    Trump is still denying the coronavirus infections and deaths. He says that the numbers are inflated.

    Trump tweets on January 3, 2021:


    "Something how Dr. Fauci is revered by the LameStream Media as such a great professional, having done, they say, such an incredible job, yet he works for me and the Trump Administration, and I am in no way given any credit for my work. Gee, could this just be more Fake News?"


    "The number of cases and deaths of the China Virus is far exaggerated in the United States because of @CDCgov’s ridiculous method of determination compared to other countries, many of whom report, purposely, very inaccurately and low. “When in doubt, call it Covid.” Fake News!"

    Remarks by Fauci.


    'There's no running away from the numbers:' Fauci laments surging COVID deaths as Trump claims 'fake news'

    excerpt:

    "To have 300,000 cases in a given day, and between two and 3,000 deaths a day is just terrible," Fauci told ABC's "This Week" Co-anchor Martha Raddatz Sunday. "There's no running away from the numbers, Martha. It's something that we absolutely got to grasp and get our arms around and turn that inflection down by very intensive adherence to the public health measures, uniformly, throughout the country, with no exception."

    Fauci's comments came minutes after President Donald Trump misleadingly claimed in a tweet that the numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of infected persons and deaths in the country are "exaggerated," despite coronavirus cases continuing to increase nationwide. Even as recent data fluctuates due to inconsistent reporting over the holidays, the U.S. this weekend topped 20 million COVID-19 cases and 350,000 deaths since the onset of the pandemic 10 months ago.

    "The deaths are real deaths," Fauci said, when asked by Raddatz for his response to the president's tweet. "All you need to do is go out into the trenches. Go to the hospitals and see what the health care workers are dealing with. They are under very stressful situations in many areas of the country. The hospital beds are stretched, people are running out of beds, running out of trained personnel who are exhausted."

    "That's real," he continued. "That's not fake. That's real."

    Fauci isn't employed by Trump.

    Trump would have difficulty firing Fauci because Fauci is a civil servant, not a political appointee.

    Trump could try to fire him by changing his job status to one of being a political appointee.

    Trump has been trying to create new category of federal workers who can be more easily fired.



    Can Trump 'Fire Fauci?' Not easily, but he could make it messy

    excerpt:

    "Trump’s only path to pushing Fauci out effectively might be an executive order he signed recently that pledges to jumble up some of the 2 million civilian government jobs to allow for more political appointments.

    That executive order, which doesn't take effect until January, promises to create a new category of federal employees that could be fired without cause and without the protections traditionally given to career employees who can appeal wrongful termination. The order would allow agency heads to recommend employees that work on policy to be put into this new category, called “Schedule F.”

    Stier and other experts warn the executive order would create a kind of "spoils" system, in which loyalists to a politician would be rewarded with government jobs they might not be qualified for.

    "It would turn our government into a creature of the president’s personal will, rather than the public’s interest," Stier said.

    Tim Stretton, a policy analyst at the government watchdog group Project On Government Oversight, agreed. He said he thinks the order could pave the way for Trump to fire Fauci or other federal employees who have criticized his policies.

    "I just think doing this right now is very arbitrary and given the president's comments just last night when you match it up to two weeks after this (executive order) came out it seems really suspect," Stretton told ABC News."

    A few days before the 2020 election at a rally in Florida, Trump insinuated to his followers that he would fire Fauci after the election.

    dude, the truth of the matter is that Biden will be president come Jan 20th. You keep coming up with false narratives.
    Trump pulled the wool over your eyes, and now Rafael Cruz, Ron Johnson, and Josh Hawley are doing the same.

    Australian fat asses are even more stupid than the Canadian born Cubans. I love people from Argentina like Ernesto Che Guevara, and Bolivia like Simon Bolivar. Moreover, who I love is not any of your Australian business. You aren't even American and seem to support the cocksuckers who are backing an effort to overthrow the government here.

    It might, but the outcome will not be in their favor.

    Actually, the death toll from the Trump Virus might be an underestimate by 33%.

    Trump Touts Misleading and Flawed Excess Mortality Statistic
    By Jessica McDonald
    Posted on August 24, 2020 | Updated on August 27, 2020

    Trump Touts Misleading and Flawed Excess Mortality Statistic - FactCheck.org

    excerpt:

    "The recurring statistic is part of a larger effort to cast the U.S.’s experience with the coronavirus in a better light than that of its European counterparts. But, as we have written, Trump has erred on these types of comparisons before, falsely claiming that the U.S. per capita death rate is lower than “most” of Western Europe and leaving the misleading impression that America is doing better than other countries experiencing recent upticks in cases.
    Uncertain Statistic

    It’s unclear how the president arrived at his 40% higher excess mortality figure. We asked the White House repeatedly for a source for the statistic and for more information on how it was being calculated, such as how Europe was being defined, but we did not receive a reply.

    So we dug into available estimates of excess mortality and also asked experts at the University of Oxford, Janine Aron and John Muellbauer, who had written a primer on excess mortality for the website Our World in Data.

    The data we found do not support the president’s claim — at least not in any fair comparison of excess mortality. And an independent analysis triggered by our query revealed that when the most comparable part of the U.S. is stacked up against the hardest-hit countries in Europe, America fares worse — not better — on measures of excess mortality."
