If Trump is stupid enough to fire Fauci, when Biden wins...

Biden should pick up Fauci for his transition team and have him on TV everyday until the inauguration, if he can. Would be fun to watch Trump and other Rep losers heads explode. Then after the swearing in, he can reappoint Fauci and give him a medal...or two or three. Oh, and a statue! Too bad we don't have National Treasure status for people like the Japanese do.

He’s career Civil Service and has merit systems protection against just this type of thing.

Political appointees serve at the pleasure of the President, but not us career appointees.

Of course, when has legality stopped Trump before?

And possibly demote him from his director position at the Disease Center?

BTW how did Trump fire McCabe, I forget. Did he get Sessions to do it? Is there someone like a Sessions above Fauci?

Dimwit thinks Joe's statement is about revenge & spite.

"It" cannot comprehend that REAL leaders bring on the best, most exerienced experts in every field & listen to them!

While I highly doubt Dr. Fauci wants or needs a job, I'll bet he would relish in leading a REAL covid program!
