    ??? Trump hired Fauci to lead the Whitehouse Corona Virus Task Force. Fauci was the director of NIAID. Then Trump threw Fauci under the bus when his base didn’t like what Fauci said. Trump could have removed Fauci from the Task Force. Instead Trump complained like it wasn’t his choice.

      Fauci was already working for the NIH long before trump was president. Trump didn’t hire him. Fauci was chosen as a member of the Covid task force by trump, correct - along with 11 other government department employees.

        The only reason Fauci was on TV and setting policy on COVID was because Trump hired him to the Trump task force. Trump could have removed him from the Task force. Instead Trump acted like he had no power over Fauci.

        That Fauci had been previously working for the government is irrelevant. Trump hired Fauci to the Trump COVID Task Force. Everything Fauci did was under Trump’s control.
