Trump vs. His Own Experts

Week after week, Trump has been openly lying to the cameras, telling people that his administration is responding to the coronavirus pandemic in the best way possible. In addition, Trump has suggested dangerous and stupid things like using bleach, bright lights, or unproven drug treatments that he says can cure the virus.

Dr. Fauci, the head of Trump’s Coronavirus Task Force, has been forced to contradict and make up for these stupid statements. Now Trump is planning to decommission the Coronavirus Task Force itself. Trump seems to think if he doesn’t like the truth, he can just yell – “You’re Fired!”
