Uh Oh, The White House Just Gave Dr. Fauci A Vote Of Confidence

Apparently White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci isn’t on the chopping block, despite President Donald Trump retweeting a post declaring it was “time to #FireFauci” on Sunday night.


“This media chatter is ridiculous – President Trump is not firing Dr. Fauci,” White House spokesperson Hogan Gidley said on Monday afternoon.

The doctor “has been and remains a trusted advisor” to Trump, according to Gidley.

But the White House’s rosy messaging about government officials who seem to have fallen from Trump’s good graces is rarely a good sign for the official: Former Cabinet members Rex Tillerson, Jeff Sessions, Scott Pruitt, and David Shulkin were all fired after either the White House or Trump claimed they still had his confidence.

4. The White House

Is now infested with a disease and has become a prop for a reality TV show: Trump's American Regime.

I don't plan to put my trust in anyone in there for the foreseeable future. It is mostly a test marketing outlet for The Art of the Steal.

The place smells like old fish, too. There was a Trump/Barr tiff, then some grumbles about Fauci. Isn't that all rather ridiculous and petty, most especially during a grave, national crises that is hitting us hard from top to bottom?

That's why I consider that any infighting might just be part of the show again; a gimmick to appease or confuse. Nothing more.

7. Trump can not fire

Fauci. He is not a appointee,he was confirmed by the Senate and he only can be fired for just cause.
