Donald Trump continued his hectic campaign program in Arizona on Monday, enraging his top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, declaring the country “out of the pandemic” and lashing out at CNN for its coronavirus coverage, calling to the “silly! ** ds” network.
The president called Dr. Fauci “a disaster” during a motivational call with his campaign staff earlier in the day, declaring, “People are tired of hearing Fauci and all these idiots. Every time he goes out to the television, there is always a bomb. But there is a bigger bomb if you shoot it. But Fauci is a disaster. “
He continued the attack at twin rallies in Prescott and Tucson, unsubstantiated claiming that 500,000 Americans would have died had he listened to his respected director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases (he has presided over 220,000 deaths and counting, however) and even warning his crowd from MAGA that a Joe Biden administration would “listen to Fauci,” apparently a negative.

Candidates’ microphones will be mutable in Thursday’s debate
The upcoming presidential debate will see organizers mute Trump and Biden’s microphones to allow each candidate two minutes of uninterrupted time per segment.
The Presidential Debate Commission announced the rule changes for the second and last debate to avoid repeating the chaotic scenes of the first. Trump received strong criticism from political observers and moderator Chris Wallace last time in Ohio for repeatedly interrupting his opponent.
After the changes were announced, the president’s campaign pledged to attend the debate “regardless of last minute changes to the bias commission’s rules in their last attempt to give their favorite candidate an advantage.”
Graeme Massie has more on this.

Fauci dismisses Trump’s abuse: ‘It’s like in The Godfather: Nothing personal, strictly business’
Let’s go back to the unjustly maligned doctor for a second.
Fauci faced the president’s comments (apparently issued in retaliation for his objection to being quoted out of context in a campaign video and saying he was not surprised that Trump fell ill after ignoring social distancing guidelines) during an interview with KNX1070 radio station from Southern California yesterday. and he answered like this:
“I would rather not comment on that and stick with what we are really trying to do and what we are trying to do is protect the health, welfare, and safety of the predominantly American people, and ultimately the world.
“We’re seeing an increase in cases, higher than ever. Many, many states that had been doing reasonably well are now showing rallies, that’s what we should be focusing on.”
He added that he doesn’t want to create a “me versus the president” mentality, calling it useless.
“[Addressing the virus is] the only thing that really matters to me. Those other things, it’s like in The Godfather: Nothing personal, strictly commercial as far as I’m concerned. I just want to do my job and take care of the people of this country. “
Among those who rallied to support him was Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren …
Here’s Matt Mathers on Fauci’s gruesome control of media appearances at a time when the American public needs the latest insider advice available.

Republican Senator Suggests Democrats Win Senate As Trump Looks On
Yesterday joined Trump on the podium by Martha McSally, heiress to the late John McCain’s Arizona site, who adopted the interesting strategy of openly entertaining the possibility of her losing her seat.
“And you know another option is Joe Biden and my opponent Mark Kelly, who would be Chuck Schumer’s 51st vote to push his radical agenda, to fill the courts, open up the borders, pass green tax increases for the bad deal, take away our Second Amendment, you know that and Arizona will not allow that to happen, ”he told his crowd.

President Calls CNN ‘Idiots’ Over Coronavirus Coverage
Among his many deplorable remarks about Arizona, Trump complaining that CNN had spent too much airtime on a pandemic that has killed more than 1 million people worldwide, a quarter of whom were Americans he swore to protect. , actually took the cookie.
What should they report on instead? His totally untrue Obamagate and Hunter Biden lies? His dubious Nobel Peace Prize nomination?

Trump called Dr. Fauci a ‘disaster’ and says the country ‘is over the pandemic’
Donald Trump continued his hectic campaign program in Arizona on Monday, stating he was “angry,” enraged at his top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and saying the country has had enough of hearing about the coronavirus and is “in pandemic”. outside”.
The president had called Dr. Fauci “a disaster” during a motivational call with his campaign staff earlier in the day, declaring, “People are tired of listening to Fauci and all these idiots. Every time he goes out to the television, there is always a bomb. But there is a bigger bomb if you shoot it. But Fauci is a disaster. “

His intimidation against the affable and cool scientist, who has held his post since the Ronald Reagan administration, continued unabated on Twitter: Trump even posted competing videos of himself pitching a pitch to compare favorably with Fauci’s admittedly disastrous pitch, as if that mattered one iota or was somehow an indicator of smart leadership in a global crisis.
