Trump Slams “Idiot” Dr. Fauci: “Every Time He Goes On TV It’s A Bomb…But There’s A Bigger Bomb If You Fire Him” | Zero Hedge
During a conference call with campaign staff that White House reporters were bizarrely allowed to listen in on, President Trump complained that “there’s a bomb” every time Dr. Anthony Fauci goes on television, which is most days.
This is far from the first time President Trump has complained about the good doctor. But it might be the first time he’s offered some direct commentary on exactly why he won’t fire Dr. Fauci, even as Trump seems to have moved on with a new COVID-19 advisor, Dr. Scott Atlas, who has faced persecution by Big Tech for his views on how to approach COVID-19.
Though he conceded that the good doctor is “a nice guy” who has “been around for 500 years”, Trump said the problem with Dr. Fauci is that every time he goes on TV “there’s a bomb”, yet if you fire him, “there’s an even bigger bomb”.
People are saying whatever…just leave us alone. People are tired of COVID…People are tired of hearing Fauci and these idiots, all these idiots who got it wrong…every time he goes on television there’s always a bomb, but there’s a bigger bomb if you fire him. This guy’s a disaster.”
With less than 3 weeks to go before election day, Trump also asserted that the American people are moving on from COVID-19 as cases rebound, while hospitalizations are also starting to creep higher. However, so far at least, deaths have been mostly subdued.
