Trump indicates that he wants to fire corona expert Fauci
US expert Anthony Fauci has repeatedly criticized Donald Trump for his handling of the corona pandemic. Now the US president publicly toyed with the idea of firing the immunologist. All developments regarding the US election in the live ticker.
US President Donald Trump has hinted at the dismissal of virus expert Anthony Fauci. At an election campaign event in Opa-locka, Florida, Trump expressed his frustration on Monday night that the rise in coronavirus cases in the United States was still a lot in the news. With it he sparked “Fauci dismissed” shouts from thousands of his followers. “Don’t tell anyone, but let me wait for a while after the election,” Trump said. He appreciated her “advice”.
His statements shortly before the presidential election on Tuesday should ensure that Trump’s handling of the coronavirus will continue to be the focus of the election campaign. Before that, Trump had never been so direct with a serious suggestion of wanting to fire Fauci. Fauci is the highest-ranking U.S. expert on infectious diseases. He is a member of the White House’s coronavirus task force.
Trump has also scheduled a major election party at the White House despite warnings from health officials about the risks of large gatherings amid the coronavirus pandemic. Around 400 invited guests are expected in the east wing of the seat of government on election night on November 3rd, government circles said on Sunday. All guests would have to undergo a corona test beforehand.
