President Trump suggested that he will fire Dr. Anthony Fauci after Tuesday’s election, as his rift with the nation’s top infectious disease expert widens while the U.S. sees its most alarming outbreak of the coronavirus since the spring.

Speaking at a campaign rally in Opa-locka, Florida, Trump expressed frustration that the surging cases of the virus that hasin the United States this year remains prominent in the news, sparking chants of “Fire Fauci” from his supporters.

It’s the most direct Trump has been in suggesting he was serious about trying to remove Fauci from his position. He has previously expressed that he was concerned about the political blowback of removing the popular and respected doctor before Election Day. In an interview with The Washington Post this weekend, Fauci cautioned that the U.S. will have to deal with “a whole lot of hurt” in the weeks ahead due toFauci said the U.S. “could not possibly be positioned more poorly” to stem rising cases as more people gather indoors during the colder fall and winter months. He says the U.S. will need to make an “abrupt change” in public health precautions.

realDonaldTrump You are being presumptuous to think you'll have a job past Tuesday. That said, go ahead, fire him. Joe Biden will reinstate him in January.

Anyone up for a go fund me page for Dr. Fauci?

Trump says he'll bring back jobs. Now he's firing everybody. Wow.

Trump can’t.

THANK YOU CHINA

DADA - WAKE UP AMERICA- since China Virus disrupted our way of life we were told no masks, one month later wear a mask, next it could spread on surfaces one month later it cannot spread on surfaces, only consistent msg was wash your hands and does science really know

He’s back on 1/20/2021 regardless

Fire Trump. Keep Fauci!

Because trumpf is trash. Just like his supporters

Yes that will bring COVID-19 under control all right.

Well, that'll just free up Fauci to work for the Biden/Harris2020 Campaign!!

More arrogance, ignorance, and absolute sheer stupidity by realDonaldTrump. Sadly, it is what it is.

METHOD:Trump,Pence & the coalition of Civilized Nations attack the careers of individuals who aren't loyalists to their Nazi agenda.Dems & Rep media owners are willfully/criminally bribed to take the same actions to cover-up the actions of the coalition of Civilized Nations-API🌅

Ha I guess he did not get the Memo We are Firing Him ! All Dirtbags must go VoteBidenHarrisToSaveAmerica

Absolute insanity....

Sounds really great! No doubt, realDonaldTrump with his MAGA wins Tomorrow

komonewsradio Open your eyes America. Every word of this 'ruler' a lie.

(3) saying Trump “suggested /or threatened to fire Dr. Fauci” is quite a stretch. (4) this reporter could be well qualified as a commentator on CNN.

Facts presented in this piece of opinionated news: (1) “... chants of “Fire Fauci” from his supporters. “ (2) “Don’t tell anybody but let me wait until a little bit after the election,” Trump replied to thousands of supporters early Monday, adding he appreciated their “advice.”

Mueller failed with his reports that let trump said that he's exonerated. GOP is always a GOP.

We can’t get rid of him of him soon enough, he’s a terror to democracy and civility

Trump finally reveals his COVID plan one day before the election!

Vote Biden

JoyTaylorTalks All the countries that have had success have listened to Health experts not what the economy says a vaccine ain’t coming anytime soon especially when ur country has a high obesity rate which increases death from COVID

Yet he can’t, so🤷🏼‍♀️

Trump knows crap. Fauci does. Not SWAtlasHoover who is trumps enablement for TrumpsGenocide donald trump is a ...

realDonaldTrump meant we will be back in churches by easter 2021..

There’s worse thing that being fired by an idiot, like, oh idk, working for one. Huh, realDonaldTrump

😂😂😂 your ass is grass man! That whole administration is gonna be gone.

I'm sure he cares.🙄

PresidentTrump will call Dr. Fauci&the Government Public Health experts, to assist the🇺🇸American people to control the outbreaks of COVID19 when lifting restrictions to work in the economic recovery. The First LadyMelania Trump will be an inspiring&encouraging support voice

Trump is a dangerous moron. Dangerous.

Compare reporting from the center, right and left at

JoyTaylorTalks Wow; really All because he knows what he's talking about? SMH

Good! Get younger experts!

Fauci is 80 years old! Time to retire!

'Fire all the experts' is a terrible strategy.

Further proving his arrogance.🤔

JoyTaylorTalks People calling a doctor a fraud and then they turn around and vote for a reality tv host for govt office

Can Dr Fauci BE fired?

God help us if this orange maggot gets re-elected. We are on our own.

Because Fauci speaks the truth

Who else is ready to end this clown 🤡 show tomorrow

Arrogance, ignorance, and absolute sheer stupidity are trademarks of this administration — and it all begins at the very top with realDonaldTrump.

fujacky2

On Tuesday America is going to fire TrumpIsPathetic and his GOPComplicitTraitors vote and show no mercy.

I imagine Trump is going to fire a lot of people after he loses the election. As we have learned from him it’s always somebody else’s fault!

Trump kills Americans.

Trump must be on glue. What a complete and utter gimp!!!

Fauci is not reliable🤫

AnthonyFauci will survive realDonaldTrump like smart Medicine Pope RudolfVirchow chancellor Bismarck. But to be clear: realDonaldTrump is an offspring of draft evader Grandfather who begged after made $$$ as California pimp to become GermanEmpire citizen again:deported+ban

JoyTaylorTalks Maybe because Donald Trump keeps holding markets, undistanced rallies that are helping ppl get sick.

Riddiculous

Trump wants tens of thousands more people dead.

JoyTaylorTalks EVERYONE needs to watch this documentary available on Prime or Hulu about the failed response to the virus. This needs to go viral, PLEASE share and retweet!

No he didn’t my god

Long time coming. Corrupt, partisan scientists have to be fired with disgrace.

JoyTaylorTalks These damn scientists and their data. What do we need science for anyway

Not if Americans fire Trump first.

JoyTaylorTalks Look up what fauci name really means it stands for fake loo

JoyTaylorTalks ORANGE MAN BAD!!! IMPEACH!!

To quote the pres during the debate “I take full responsibility. It’s not my fault.”

Science

Good. He should have been fired after the '15 days to slow the spread'. He's been wrong about nearly everything. Long overdue for his exit.

Does Trump really think that getting rid of people who “believe” there is a Covid crisis will, in turn, eliminate the crisis? Think for a moment how utterly stupid that is and consider that such a man runs the United States in the 21st Century.

replacing him with a evangelical mystic?

FireTrump

Please America show me you’re rational and that important things matter 😬🗳🇺🇸

Then have him charged with lying to Congress and anything else you can find. Talk about a spy in your midst, this guy was It.

Trump is an eminence, flowing from the underbelly of Earth's colon.

And people think Democrats are dividing the country. It our 🤡 of a President.

Fire him now BunkerBoy. Fauci is not afraid of realDonaldTrump.

POTUS ? Is the one and only ? Better put; lonely expert !

Trump is Vesuvius and the rest of us are Pompeii.

😡

You know who Donald Trump called when he was in the hospital with COVID? Dr. Fauci.

Trump is just too stupid to have this job. He needs to be fired tomorrow.

If Biden wins everyone’s taxes will skyrocket! He will end the Trump tax cuts! This will affect all of us not just the few making over 400K! If you vote Biden Harris into office get ready to pay a lot more in taxes!

realDonaldTrump

Good

Watched a cbs news report on alarming new cases of covid in us. Then they quote a death rate in a third world country not us, stop the nonsense

Fire tRump

Stop the fear mongering Fauci, first releave stress on hospitals, then deaths now cases, noone is reporting deaths now, live your lives

Trump = 🤡

He should Fauci has been wrong about everything AND wouldn’t condemn rioting. Where are those horrible super spreader comments? Research Faucis past with Kary Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test

All I know is this if Trump stays in power tens of millions will get infected and millions will die and COVID will be with us for ever it will be a way of life and we will never go back to Normal pre COVID way of life

Donnie is pissed because he can't censor Dr. Fauci like his admin did to the CDC. FireTrump … that's a much smarter move.

Isn’t that Trump’s tag line...you’re fired! By the way I hated that show!

Covid is winning. realDonaldTrump didn’t listen to Fauci. USA needs leadership who will listen to scientists. BidenHarrisToSaveAmerica

Our President needs to get rid of this so called “doctor” and hire someone with experience in medical research. Maybe Gary Busey or Rudy Giuliani.

A radiologist has much more experience with a virus VoteBlueToEndTheNightmare

Last minute efforts from the radical left media to discredit President Trump.

cheryl_alyson Fauci -who has advised 5 sitting Presidents and they have taken his experience into consideration and made right choices. Trump can’t get Fauci to be his yes man so he’s going to fire him. Makes sense. For Trump. Who you going to believe? An orange or a professional!

Mr. President's eyes are full of unsafe.

Thank you about time. He has done his job at all just tv interviews and going to baseball games

Fire him

Yes, Trump will definitely fire Fauci.... shortly after we fire Trump.

He can’t fire him.

At last

And with Executive Order Schedule F, he is putting the pieces in place to fire Fauci and anyone else that challenges and/or goes against him

Badge of Honor, if Trump is trying to get a holiday named after Fauci firing him is an excellent start

The people were asking for it, that is the part you omitted. Fauci has shown a poor leadership and sends contradictory information. Fire him.

VoteHimOut

FAKE NEWS, Pres. suggested no such thing

This gonna get worse

D day is tomorrow ! Vote for Biden

How did we find ourselves with a man in the White House with so much hate for decent people?

Fauci deserves to be fired.

This household stands with you Dr. Fauci.

Dr Fauci doing his job and upholding his oath as a doctor wants to save lives and thats a big inconvenience to our president

Have to fire everyone who tells the truth, can’t have anyone making sense in this administration.

I can do without Fauci.

Not sure if this is even possible. You can't fire yourself out of your own incompetence.

I do not get the Trump strategy of feeding his base. This chant changes no one’s mind just gets more Dems to the polls. FauciHero

Fauci is no expert. It's all just his opinion which has proved wrong.

If only Fauci is fired a few years ago

Fauci should resign today and endorse JoeBiden and KamalaHarris

He is a narcissistic crook. Does not care about public health.

wspen54568 What a POS of shit! I like Fauci

Because he is threatened by a smart, rational, professional who is trying to do the right thing and won't mindlessly agree with him.

Good

Trump only appointed sycophants who told him only what he wanted to hear! He finds the truth and facts very difficult to handle or accept.

Outbreaks of the disease will always occur while the vaccine is not found. It doesn't matter if you lock up people for months, years, or a lifetime. What they have to be clear about is that they cannot stop the economy of a country.

Mhmm that'll fix it! With Fauci out of the way the virus will just wash away like a miracle, and santa claus and the tooth fairy can restore the economy! No more fact bullshit! Science is for nerds

...and you would think Trump is the exact kind of guy, that the working class hates? was born wealthy, is spoiled, never takes blame for bad, takes all the credit for good, even when its not his😆😆😆narcissist personality, will head for the exits, if confronted about his actions

Might as well get rid of the last remaining competent adviser.

'Its most alarming outbreak' Could you color the news just a LITTLE less.

Our great President fires untrustful con man. Of course he should!

Everyone blames Trump for the 230K deaths and who was the expert advising him the entire tome?

Could someone answer if he could fire Fauci or not? I remember seeing a June article stating Fauci can’t be fired technically from the President.

This is what a demonic dictator does! Vote out this fascist despot, Trump, on November 3rd. Biden-Harris 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

trump is a damn fool.

Anyone need any more evidence that we must get rid of Trump the madman?

He doesn't have the power to do that!

Long over due!!!

If tRump “wins” he could admit Covid exists and actually do the right thing by listening to doctors.

Whether Donald is re-elected or not this individual has become the MOST DANGEROUS Person to America! There will be CONTINUING consequences of having an INCOMPETENT Individual with the highest level of US Security. He’s already proven he CANNOT handle an emergency federal response

realDonaldTrump can fire Dr. Fauci but future President JoeBiden will rehire him after firing quack, Dr. Atlas, a fellow of the conservatv Hoover Inst at Stanford. Trump went Dr shopping to hire backer of 'herd immunity' as he continues his 'do nothing' plan to fight pandemic.

Vote Trump out before it’s to late he will be out of control with no checks and balances four more years of this madness vote Biden

Why Dr Fauci waiting to be kicked out? He should resign immediately.

Trump cannot tolerate ANYONE who tells the truth. He has sidelined Dr. Fauci and elevated Atlas who spews the lines that trump likes. Hopefully America has realized that an administration of asskissers is woefully incapable of governance in the best of times, and dangerous now.

Ahh...the pattern continues. If you don't test, you don't have cases. If you don't count votes, you can't be voted out. If you don't have an expert warning of a virus, it magically disappears.

fire this Fauci. he manipulated Americans and flip flop too many time

It’s about damn time. I feel like that guy just likes the attention and keeps changing his stance or “guidelines” for another 10 minute segment on a news channel.

want to see an alarming pandemic outbreak ? Look at Spain, run by a socialist government. Not a clue to what has to be done

Good

Dr. Fauci has a stellar reputation.

Good Morning Mr. President Today’s US COVID19 Deaths is 236,501 You can ignore the DAILY Moms, Dads & Kids Body Counts caused by YOUR INCOMPETENCE in directing the world’s most powerful Government’s Crisis Response! Sadly they are gone & can no longer speak out... However WE CAN

Trump wants to imply that it was Fauci's fault that he (Trump) behaved like a moron throughout the Covid-19 disaster. After all Fauci is only an immunologist , Director of NIAID , and has successfully advised 6 presidents .

He won't do it before the election because he knows Fauci is more popular than he is and it would look bad.

De no creer ...

Wait, the AP said Trump would fire him back in the summer, was the AP wrong then?

Firing Fauci will not make the virus go away! Depraved indifference to human life. 1moreday TrumpsLastDance TrumpsSwanSong

Oh FFS. Trump incited the chant by his cult, paid supporters. Biden already stated Fauci will lead the pandemic response. Trump is going to prison. He is finished. When will media wake the hell up out of your own 2016-created nightmare.

FauciTheFraud

Scapegoat

Extremely unfit to be POTUS!!

Fauci should tell him to go to hell and quit. All he’s ever done was his job.

I’m sure he’ll enjoy his tenure at CNN. That’s where all failed government employees end up.

dr fauci and donald the quack doctor

and I bet no one has ever looked more forward to receiving a pink slip. Tell DrAnthonyF that we're going to end this madness and fire realDonaldTrump first. timesuptrump TrumpIsPathetic TrumpIsLosing trumpisnotwell MAGA MAGA2020 TrumpIsACoward TrumpIsALaughingStock

Stop this fucking normalization. It’s not a “rift.” It’s scapegoating a dedicated health professional to cover up the profound incompetence and stupidity of a fascist president. It’s authoritarianism 101.

Trump already fired Fauchi via dog whistle to his following.

Is he going to appoint farrige the 'king of europe' to replace him? He'll be far more on message.

Watch The Comey Rule. This is not surprising

Trump is not really fighting Fauci. He is fighting reality. Trump is simply too shallow to comprehend this simple fact. And he looks like a fool, as the country fights this pandemic while he continues to deny it.

He’s a who shill

Ese hombre es muy oscuro

Save Fauci, Save America - Vote Blue

As well he should

The only way to keep the virus from spreading is to require the country’s 330M citizens to stay locked in their homes for months. In other words - it’s impossible. Until there’s a vaccine-controlling this is impossible.

He literally cannot fire Fauci. Only Francis Collins (Director of NIH) can fire him, and there’s a snowball’s chance in hell that will happen.

He is like a weather man with his predictions and still has a job. The only reason he has not been fired is because of bad press before the election. The 🪓 will fall if Trump is re-elected.

Trump will be fired tomorrow

Lol, getting fired by a corrupt con-man, incompetent at everything and a criminal seems like a good thing!

Trump admin is in constant chaos....

Imagine caring either way.

Change his diaper , Donnie is getting cranky

Who needs experts when we have the natural instincts of a polymath genius like Donald Trump?

Only way to ensure you survive as an American is go vote trump out. Covid is going to wreck havoc on the hospital system after all these dopey rally's hes holding(always 2week lag in spikes). If Trump wins, goodbye economy, sick people don't contribute to economic prosperity.

Birx is better anyways.

Some people you can trust some you don't. Fauci falls into the latter because of his kniving actions.

Makes sense. Fauci becomes 80 years old in December. Better solution is Fauci decides himself to resign and leave his position to a younger American scientist.

He should have been fired months ago.

Yeah ok- after you are fired tomorrow

I’ll say it again. I prefer a credible infectious disease doctor that can’t be duped in to being interviewed by a registered foreign agent istandwithfauci

TRUMP PRESIDENCY = DISASTER DumpTrumpDayNov3

He’s got my vote. Fauci needs to go

Que fuerte!!!

He should be fired months ago. A corrupted and dance-with -evil guy.

Some data to debunk Fauci: There's been almost 0 Covid deaths in Sweden for 90 days. Sweden hasn't even had one lockdown!

He will not have a chance to fire anyone anymore.

He really can’t fire 🙄 Dr. Fauci. Fauci can leave whenever he wants.

Fauci is unelected, yet dictating policy. The problem with having the same official in the same post for decades is well known and can be seen with Mr Putin in Russia.

Biden can reinstate Fauci with back pay.

Please vote. The world (except North Korea and Russia) is tired of having to put up with these incompetent sexist racist people. Thanks and good luck my beloved USA!

He has no authority to fire Fauci.

(Italy) elected or openly sympathizers of the PD, even in the USA the Covid was used as a political weapon against Trump by the democratic gallops of Obama, Soros and Gates to favor the Biden nullity. Fauci is the most famous

Yes, fire the most knowledgeable expert on infectious disease in America. Only an idiot would do that. Only an idiot.

wangzhian8848

Fauci should resign and automatically take a position in the Biden administration, hold pressers everyday, to keep Americans informed and piss off trump.

realDonaldTrump that is beyond ridiculous he's going to fire him for doing his job? Because Trump is in la la land and he wants to get rid of anyone that contradicts his craziness. THIS PHYSICIAN HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO THE PUBLIC HE SERVES, HIS DECISIONS ARE BASED ON THE DATA.

Trump is a disgrace to humanity. VoteTheBastardOut

realDonaldTrump We’ll still listen to Dr. Fauci! He shouldn’t be a part of such a corrupt and ridiculous administration anyway!

Another great reason to vote BidenHarris2020

That is a non-issue, as he will not have the power to fire Dr. Fauci. He might Think he will...but he won't.

Drs & hospitals getting paid by Medicare for Covid deaths. Is Fauci exempt or collecting as well? 🤔

He also wants to do less testing because both Fauci and testing tell us the severity of the situation, and Trump would rather sweep it under the rug.

Fun fact- he doesn’t have the authority to do that. Fauci is a federal employee and doesn’t report directly to Trump.

We are firing Trump!

Great. Fauci failed on aids, h1n1, swine flu, covid and more

Good. Fauci has done nothing but give bad advice since the beginning

Whatever. Biden will hire him after Tuesday.

Vote realDonaldTrump out tomorrow and SaveFauci

Fauci is a Career Bureaucrat. I'm sure he's a Democrat.

If he had listened to Fauci Trump would be looking at easy re-election this week. And the virus would be tamed. Much as it is in many other countries around the world. But, oh well. It’s truly tragic this nut job in the Oval Office

Good.

who media fauce. bill gate main players in virus business

231,000 deaths and climbing. Trump lied. People died. Draft dodger. Tax dodger. TRUTH DODGER. Super Spreader. VOTE HIM OUT! 751,000 more file jobless claims last week. Don’t live in a cocoon of falsehoods. Trump is a Fear Monger. GDP NOT back to pre-pandemic levels. More lies.

Biden campaign - please use this as your lead in campaign stops today!!!

Trump and his horde of mindless zombies will not be happy until the entire country is completely rid of anyone who doesn't embrace their delusions.

Old man pmurt is such the AssHole SEMPER FI. 🍻🌭🍺🍕

Ok. Fauci clearly doesn't care about what trump 'thinks'. Fauci knows he has a voice and platform. I'll still be listening to a learned man over a fool any day.

Shameful..... VoteHimOut2020

He fires everybody. What else is new?

I don’t think we should be listening to this guy about the pandemic or anything really.

We will fire Trump November 3rd

It’s ok Tuesday trump will be waltzed out the door Fauci is the BEST he knows what he is doing

Do you all trust this guy

horrible

Be a team player or get off the team

THE AUDACITY OF THIS MAN 🤮

He's ass should've been fired long time ago already.

Fauci has become political so has lost credibility!
