Mixed Messages
It is no secret that President Trump and Anthony Fauci, the infectious disease expert, don't see eye-to-eye. Trump will make an optimistic statement and Fauci will roll it back. The rumor is that Trump is frustrated with Fauci and would like to get rid of him. That would eliminate the mixed messages coming from the White House, but it also would subvert facts in political spin, something American's don't want now. Citizens crave straight talk from the President. They aren't getting it. Rather, it is coming from Fauci whose credibility is higher than Trump's. As long as the two of them share a podium, there will be tension. Trump would be better off letting Fauci take command of communications, but that is not the President's way of working. So they remain at loggerheads and the nation is worse off for it.
