I agree that Trump has surrounded himself with blatant swamp creatures throughout his presidency (e.g., DNI H.R. McMaster, CoS Reince Priebus, DoD Chairman Joint Chief of Staff General Milley, FBI Director Jim Comey, the entire DOJ leadership, SoS Rex Tillerson, CIA Director Gina Haspel, etc.). Yet Trump didn't fire some of them at all and others he didn't fire anywhere near quickly enough after their incompetence and/or bad intentions were ridiculously obvious to anyone who's paying attention. However, in the case of Dr. Fraudci, POTUS has publicly stated that he kept Fauci around to take that shithead's advice and do exactly the OPPOSITE (which happened numerous times) - since Trump obviously knew Fauci was Deep State and working against him (and the American public).
