So he's gone from whining about how much more popular Fauci is than he is to railing about what an idiot he is for, yanno, insisting Covid-19 isn't over and is in fact a dangerous virus. And Fauci has been here for, like, 500 years. I suppose for someone with Trump's Mayfly appointees, someone who has been working for the entire pandemic without being fired or replaced has been here 500 years. And of course experts who have spent their entire career studying pandemics and viruses and so on couldn't possibly know more about it that the failing President Trump.
He really brings to mind the entire concept of self esteem poisoning, doesn't he?

But Fauci is popular, even with Republicans, so even Trump realizes firing him could be problematic.
Will this realization prevent Trump from firing Fauci before the election, or will he wait until after (regardless of the outcome)?
Any bookmakers here?

President Trump, who has for months been at loggerheads with public health experts on how best to contain the coronavirus pandemic, on Monday called Dr. Anthony Fauci a "disaster" and complained that Americans are tired of hearing from "these idiots," according to media reports of a call between Trump and campaign staff.
"People are tired of hearing Fauci and these idiots, all these idiots who got it wrong," Trump said on the call meant to discuss Election Day strategy, according to The New York Times.
"He's been here for 500 years," Trump reportedly said of Fauci.
"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."
