Trump retweeted a threat to fire Fauci after he said the US's slow response to COVID-19 has cost lives

On Sunday, President Donald Trump retweeted a call to fire Dr. Anthony Fauci to his 76.8 million followers.

The tweet was in response to Dr. Fauci telling CNN earlier in the day that "no one is going to deny" that lives could have been saved if the US implemented containment measures earlier on in the novel coronavirus outbreak.

It comes one week after Trump stopped Dr. Fauci from weighing in on what he thought about using hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug, on patients with COVID-19.

It's not clear whether it's more than a threat, but Trump has fired several prominent public servants over the last few weeks.

President Donald Trump retweeted a call to fire Dr. Anthony Fauci, the US government's top infectious disease doctor who has so far lasted six presidential administrations, to his 76.8 million followers.

On Sunday, Trump, who is in damage control mode over the US's slow response to dealing with the COVID-19, reshared a tweet about firing Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984 and one of the top experts on Trump's coronavirus task force, who helped tackle the AIDS, Zika, and Ebola epidemics.

The tweet, which was written by Republican DeAnna Lorraine who is running for Congress, said: "Fauci is now saying that had Trump listened to the medical experts earlier he could've saved more lives. Fauci was telling people on February 29th that there was nothing to worry about and it posed no threat to the US public at large." Lorraine's tweet included a hashtag that said: "Time to #FireFauci."

It's been about two months since the US's first cases, and 22,023 have died from the virus and 555,398 have been infected, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

1. All the Doc can do is keep telling the truth, even on borrowed time.

Putin's puppet will keep dancing on its strings.

2. Dr Fauci's time is limited. Trump will not put up with it.

Sad, but the good Dr. has pushed his buttons to many times. Trump is thin skinned and can't have someone who tells the truth.

He will find a Dr. who bends to his will...

The good side of all this is that Dr. Fauci will be released to say whatever he wants to say and Trump will go down in history as the evil malicious dictator he so desperately wants to be, hopefully in hand cuffs and shuffled off to prison.
