Trump Suggests He May Fire Dr. Fauci After Election
---------------------------------------------------

At a rally in Florida Sunday, Trump suggested he could fire top
infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci after the election.

Trump supporters: "Fire Fauci! Fire Fauci! Fire Fauci! Fire Fauci! Fire
Fauci! Fire Fauci! Fire Fauci! Fire Fauci! Fire Fauci! Fire Fauci!"

President Donald Trump: "Don't tell anybody, but let me wait 'til a
little bit after the election."

This comes after The Washington Post reported Fauci said the pandemic
would only get worse in the U.S. and that Joe Biden's campaign "is
taking [the pandemic] seriously from a public health perspective," while
Trump is prioritizing "reopening the country."
