Trump Lashes Out at Fauci Amid Criticism of Slow Virus Response

The only way to defeat the bullshitters is to understand their game. One doesn't have to play but one has to know the rules.

He told the truth when pressed after tons of deflections.

Yes Trump them corpses are pretty much your fault.

Suck on that.

The guy should just up and quit. It’s not like he would be lacking for offers.

To get out from under the orange buffoon and into a situation where he didn’t have to worry about offending him. He could probably help more people on the talk show circuit than where he is now

People WANT to hear from him

"Who speaks Truth to the Sultan should keep one foot in the stirrup."

Unfortunately, the Amurkan people are a bunch of idiots and cowards that allowed Bif to take over the government.

Has always been a pattern from trump. He then picks a fight , makes false claims by lying , then exaggerates the lies to use to fired them with. Anyone who doesn't promote him over the truth is fair game for him. I expect rumps false claims against him are about to happen , and trump will have others doing the same thing.

But there will be massive backlash.

... goes against the Party Line. I watched some FOX "News" this weekend and they are all in with the "President Trump acted early and boldly, saving lives" theme. They show carefully selected clips of Pelosi implying the Corona-virus was not a threat. The good doctor is not going along with the program.

DeAnna Lorraine, a right-wing activist who unsuccessfully ran in the Mar. 3 California primary to challenge House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is now pushing new conspiracy theories about COVID-19, promoting the hashtags #coronavirustruth and #filmyourhospital.

On Sunday, Lorraine filmed outside two hospitals in Los Angeles and found them quiet—which she took as a sign that the hospitals and mainstream media are engaged in a hoax, rather than a simpler alternative explanation, which is that hospitals aren’t allowing any visitors to try to protect their patients and prevent further spread of the virus.

“Let’s get #FilmYourHospital trending,” Lorraine tweeted Sunday afternoon. As of early Monday morning, that message had been retweeted more than 15,000 times and people were taking her up on the challenge, filming quiet hospital parking lots as if they were revealing yet another mainstream media plot. The hashtag has also attracted outrage from medical professionals and others who are warning that this kind of disinformation is threatening people’s lives.

Lorraine was back at it on Monday morning, tweeting messages like “I’m sure we would all like the actual #Coronavirustruth” and “How many people do you personally know with #COVID19.” She asserted that, “The FDA has never been interested in cures or safety.”

Took me awhile to realize Fauci was steering between reality and Trump's desire while in fear of losing his job.

This is no way to run a government. Trump must go.

I don't know how many times I have heard Trump supporters say that Trump did all that he could. Trump has been repeating that narrative over and over again at his virus rallies. His 1 claim to fame is sealing the border with China which also was a lie, 40,000 people came here from China, some from Wuhan, after Trump "sealed" the border.

Fauci is working on Trump's virus team and he isn't following the talking points which usually means certain firing. The problem for Trump is that Fauci is very popular and he is weighing if canning him will be politically positive with his base. If he fires Fauci he is toast.

Trump should stick to blaming China, our governors, our states, Obama, Hillary will be next, because Trump is boxed in a corner and there are few good ways out.

Given that not only is he stupid, ignorant, narcissistic and corrupt, but he is also incompetent.

Tell everyone, make a bumpersticker, tweet, social media, scream. This really rattles Trump.

This will go against the grain for the gop. They support incompetence 100%. They are not immune, maybe if one of their family members gets the virus, they will see things in a different light? Nah, that would make them human, and THAT is not the gop way. Besides, THEY have their Cadillac insurance. That saved the vile Rand Paul.

Lashing out. Unfortunately the corona virus doesn't give one tiny shit how much Trump lashes out against anything. Trump is oblivious to the reality of this situation, so he'll still be lashing out as a private citizen from Mar-ma-lardo (or hopefully, prison) next January.

...using any power words when describing the words or deeds of this fake bully.

Never “lashes out,” but rather “wet-noodles out.”

Fauci will be proven RIGHT!! The virus will explode again!

That's definite cause for dismissal.

and he knows it..................I think.............. because every time he does this stuff he first comes out and says X should be fired, and then while he is on his golden toilet he does it...........he just doesn't care, his ego is so big that he cannot let someone get more air time than him............and he is "always right, always"...........

I wish there would be fall-out, but there won't, not on the right anyway.

I think the only upside would be that Joe Biden could hire Fauci and start a REAL national response plan. Work with the Governors, and show everybody what it would look like if we had a responsible, competent president with an actual, coordinated national response plan. In a few weeks the deaths in the southern states will start ramping up, and maybe then the trump followers (some of them anyway) will get a clue and vote in their own best interest.

How DARE the stupid doctor criticize DEAR LEADER!?!
