"I didnt see Fauci at the briefing, locked him in the washroom? ......"
He said that Fauci was currently in another room with the task force.
You may not like this President but he is the perfect President for these times. He knows how to attack problems. He is not shy to pull in the best people from around the country to address the country's needs. And he's got them all working towards the same goal.
You may not like Pence but he has been really impressive in his role in my opinion. Hell this is a role that in most other Presidencies would have been filled by the head of the CDC (Center For Disease Control). This should be their time to shine. Where are the reps from that agency? The first two days of his briefings there was some woman there representing the CDC. Not the head. Thought that peculiar when all the other agencies involved were represented by their leaders. Then about Day 3 of the briefings the head of the CDC appeared and spat out some vacuous bs. A couple of days later he was gone and hasn't been seen in about a week now. Point is that Trump saw right through that bloated charade of an agency and quickly pushed them to the background. The people he's brought onto that stage to fight this virus are sharp and focused. The President runs a no bs ship.
Heck, he even had AG Barr up there tonight. They are going after hoarders (those holding large supplies of PPE and not releasing them to fight this national emergency) and fraudsters and price gougers. The guy has this shit covered. From zero to covered in a few short weeks. Heck, he's getting factories to readapt to make PPE and ventilators as they are in very short supply in a swamped demand world market. The private sector is setting up drive through testing in their big box parking lots.
And the most impressive team member is the woman he brought on to coordinate all the pertinent world data, Dr Deborah Birx. What a sharp, engaged woman.
We will manage this corona problem in the shortest timeframe possible with Trump as the top coordinator. He is smart, project oriented, tireless, and relentless. He is even working really well with Democrat governors. Trump cares about the American people not the politics. And he is the perfect President for these crazy times.
Just my opinion.
