During a conference call with campaign staff that White House reporters were bizarrely allowed to listen in on, President Trump complained that “there’s a bomb” every time Dr. Anthony Fauci goes on television, which is most days.
This is far from the first time President Trump has complained about the good doctor. But it might be the first time he’s offered some direct commentary on exactly why he won’t fire Dr. Fauci, even as Trump seems to have moved on with a new COVID-19 advisor, Dr. Scott Atlas, who has faced persecution by Big Tech for his views on how to approach COVID-19.
Though he conceded that the good doctor is “a nice guy” who has “been around for 500 years”, Trump said the problem with Dr. Fauci is that every time he goes on TV “there’s a bomb”, yet if you fire him, “there’s an even bigger bomb”.
“People are saying whatever…just leave us alone. People are tired of COVID…People are tired of hearing Fauci and these idiots, all these idiots who got it wrong…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.”
With less than 3 weeks to go before election day, Trump also asserted that the American people are moving on from COVID-19 as cases rebound, while hospitalizations are also starting to creep higher. However, so far at least, deaths have been mostly subdued.
Confirming that he was speaking mostly off the cuff, Trump added after that if there was a reporter on the call (he didn’t seem to realize that multiple WH reporters were apparently listening) they could report it “just how I said it.”
“If there’s a reporter on you can have it just the way I said it, I couldn’t care less,” Trump said.
According to the NYT, Trump’s campaign manager had organized the call to discuss strategy, before Trump pivoted to Dr. Fauci, an issue that was clearly on his mind following the doctor’scriticisms of Trump’s campaign ads last week.
The NYT also brought up an interview with Dr. Fauci on ’60 Minutes’ last night where the doctor refuted Trump’s claims that the end of the outbreak is just around the corner.
Trump also reportedly called an NYT article claiming Trump was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with some of his aides – which followed Trump hinting that he might not bring back AG Bill Barr if elected for a second term due to his inability to charge any of the FBI officials involved with Operation Crossfire Hurricane despite the mountain of evidence suggesting some skulduggery was afoot as the FBI tried to put together an “insurance policy” to protect the nation from Trump.
“I love Mark Meadows,” Trump reportedly said (the NYT report focused on frictions between the president and his chief of staff).
Finally, Trump also told staff that the Wall Street Journal – which is controlled by Rupert Murdoch, who also owns and controls the New York Post, the paper the published the string of damning reports about Hunter Biden’s influence-peddling abroad – is working on “an important story”.

…”Trump hinting that he might not bring back AG Bill Barr…”
SMH
Trump is right. You’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t. And that scenario tells us literally EVERYTHING we need to know about why things are being done the way they are.
Oh, yes sure, the CASES are up, but if you are a person who can read and not just sit like a pickled cucumber in front of the TV endlessly bombarded with drivel from MSM, then you must know the PCR tests are a farce and only meant for one thing: to inflate supposed cases.
Now, short of just Clintoning everyone in a certain demographic, people are just not dying from this anymore in the numbers we saw a few months ago.
Why? Well, again, if you have more operating brain cells than The Two Minute Basement Egg, you know that this virus, like literally EVERY DAMN VIRUS before it, kills off the most vulnerable population first, because they are ….vulnerable. In this case, it was the elderly and those with 2+ co-morbidities were the vulnerable sector of the population. And we all know co-morbities are racist so let’s just not bring that shit up, shall we? Thanks.
And if you choose to operate as a logical human being instead of a hysterical than you can figure out that a janky piece of cloth that has been sitting in your cup holder of your 1995 Bronco with soda stains, gum fragments, and petrified french fries is not going to protect you from literally anything except maybe the glob of spit projected at you from a very angry Biden supporter. If you are out among them, I strongly suggest protective eye wear as well.
Those of us that actually do choose to read, and not just twitter, have perhaps perused the box of a surgical mask and will have discovered that the box states pretty clearly that it does not protect you from viruses.
And again, we have seen a kinda fat 74 year old guy who is not a paragon of fitness get the Rona and recover in pretty short time without the need for much more than some meds and time off. Of course his return home was breathlessly described as the posturing of a dictator, because apparently only dictators use stairs on camera. I didn’t know that, but that’s what Richard, I mean, Rachel Maddow said, so it must be true.
And you know, guys like Dr. Shortstuff have spent a really, really long time being “right” and probably base their whole existence on preening in the glory of suck ups and over weening moronic yes men.
I am curious as to where Madam Scarf went. She was out there for a while, but then there were some very telling moments of clarity and common sense and so she was probably told to take a nice, well-deserved, long vacation somewhere. God knows we absolutely cannot have anyone with common sense in the public eye, that just causes confusion and might make Jack Dorsey upset and have to ban stuff.
Then if we keep using logic, which I know, I know, we have been told repeatedly is NOT in our best interest, but just stay with me here…then we can look back and realize that we have never masked for any flu season before. Despite such previous flu seasons taking the lives of a lot of people. Like 80,000 in 2018 where 900,000 were hospitalized.
But the good news is apparently there have been zero flu deaths this year. Or at least no one is talking about those, except when we use made up words like “twindemic” to make the hysterics cry to the heavens and maybe wear two masks. Or a portable bubble. I think if you could add wi fi to the bubble with blue tooth and it could sync with your Ring door bell and your fit bit a lot more people would want them. In the colder areas perhaps some solar powered heating system? I think I heard Apple was making one. Should be a hot seller.
And now we have been told that Thanksgiving should absolutely be cancelled in person. I think maybe some people might be on board with that, especially if this was your year to go to the in-laws. I mean, that 4 hour drive to some no where place in upstate NY to eat dry turkey and store pie and listen to your mother in law complain and watch football peppered with BLM messages sounds really fun and all but I say let’s bag it.
If you have your Facebook Portal I think we can all agree that’s just as good. So chef up your turkey at home and plunk down in front of the Portal and eat with your family virtually. Hugs…just say no. You obviously want people to die you selfish prick.
Fuck Fakebook; They are The Enemy.
Our Pup. I love the Pup.
I’d like to know who the downvoters are on this excellent piece, just so I’d know two people I would completely ignore when it comes to anything they say.
Nice rant, I especially enjoyed
“is not going to protect you from literally anything except maybe the glob of spit projected at you from a very angry Biden supporter”
Classic imagery for 2020.
Most Excellent rant!!
I’ve noticed lately that if you want to get anything done, it takes an appointment now. There’s also much talk about a second wave and more mask-wearing mandates. These idiots are out to destroy our lives. They do seem to be training the population to do whatever stupid shit they say to do. It looks to be working from what I see.
After decades of indoctrination and the exact opposite of critical thinking skills, you have a population that is perfectly prepped to be manipulated like warm wax on a hot day.
Poke, prod, and propagandize your way right into a glorious new world of poverty, drugs, and zombies.
All while our glorious leaders and uber-wealthy elites bask in their castles high above the stinking mess.
That was a hard poetic truth.
If Fraudci is an idiot and still around then who is the real idiot?
That’s a great point. One thing Trump hasn’t done well is choosing Cabinet members, White House staff, etc. I mean how many has he gone through? A lot.
And Fraudci (haha that’s funny) may the absolute worst of them all. That’s on Trump.
Like Trump said he has been there for 500 years, so he obviously didnt choose him, he just has not fired him yet.
And it is no stretch to say, if he would have fired him, then we would not have gotten to know and love him so.
I am dying for a Fauci action figure, with a dozen masks.
I agree with you.
But, to clarify, I’m not upset that Trump won’t (can’t) fire Fraudci. It’s that he never should have hired him in the first place.
Fraudci and his ever changing and contradictory statements. That action figure should come with four faces.
I would have figured his track record with CoV-1 would have shed some light on the horseshit parade, but I can see it did not and the world is definitely not better off. Especially with the medical field uprising and the shit bags at the WHO flipping scripts. Atlas looks like the only one tooting the horns at the moment and he got nuked on shitcial media, so he is on target as the saying goes.
Facmask Fauci doll or Non-face mask? That is the marketing question.
Gay!
and gay-er!
Think of this scenario: Trump gets rid of Fauci completely. What happens? More MSM bullshit about wanting people to die and “ignoring the science”.
Second term he can just say fuck off. People, real people not twitter and facebook zombies, really are sick of hearing about Covid and the “new normal” and lies.
And these people really, really do need to fuck right off.
Fauxi…must be codeword for TWO FACED FRAUDSTER.
Fascist Fauchi is disgusting. He gave me the creeps the first time he appeared on TeeVee. Physiognomy?
And even though I wear my NY accent on my sleeve, I want to step on Fauxi’s neck.
“but there’s a bigger bomb if you fire him.” Can there be a clearer proof that a president has boundaries? John Perkins spelled out the house rules in his book “Confessions of an Economic Hitman.” Do as you’re told and you’ll be rewarded. Rebel and you get grassy knolled.
All 1st term Presidents do, elections.
Its the 2nd term that can serve to more clearly illustrate hands of the elite.
