Trump Fumes in His First Weekend Out of Office as Fauci Clowns on Him

The Daily Beast

And the worst part? Trump can’t even tweet about it.

In recent days, former President Donald Trump has watched from afar as one of his most popular rivals for public attention has been unleashed by the Biden administration to, in part, disparage Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. And the ex-president hasn’t even been able to tweet about it.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, once a prominent figure on Trump’s coronavirus task force who’s now a top COVID-19 adviser to President Joe Biden, began his multi-day blitz to different news outlets that included openly expressing his relief that the old crew was gone and that he could now serve in the Biden administration.

“One of the new things in this administration is if you don’t know the answer, don’t guess, just say you don’t know the answer,” Fauci told reporters at the White House on Thursday. He also stressed to journalists during that White House briefing that when he told them about how certain matters had markedly improved after Trump left office, he definitely “wasn’t joking!”

And as Biden’s predecessor watched on—albeit from hundreds of miles away from where he last week sat at the height of executive power—he reacted in a fit of grievance, self-obsession, TV hate-watching that largely defined his presidency and now-defunct policy-making operations.

tendency to report the sensational, the pervert, and the overly dramatic. This story looks to me like the media is beginning, once again, to follow Trump around and report on a bunch of nothing that only serves to elevate Trump's standing in the media world. Are we supposed to poop our pants when "Trump Fumes"? He's going to be hit with an avalanche of legal stuff any day now. There will be plenty of time to report substantive news that will go on the public record.

....has always done. His perpetual state of anger and resentment renders him much like an exhibit in the zoo. Ignore him, like the media should have done when he toyed with running for president or when he first launched his birther bullshit.
