Fauci has huge amounts of gravitas. Trump will never have it. Even Trump can sense that firing Fauci will be an unrecoverable own-goal.

I’d opine otherwise. Donald Trump doesn’t seem to think ( or more precisely, has never acted like) there really is anything like an “unrecoverable “ mistake: that no matter WHAT he does, or no matter WHAT the negative consequences,
1. He himself, or the WH org will simply deny, gaslight or blame-shift (probably all at once);
2. He/they will rely on RW media enablers to bolster point 1
3. He/they will just move on to the next disaster confident that 40% of the electorate will cheeringly back him up….
