On Sunday, President Donald Trump told his Florida rally supporters that he would “listen to their advice” to fire Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, if he is re-elected for a second term.
Fauci has had a history of disagreeing with Trump’s various comments regarding the pandemic and the coronavirus death toll.
In his rally at Opa-locka, Florida, Trump promised, “We’re going to have a safe vaccine that ends the pandemic.”
Trump has actively visited key battleground states days before the election. Despite the rising number of deaths related to COVID-19, he repeated his complaints about discussing the pandemic too often and asserted that his opponents would not care about the pandemic if it were not for the election.
