Was I the only person that read the tweet differently?
On Sunday, Pres. Trump quote-tweeted a post from Trump supporter DeAnna Lorraine who criticized a Sunday interview Dr. Fauci did with CNN in which the health official discussed the federal response to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Her tweet used the hashtag #FireFauci. The media, including Fox News, though they had a story of dissension. To some, Trump’s tweet may be the green light some prominent conservatives have been seeking to unload on Fauci, but here’s the deal.

Just last week, Pres. Trump said he wasn’t going to say anything bad about the doctors on his team because he respects them.
Sorry Fake News, it’s all on tape. I banned China long before people spoke up. Thank you @OANN https://t.co/d40JQkUZg5

“This media chatter is ridiculous – President Trump is not firing Dr. Fauci. The President’s tweet clearly exposed media attempts to maliciously push a falsehood about his China decision in an attempt to rewrite history.
It was Democrats and the media who ignored Coronavirus choosing to focus on impeachment instead, and when they finally did comment on the virus it was to attack President Trump for taking the bold decisive action to save American lives by cutting off travel from China and from Europe.
Dr. Fauci has been and remains a trusted advisor to President Trump.” — White House spokesman Hogan Gidley

Fauci has advised six presidents and held high government office since 1984, but Trump supporters who don’t like him have demonized his entire participation with this pandemic.
I have said before, and I’ll repeat it. I trust Trump, and if he’s good with Fauci, then I am good, but if things swing another way, then I am with him there too.
