Also Fauci had been in his position for decades and anyone could assume he knew what he was dong, and was the wise expert he claimed to be. How would Trump have known what a lying scumbag Fauci was? Would all the naysayers around here have just kicked him out instantly? When Trump took office, pre-Covid, did anyone know anything about Fauci? Trump booted James Comey out and look at the blowback he got for that one act.

A president is forced into granting a certain amount of trust to those veteran officials around him so the processes of government can proceed uninterrupted. If he instantly trusted no one, he would have been paralyzed to take any action.

You are making some great points in your comments that happen to us all everyday if we think about it.

Friends and even family members we trust to do the right thing, sometimes don’t.

The cheating spouse, the embezzling business partner etc.

Armchair quarterbacking is always easier after the fact.

And remember, our 50 billion in fraud fines, [I.e. frauds that kill!] [with no jail time] big pharma industrial complex has the biggest lobbeying money supply! Messing with that money machine can and will get you prosacuted or killed, or out voted!
