No, we haven't. Failing to shut down the CDC power grab was Trump's biggest failure. Not firing Fauci changed me from an enthusiastic Trump supporter into a reluctant one.
- nate_meurer 5y agoTrump did far worse than simply not fire Fauci. Trump made Fauci a living martyr (yes, sorry, I can't think of a better phrase). The things Trump did and said regarding the pandemic were so consistently and profoundly idiotic, they made the bumbling bureaucrats around him look like sages. And his empty threats and blustering emboldened them, and amplified the worst of the covid scolds in opposition. Everything we can fault Fauci for is equally on Trump's head.
