The dispute over the hesitant behavior of Donald Trump (73) in the fight against Corona is reaching a critical point. In public, national crown expert Anthony Fauci (79) dared to criticize the President of the United States. In a CNN interview on Sunday, the longtime director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases said: “If we had closed everything from the beginning, we would now have a different image. But there was a lot of opposition to such a movement back then.
Despite health warnings, Trump had not decided on any measure for a long time because he did not want to harm the economy.
Fauci went on to say, almost with resignation: “We only focus on health problems. Then we give a recommendation. This recommendation is often accepted, sometimes not. But this is how it is. We are where we are now ».
Trump insulted
Trump does not like those criticisms. In any case, these statements come at a particularly inconvenient time when the President of the United States wants to loosen measures and start the economy again.
Trump will soon fire Fauci as experts, though the White House denies it. The signs are clear. Trump applauded a tweet in which former Republican congressional candidate DeAnna Lorraine called for Fauci to be removed. Lorraine writes that on February 29, Fauci did not classify Corona as a major danger and signed the tweet with “Time to #FireFauci”.
Trump thanked him in a retweet and wrote about Fauci’s accusations: “Sorry, false news, everything is recorded. I banned travel to China long before people talked about it. “
In almost the same increase in tweets, Trump accuses the “New York Times” of lying. She writes that Trump warned on February 21 that the pandemic would infect a third of Americans and It could claim 586,000 deaths.
The death toll in the United States is now more than 22,000, higher than in all other countries. In New York alone there will soon be 10,000 deaths.
Trump’s approval disappears
Due to the rapidly increasing numbers, Trump’s approval is decreasing. One Quinnipiac University’s survey of 2,077 people found Fauci’s response to the crisis to be 78 percent and 7 percent opposite, while Trump’s actions were only supported by 46 percent and rejected by 51 percent.
So many dead, so popular with Fauci: For Trump, the crown crisis is increasingly becoming a crisis of its own.
