The nation’s top infectious diseases expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday said that he doesn’t have much to say for President Donald Trump’s habit of tweeting nonsense about the coronavirus and undermining his expertise.
Fauci again proves he’s a smart man. He’s disregarding Trump the same way he’s been disregarding anti-vaxxers for a generation. There’s no point in considering anything Trump would write because it’s all nonsense.
Late Monday, the President retweeted a post that falsely stated that there was a cure for the coronavirus.
“Covid has cure. America wake up,” the tweet which has since been deleted by Twitter read.
It’s just my fat fingers doing it’s thing…
I regret my retweets…NOT!
Unfortunately, there is NO CURE for stupidity or mendacity!
Nobody should read them, unfortunately the media breathlessly reports all of the drivel that he spews so there is no avoiding it unless you disconnect from the world.
How street smart is Fauci? He obviously knows the nation trusts him and doesn’t trust Trump on handling the virus. So he’s not only technically unfirable, he’s really untouchable in any serious way. They can snipe at him, but he doesn’t care; he’s Anthony Fauci and he’s one of the best at what he does in crises like this and he knows it.
Dr Fauci doesn’tweeter. Neither do I. He is a scientist and so was I in my career (I am retired but still a science truster) We have somethings in common and I think that is way cool.
Edit
There is no way trump can “out pitch” Dr Fauci on a baseball diamond or at a lectern giving covid data.
I am trying to imagine trump throwing the ceremonial pitch in a totally empty stadium, the optics are just too grand to absorb right off.
No cheering crowd
No MAGA hatted idiots in the stands…
It’s just too much…
And if the media had figured this out back 2015-16 we’d have a lot less people dead.
With Trump the more you ignore him, the more he tries to get your attention, and the stupider he looks.
He’s keeping his credibility intact for the day when the real effort starts and he’s back at that lectern telling the nation what’s going to happen and what we have to do. If we do it right we could turn the corner on this thing in a month.
The MSM is one of my biggest complaints.
Oh Donnie is so cute and easy to cover.
He always lies but easy to cover.
We all have the goods on Donnie but if we tell the truth he may not be easy to cover.
No invites to his parties and removal from his Christmas card list.
Or he may Tweet us.
And Trump will rage against the dying of the spotlight. He will not go gentle into that goodnight, which is why we need to figure out now who has the authority to toss his ass out on the front lawn.
