"On his last day in office, President Donald Trump issued commendations to a number people for their contributions to Operation Warp Speed, a White House effort to distribute 300 million doses of a viable COVID-19 vaccine by January 2021, which by Jan. 19 had not been met.
A few names on the list of commendations stood out, particularly Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx, both of whom were key members of the White House coronavirus task force in its early days, before having their public-facing roles diminished when the task force ceased providing regular briefings."
Ya that doesn’t instill confidence at all. I’m really sad about his covid crap. He did so many good things up until that point. Then it’s like….wait. Where did Trump go and what is happening. But, in saying that… we can never forget that we don’t even know the half of the evil demons he was fighting daily in front of us and behind the scenes. I think we would be appalled if we knew what really went on. Just my thought.
My very big concern is that it seems like Trump will do pretty much whatever you want if you flatter him. There are many examples of this and it's probably what Fauci, Pence, and others did behind the scenes.
Thank goodness the Dems were too stupid to realize this and instead decided to portray him as the new Hitler. In doing so they guaranteed Trump would oppose them on just about everything.
Regardless of what actually happened then, anybody that thinks he is going to be that easily manipulated now is in for a shock. After what happened to him the first 4 years, let's see what happens now. He is going to be out for revenge. Flattery will be a tell and he knows it.
A LOT of people trusted Fauci and he was very convincing to the public. Trump was taking info from his advisors, wrongly so but then again where else was he going to go for "facts", he was not staffed with honest aides.
Fine. But once it was obvious Fauci was a Big Pharma scammer, fighting hydroxycloroquine and other solutions that Trump mentioned... why give Fauci a Commendation?
Reminds me of Trump also praising the Clintons as 'fine (or good?) people' after the election... even toasted Hillary at a big photo op.
Well stated BFM. Trump didn't need to destroy Fauci, saying nothing would have been sufficient. But instead he felt compelled to praise and reward him (and Birx) long after it was clear their leadership was disastrous. Why? There is no comprehensible reason for doing so other than he agreed with it. In rewarding Fauci he extended the garden gnome's influence by giving him credibility.
The response to this entirely unforced error is that he got bad advice. Trump has a brain, he is supposed to listen to the advice of others, evaluate it, and then decide what is best. That's what executives do, not blindly follow what they are told by "bad advisors". These excuses defend his bad judgement by acting as though Trump is a child that can't think for himself.
I'll probably support Trump in the primary particularly after this latest indictment by the deep state. But he needs to learn and do things differently. You guys defending his awful judgement on these indefensible actions pretty much ensure he wont.
President Trump said he would ‘hire all the best people’ he also stated that he would ‘drain the swamp”. Had he actually done those things, we might be in a different situation now.
Ron DeSantis points out that Trump gave Fauci (and Birx) a Presidential Commendation on his last day as president.

Agree. He was (and is) way too susceptible to adulation. It clouds his judgement and his enemies understood this and played him over and over.
Regardless of what actually happened then, anybody that thinks he is going to be that easily manipulated now is in for a shock. After what happened to him the first 4 years, let's see what happens now. He is going to be out for revenge. Flattery will be a tell and he knows it.
I wonder about that too. What has he been threatened with and by whom?

Well said, good points.

My doctors at the VA still love Fauci.
It seems a large majority of Gov workers love each other and the grift.
They certainly are rewarded for voting Democrat and RINO. All their agencies get expanded.
The laziest people I ever met were the federal workers in the DC area.
Not at all surprising 😕
Isn’t this just like Trump? He was actually commending himself. This comment does not mean that I prefer Biden.
BOOM. You may be the first to properly explain this Trump behavior.
😡
Ugh 🤮
Just yet another off camera politician moment of OOPS shyt...Really! No shyt? Again? Dang it.
