DISGUSTING—Trump fuels his MAGA rally to chant “Fire Fauci!”
...to which Trump replies—“Let me wait until a little after the election”.
What sick grotesque country do we live under? #COVID19

2) All the while Trump has censored Fauci countless times. https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1318101606064422912
3) But here is the thing—Trump actually can’t directly fire Dr Fauci, who is head of NIAID, which is a division of NIH. Only NIH Director Francis Collins is likely the only one who can fire Fauci—but they are decades old best friends. And Collins says he would not!
4) Thus, Trump again is either clueless, or he intends to set up some Nixon style Saturday Night Massacre and fire NIH director if he refuses and fire several deputies until one fires Fauci upon Trump’s demand. And that would be utterly insane. But we are at the whim of a madman.
5) That said, Trump WH just put in an executive order that creates a a new way to fire professional technical federal employees. It’s Trump’s way to trying to kill off civil servants who resist him. True to form. https://www.npr.org/2020/10/31/929597578/a-huge-attack-critics-decry-trump-order-that-makes-firing-federal-workers-easier
