(5,271 posts)After watching the rallies and debates over 4 years ago it seemed obvious to me that there was nothing remotely funny about Trump but only malevolence and not a shred of decency or goodness or honesty.

But I am not going to blame Fauci for doing a difficult jobs under these circumstances. He has my complete respec. And I think those who blaming him are wrong!

(37,457 posts)He probably thinks he can do more good staying in his current job, and just says what he needs
to say occasionally to keep Trump mollified. Trump is a highly insecure jealous little boy and cannot
stand that Dr. Fauci is more popular and respected than he is, and gets more TV time than he does.

Mabe we should olive some of them a little respect for trying to hold the Country together. And take his daily abuse. Trump has no one who is even willing to work for him. Thus, Hicks, Spencer. Neither one could make it.

he is correct to be stoic, trump is capable of anything.

(4,316 posts)Well maybe after he starts smiling and then holds his head, he goes back to poker face. But in Russia, that show of body language would probably get you ousted from the circle.

(13,899 posts)the first day he crowded up there on the stage with Trump. As a respected professional in this field, he should have called bullshit long before now. If he was stifling a laugh today, it isn't funny. Trump's "deep state" includes him.

(8,926 posts)if his soul was going to leave it would most certainly be gone by now. Instead, Fauci keeps bringing up that bullshit talking point about how great it was of Trump taking action to block travel from China, as if Trump is the only one who could think up such a brilliant move.

The few people left in his orbit with any abilities whatsoever are trying to save the country while appeasing a toddler with no impulse control who is kicking and screaming and juggling with hand grenades.
Its gotta be tough. They must have decided that their own reputations will have to take a hit in the service of the greater good, because they know that if they get the boot for not praising Dear Leader hell just have Jared take over their jobs.
