Trump Reveals Plan to 'Fire Fauci' After Election
https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-reveals-plan-to-fire-fauci-after-electionDuring his last rally of a busy Sunday before Election Day in Opa-Locka, Florida, President Donald Trump made a stunning admission to supporters after a Fire Fauci chant broke out among the crowd.
Dont tell anybody, but let me wait until a little bit after the election, Trump said as his fans cheered. I appreciate the advice, he added before going to to repeat the smear that his own administrations top infectious disease expert has been wrong on a lot about the COVID-19 pandemic.
Its unclear how difficult it would be for Trump to fire Dr. Anthony Fauci, who as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is a career civil servant and not a political appointee.
Earlier this month, when The Daily Beast asked Fauci if he planned on leaving his role with the White House task force over Trump campaign ads that took his comments out of context, he replied, Not a chance. Not in my wildest freakin dreams did I ever think about quitting.

If he fires him, he can't blame him for everything anymore.

Secondly, Fauci was one of Time Magazine's "100 Most Infleuntial People". AND he was on the cover. Really, really, reeeeeeaaallly can't have that.

(11,563 posts)After the election, he will be sitting in front of a mirror, poking at it aggressively and snarling "You're fired!" Over and over again.
I'm sure that his experience on his absolutely terrible reality show has conflated with the rush of consequential firings he has been able to order during his even more terrible tenure in the WH. He may well be in that - for him - halcyon state for some time to come.
