"Fauci is a disaster. If I listened to him, we’d have 500,000 deaths," Trump said during the call, which the campaign allowed reporters to join.

 

never fear, mister president, you're halfway there!  and given your continued bungling of your non-response, it's almost a certainty that you'll attain that lofty goal by the time you're kicked out of the people's house in january.

 

yepper, our death numbers are big.  yugely big!  people are saying nobody has as many covid dead as we do.  i hear other nations envy our numbers.  ~~winning!

Hey 3 more weeks and we can all be happy that the American election is

over for 4 more years.  I just hope that Dr. Fauci will be much happier than

Trump.

Geezer

I am gravely concerned no matter what the outcome is, I feel it does not portend well for so many, and will need a steady hand and mind to reunite under whoever wins.

The same Mr Fauci who the Trump incorporated into a campaign video with a schoolboy standard snipped excerpt to create the impression Dr Fauci was praising him ..

You can bet many on Trump's team (many of which are better described as rats) are quietly planning their escape from the sinking SS Trump.   Right now, they are afraid to attempt an escape, but right after election day when Joe becomes the President-Elect the rats will start jumping boat for all kinds of bogus reasons. The most used reasons will probably be health and family reasons.

 

And come noon 20 Jan 2021 after Joe is sworn in as President and Donald flies off to one of his golf resorts (like he being doing almost every weekend since elected), many of those rats will start telling their stories...publishing their books....testifying in court...which will not be flattering of Donald.

So he publicly berates a member of his team to reassure his team.  Hmm, maybe it's something they teach at Wharton.

 

Actually, I think it's trump U.

Clearly Fauci is senile because being able to discuss at length highly technical subjects in a socially appropriate way is one of the chief symptoms of senility.

Dr Fauci needs to dumb down science so that Americans can understand. Besides most of what he said was censored by the White House and trump. Its when Fauci spoke the truth and not inline with trump’s message you see the friction.  The main problem and reason for 219,000 covid dealths is on trump.  Idiot trump fanatics wont wear masks because trump wont mandate common sense.  Its why tomorrow im voting his a.. out of office.  An embarrassment to the office of President and the US Constitution.

People have the evidence, know the possible ramifications, and have freedom of choice so far, so unless it is mandated I guess people have the freedom to make poor choices, including POTUS.

He's a pompous ass, and has indeed sown total confusion with his contradictory statements about travel to or from China, or it's no use (today) wearing a mask, and (tomorrow) people should wear a mask wherever possible.

Fauci is a civil servant, so can get away with making contradictory statements ( the same thing has occurred in the UK with disastrous results).  Trump earlier on was following Fauci and his contradictions, but because he is a politician he can't get away with making these contradictory statements. 

If Trump is at fault it is because he failed to do adequate research into Fauci's qualifications.  Just cos he's been there for decades does not grant him immunity from being ludicrous.  Anyone who's been in a work environment where a person is allowed to stay on and on and on knows how poisonous the atmosphere can get. 

In the meantime, the doc is adored by a lot of suburban housewives who will not be voting for Trump.  And that should make him happy as he approaches 80.....

Dr Fauci has worked for 5 Presidents ....its trump that’s  not qualified. Hire a reality tv scammer clown. Expect a circus

Nice try. In the early stages of the epidemic it was reckoned by scientists that mask wearing - particularly wearing masks that weren't high grade - wasn't effective. As the research came in, scientists accepted the data and changed their recommendations. Ya think it would have been better if Fauci had stuck to the earlier recommendations despite the new information?

There was also the question of the public snatching up high grade n95 masks which were and continue to be in short supply (thanks Trump!) and so depriving front line health care workers of needed protection.

You answered your own comment by understanding that n95 were needed. Also all scientists were learning about this virus at the same time so what evolved was a mask mandate for the airborn desease. Trump ignore it . Politicized masks. Train wreck here in America.  Please let Biden win and lock up the trump grifters

You could apply the same "freedom of choice" argument to justify allowing drunk driving.  Unfortunately drunk drivers and super spreaders harm more than themselves.

Fauci and cdc recommend what needs to be done. Trump ignores it then blames fauci.

 

Always someone to blame. The buck stops somewhere else.

 

Trumps America is not great.

[onthedarkside 1,386]

A post with a derogatory reference to a politician's name, AND attempted profanity, has been removed.

 

Don't abuse people's names, and don't use profanity, or face a suspension.

He's actually been mocking Biden for "listening to the scientists". The level of this guys ignorance is enormous.

Permit me to doubt Trump can ever be happy, he seems to need a constant stimulus of adoration from his acolytes.

We had a Prime Minister in Australia who was anti-science. He was kicked out of his seat after his own party had deposed him. Americans should follow that lead.
