This is an administration that from the Oval Office itself has always viewed anyone who gets in the presidents way, even in the course of doing their job career officials, longtime political servants are political enemies and should be pushed aside, Lemire said. Were seeing that as the presidents poll numbers continue to slip as he bet so much on the return to normalcy, the reopening of the economy, which includes the reopening schools, and they feel the CDC has been getting in the way, and the president has been listening less and less to the people there.
That includes Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx, who have helped lead the coronavirus task force since the beginning, Lemire said.
Dr. Fauci fell out of favor with the president some time ago, and now theres stories that Dr. Birx has irritated the inner circle and a sense that shes also losing her influence inside the building, he said.

(25,111 posts)1. Dr. Birx is already in shithole's pocket but . . .
Dr. Fauci will continue to talk . . . plus medical experts around the country will continue to talk for the good of the country. Yes for the "good of the country", something the WH has NEVER embraced and apparently the republican party as well.

For no one can be smarter and more educated than he is it appears.
