Peter Navarro on White House strategy for ‘phase 4 stimulus package’
Story continues below advertisement
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro tore into Dr. Anthony Fauci in a stunning op-ed on Wednesday, saying the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director, who has been a leading voice on the Coronavirus Task Force, has been “wrong about everything.”
“Dr. Anthony Fauci has a good bedside manner with the public, but he has been wrong about everything I have interacted with him on,” Navarro wrote in a blistering op-ed for USA Today.
Navarro began by saying that Fauci “fought against” Trump’s “courageous decision” in late January to suspend flights from China as the novel coronavirus began to spread, arguing that that decision “might well have saved hundreds of thousands of American lives.”
He continued: “When I warned in late January in a memo of a possibly deadly pandemic, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases was telling our news media not to worry.”
Further, he wrote that in February, “Fauci was telling the public the China virus was low risk.” Navarro went on to complain Fauci was “flip-flopping on the use of masks.”
He dinged Fauci for downplaying falling mortality rates, amid the debate over whether businesses should be allowed to reopen or stay shuttered. Navarro added: “So when you ask me whether I listen to Dr. Fauci’s advice my answer is: only with skepticism and caution.”
Navarro’s comments come as tensions have been bubbling between the White House and Fauci. Officials have reportedly been concerned about the number of times Fauci has “been wrong on things,” according to a report last week.

A senior administration official, though, told Fox News that Navarro’s op-ed slamming Fauci was “definitely not approved by the White House.”
Another White House official told Fox News that Navarro is “going rogue.”
Alyssa Farah, White House director of strategic communications, said on Twitter that the piece “didn’t go through normal White House clearance processes and is the opinion of Peter alone.”
She said President Trump “values the expertise of the medical professionals advising his Administration.”
Trump, on his part, has said Fauci is “a nice man, but he’s made a lot of mistakes,” and has criticized him for his back-and-forth guidance over masks.
“I disagree with him. You know, Dr. Fauci said ‘don’t wear masks,’ and now he says ‘wear them.’ And you know, he’s said numerous things,” Trump said in an interview last week with Greta Van Susteren. “‘Don’t close off China. Don’t ban China.’ And I did it anyway.”
He added: “I sort of didn’t listen to my experts and I banned China.”
The president last week also said he had a “very good relationship” with Fauci, while saying: “I don’t always agree with him.”
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, during an interview on “Fox & Friends” on Monday, described Fauci as representing “one viewpoint within the administration.”
“The point of the task force is to be a whole of government look at what is best for this country,” she said. “That includes Dr. Fauci’s opinion…Ultimately, those conclusions are taken to the president.”
McEnany added: “Dr. Fauci is one member of a team, but rest-assured his viewpoint is represented and the information gets to the president through the task force.”

What took so long to come to an obvious conclusion??
Pence chose him, and his people did a lousy job researching his background and Brix. They are both freaking liberal scum inside and out, and that should have disqualified both of them, especially Fauchi. Now we know even more, and it just gets worse.
Gee, someone, on the inside, with the guts to stand up to a member of the unseen hand. Stay tuned for Navarro’s sudden and ‘unexpected’ resignation. Even though this information is nothing many people didn’t already know.
This was 100% done with permission. I am all for it too. It allows Trump to now answer questions about midget Hitler because the press will ask them after this piece came out.

Trump’s “task force” was a busload of monkeys. Why he as president refused to seek advice from real doctors outside of the beltway is bizarre…..I like the Donald but he owns this disaster because he refused to see the obvious, which is that the entire DC machinery is out to destroy him by any means necessary.
I KNOW Trump will admittedly tell us THE BUCK STOPS HERE, but how do you find CREDIBLE, WORTHY, AND GOOD PEOPLE when you are surrounded by FOOLS? I feel very badly for TRUMP, but I will still vote for him because of all this listed here:

No, Trump doesn’t “own” this disaster, he might have exacerbated America’s experience, but China, Xi Jinping and the Communist Party of China ‘own’ this pandemic. They are a walking disaster area that inflicted this pandemic on the world.

This is from a forum I am on:
A coworker and 2 of his friends went to sh!tcago last weekend for a wedding. They were getting ready to leave for home Sunday when they seen a sign for free Covid testing, so they stopped in before heading south. They signed up and waited in line for 2 hours before saying to hell with it and headed home. Today they all got notice that they tested positive for Covid and were to quarantine for 14 days even though they never even tested. Tells you a lot about what’s going on.
You can believe nothing of the china virus numbers. It is mostly fabricated to hurt trump, who actually responded faster than any democom would have.
Wait until November 3rd, when Trump is re-elected. I am taking stock out in popcorn. I AM GONNA BE RICH!

Savage warned Trump about Fauci months ago. Savage enlightened us as to Fauci’s actions and how it resulted in the cataclysmic burst of the HIV AIDS epidemic. Fauci did not want to offend the rights of the gay men and the places where they congregated by placing them under quarantine. His lack of action allowed the participants of unsafe sex in the bath houses to continue and planted the seeds for effects we are still seeing today. Fauci is a 40 year deep state bureaucrat welded to the agenda of the Democrat machine that wants Trump gone good of the country be damned.
100% correct. Midget Hitler needs to go retire. He is useless. Heck, just a few years back he was hoping for one more pandemic so he could work on it. He could careless about lives lost, he just wants to finally fix something because for the rest of his horrible career he has done nothing but draw a salary.
Here is a thought; What about the $3,500,000.00 Fauxci handed over to the CCP Wuhan lab? Would this action alone make Fauxci a CRIMINAL. The “research” of the CCPFlu was forbidden in America because of its virility.
Again, What about Fauxci and Brixs connection to the VACCINE MANUFACTURING company of ‘bill gates’? What about the “rumor” of the hundreds of children and people in Africa who DIED from this VACCINE manufacturing company????
Obama and Trudeau contributed to create it. Well, now WE got it…

I knew Fauci was more like a Dr. Mengele when I learned of NIH grant money supporting Gain of Function research on SARS-like bat Cononavirus at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV); he didn’t support the ban on Chinese travel to U.S.; didn’t speak up about what he knew was going on at the WIV BSL4 lab; and, he downplayed the success of Hydroxychloroquine and has been exceptionally quiet about other cheap therapeutics such as Dexamethasone and Budesonide. Fauci is a DEEP STATE operative who colluded with CCP to shut down Trump’s successful economy and he didn’t care how many people died. He wants people to die waiting for his patented drugs to rake in money for himself and NIH. Fauci is guilty of crimes against humanity. If you want to know what an unethical dirtbag Fauci was…BEFORE this current traitorous attack on America…just listen to any Dr. Judy Mikovits interview (they have been censored on youtube) but available elsewhere on podcasts, bitchute and banned.video. Don’t agree with everything she says about the current Covid19 pandemic but she was certainly a persecuted whistleblower at NIH years ago and Fauci is her nemesis. https://truepundit.com/payback-dr-judy-mikovits-comes-out-swinging-drops-new-bombs-on-dr-fauci-cdc-during-vicious-interview/

I’m surprised at Trump for not agreeing with him. Is it because he likes Fauci?
It’s because he will not let anyone see things differently from him and that has proved bad for him and we the people.

Fauci loves the camera and the spotlight. Sometimes listening to him I think of a crackpot espousing views such as our leaders are lizard people in human skin.
Fauci told us that masks are useless. It turned out that he wanted to save the masks for front line workers and not for the people. What a putz! Then he reversed himself. Tomorrow? Who knows what he will say. Better yet, what will he parrot from the China controlled WHO?
Navarro is right. He just didn’t do it in a smart way, and that may hurt Navarro more than Fauci. But I have the feeling that Fauci will be getting more of a secondary roll, if any roll at all,
Fauci will be on the late night circuit along with the usual MSM talking heads. Who knows, maybe he will get a seat or job at the WHO.
CNN sucks!

I’ve been calling the little shrimp a quack from the start. It’s been pretty obvious to me and everyone else that took a biology class in jr high school. What he was saying just didn’t add up. And then there’s his ties to Bill Gates, china and much more about the little quack that needs to be addressed.

They floated this out there so Trump could answer questions that the press would ask after the op-ed came out. Brilliant! Midget Hitler needs to go.

Mr. Navarro says the truth. Once more Trumps acumen and ability to seek out and find honest people to serve him and our country shows that he is a bad judge of character.
Navarro is completely correct about Fauxci and the rest of them.
The whole group of so-called advisors is anti-Trump and our Constitution.
Oh “Laddyboy” you said it all. All of those people are inter connected with each other and not a one is there for us “the people of this country. And it’s not a rumor and goes all the way back to the Polio virus.
TRUMP DELEGATES AND THAT IS WHAT LEADERS DO. Those whom Trump has delegated authority to, are not doing their research on Fauci, U.N. and other organizations’ people, SO that is not TOTALLY Trumps’ fault, although I am sure he has the mind of “THE BUCK STOPS HERE”. Trump will never say IT IS NOT MY FAULT, because he, among the very few, WILL take responsibility for his choice OF PEOPLE HE DELEGATES AUTHORITY TO and THIS IS WHY HE IS MOVING PEOPLE AROUND and rightfully so.
The reason you keep hearing about all these sordid people choosing the wrong, etc. is that THE MSM WANTS TRUMP TO LOOK BAD AND THIS IS WHY THEY ARE CONSTANTLY ATTACKING HIM. The MSM LOVED OBAMA, so we didn’t hear all the FOOLISH THINGS OBAMA DID UNTIL AFTER HE DID THEM AND IT WAS LEAKED OUT: remember BENGHAZI, FAST AND FURIOUS, etc.??????????
ALL THESE PEOPLE HATE TRUMP, so if you want to destroy someone, how would you? Exactly how they are doing it NOW. Problem is, IT AIN’T WORKING BECAUSE AMERICANS ACTUALLY SEE……..wait for it…….
RESULTS AND SUCCESSES BECAUSE OF WHAT TRUMP HAS DONE FOR THIS COUNTRY.
READ ABOUT THEM HERE: http://www.magapill.com
AND if you are a liberal, YOU WILL SCREAM.
If not, you will SMILE.
It does not matter what Trump does, liberals WILL NEVER ADMIT HE IS DOING ANYTHING GOOD.

Nope. Fauci has always been a Hillary lap dog, so is Dr. Birx! NEITHER of them should have been put on Trump’s WuFlu team!
