Four months ahead of the election, Trump appears to have made the calculation that voters will ultimately choose one of those versions of events to believe, and that attacking the credibility of those painting a more dire picture will make voters more likely to believe his version and the “great job” Trump says he’s done on the pandemic.

"I cannot figure out in my wildest dreams why they would want to do that,” Fauci, the top U.S. infectious disease expert, toldon Wednesday after the White House distributed opposition research about him to reporters. “I think they realize now that that was not a prudent thing to do, because it’s only reflecting negatively on them.”

And two White House officials told NBC News that White House chief of staff Mark Meadows advised White House staff to stand down on attacks against Fauci, with one official saying Meadows “wasn’t happy” with Navarro. “I have a very good relationship with Dr. Fauci, and we are all in the same team,” Trump said. “We want to get rid of this mess that China sent us.”The campaign to undermine government elements that deviate from Trump’s optimistic message about coronavirus has extended to the CDC, which has come under attack from the White House and several other Trump administration agencies.

NEW AD: VP Pence sucks up up up.

Oh, wow! Zip up, please, NBC! You photobias is plainly showing!

Reports are CDC is counting probable cases as positives. If you are in favor of inaccurately high Covid counts, then you want the CDC to be counting cases. High Covid count, bad for Trump. Therefore NBC supports. Either way, when election comes, Covid ends.

That look on Trumps face was when he first learned Dr Anthony Fauci's middle name was Waterloo.

But 'pro-life.' Amirite?

Listen only to Fauci. The rest are snake oil salesmen and televangelists.

No shit. How many years getting your masters did it take to form this startling observation?

No no no. You are ALL culpable. Every major media outlet has contributed significantly to the misinformation that’s arguably spread worse than the virus. I haven’t (yet) gotten COVID19 , but I have been contaminated by misinformation

Can anyone answer... How many people died from regular. Flu? If one is positive w Covid and needs to be retested and 2nd time positive dies that count as TWO cases instead of just one?

Trump is no leader. He’s all about himself. He doesn’t really care about you, your health, safety and well-being. We’re on our own. Tuck Frump and everyone who has enabled and empowered him! Good riddance in November.

Analysis: Trump wants to silence one of the world's leading immunologists -- thus killing hundreds of thousands of Americans -- because he's a demented malignant narcissist. There, I fixed it for you.

It’s a total shame that trump continues with his ridiculous tirades instead of embrace those that are working hard and have done it for so long as DrFauci

Google fauchi flipFlipper Yeah!

Trump is skeered of everything.

REAL Presidents are Not AFRAID of REAL Scientists

ABC wwd POTUS In the US–COVID 19 is treated by insurance, many people don't have the money to do this and they die. In Russia-COVID 19 treat all people for free! According to the US this should not be the case, from the people need to pull the last veins?

really nbc.....

Donny boy you haven’t a clue .. realDonaldTrump

It's hard to sweep facts, science, and data under the rug when people are dying every day.

Muddled for who? Sounds like you're all falling over you're own feet not the other way around

Lower and lower Trump takes our nation's reputation and the dignity of the office of the presidency ...

This is all FACUIOS FAULT. He is a DEEP STATE INSIDER PLYNG TDS LIBERALS LIKE A fiddle.

This is by design, not incompetence. Republicans are clearly attempting to cause as much chaos and death in the run up to the elections in November, we're under attack, Americans in the HUNDREDS of thousands are dying, and we're losing.
