  Trump didn’t hire Dr. Fauci.

  He was Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from November 2, 1984 to December 31, 2022.

    Fauci was director of NIAID. Trump picked him to lead the White House COVID Task Force. Then Trump threw him under a bus.

    Here’s the official text from TrumpWhitehouse.gov that Trump released on Jan 29 2020 announcing that he hired Fauci for his Corona Virus Task Force.

      Fauci was not “hired” by Trump. That is a taskforce made up of a bunch of people from various government entities. They didn’t take a new job. Fauci already worked for the NIH, a government branch. He was not hired by Trump.

    ??? Trump hired Fauci to lead the Whitehouse Corona Virus Task Force. Then Trump threw Fauci under the bus when his base didn’t like what Fauci said.

      Fauci was already working for the NIH long before trump was president. Trump didn’t hire him. Fauci was chosen as a member of the Covid task force by trump, correct - along with 11 other government department employees.

        The only reason Fauci was on TV and setting policy on COVID was because Trump hired him to the Trump task force. Trump could have removed him from the Task force. Instead Trump acted like he had no power over Fauci.

        That Fauci had been previously working for the government is irrelevant. Trump hired Fauci to the Trump COVID Task Force. Everything Fauci did was under Trump’s control.
