviously, you could logically say that if you had a process that was ongoing and you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives,” Fauci said on Sunday. “He said the decision process is complicated but said “if we, right from the very beginning, shut everything down, it may have been a little bit different. But there was a lot of pushback about shutting things down back then.”
“…President Trump has spoken out unfavorably against mail-in ballots. (Fox News) “It shouldn’t be mail-in voting," Trump added. "It should be: you go to a booth and you proudly display yourself. You don’t send it in the mail where people can pick up. All sorts of bad things can happen … by the time it gets in and is tabulated.” “Fauci told CNN that he did not want to sound “pessimistic.” “There is always the possibility, as we get into next fall and the beginning of early winter, that we could see a rebound,” he said.
“A recent Fox News poll showed Trump’s job performance numbers at a record high. “Fauci has faced increasing criticism on conservative radio who see him as a career bureaucrat. (Fox News, April 13, 2020) “Fauci has slammed the media in the past for attempting to “pit” him against Trump. He was asked in March about reports of their relationship being on the rocks. He was asked on the radio show “Mornings on the Mall” about questions from the media and how they seem designed at times to “create a rift between you and the president.” "The president has listened to what I've said and to what the other people who are on the task force have said,” Fauci said. “When I've made recommendations, he has taken them. He has never countered, overwritten me. The idea of just pitting one against the other is not helpful. I wish that would stop and that we'd look ahead at the challenge we have to get over this thing.”How about you stopping, Dr. Fauci? Mr. President, don’t fire the doctor allowing him to declare that you only fired him because he was telling the truth. Ignore Fauci’s predictions that he “can’t guarantee” that it will be safe to physically vote at polls in November due to coronavirus. Take all Obama holdovers, advising you—particularly any with a groupie mentality toward Hillary Clinton—with a grain of salt. Ignore Anthony Fauci rather than giving him the pleasure of firing him and put America back to work as soon as you possibly can.
