4 years ago today, Dr. Fauci contradicted Trump's claim that Covid would magically go away before the fall. After that, Fauci was sidelined from public briefings & barred from speaking to press.

During the greatest national crisis of our time, all Trump cared about was his ego

@rbreich

All he has ever cared about IS his ego. Always.

@rbreich
It bugs the hell out of me that NO ONE ever asked #TheOrangeMenace while he was in office to defend his criticism of #Obama's handling of the #SwineFlu #H1N1 outbreak while pointing out just how much worse of a job he did (mis)handling #Covid.

@rbreich has that ever changed?
Not just for #Trump but almost all people in #Politricks...

We're ruled by #democidal & #genocidal #Wankers who are just too cowardly to openly murder their own voters directly to please their donors.

Because we see a bunch or reality-denying folks basically ruining everything with their rulership...

And that is the problem!

@rbreich And almost worse, he convinced his mindless drones that he was right and Fauci was wrong, somehow, despite all the dying and the refrigerated morgue trucks and so on.
@rbreich And Dr. Fauci was routinely trashed by the Republicans for his efforts to curb COVID.

@rbreich

Republicans let over 1.2 million Americans die of covid for partisan gain.

@rbreich This wasn’t even the first time this happened. The previous generation may remember Dr Fauci being ignored by Reagan during the HIV/AIDS pandemic in the 1980s. He’s a bigger man than I for not plotting to kill the President (both of them) in retaliation for all the people they let die.

@rbreich

And Trump’s minions still hate Fauci for daring to contradict Their Lord.

Meanwhile His Dishonor requires reams of paper to be printed, saying nice things about him, with pictures of himself looking all Presidenty to be sacrificed to him. He needs constant soothing.

@rbreich
To be fair, Trump also wanted to murder as many people in NYC and Blue states as he could. It wasn't all just ego, there was also the excitement of bioterrorism and the sadistic pleasure of seeing his enemies die from covid.
@rbreich ….. and 1 million fatalities later…
@rbreich
I was very disappointed at the result of his covid encounter.

@rbreich Yet another person pushing the bullshit "covid is over" narrative. Biden is doing the same thing Trump did right now. That has never ended. Don't talk like it ever has.

Lying about reality because it is politically inconvenient is never okay, no matter how hip his administration makes it. Not even when the letter by his name is a D instead of an R. All that does is feed denial, & promoting that has real world consequences that will continue to get worse.

#CovidIsNotOver

@rbreich And then a million people died.
@rbreich Trump & Republicans kill and they do not care.
@rbreich dump is a serial killer but no one talks about that.
