Why, specifically, was Fauci a bad choice. He was the expert, the voice of reason, and until Trump started bashing him, all of America including MAGA was comforted to know he was as on top of things as he could be.

Maybe he was overshadowing fragile Trump? Maybe Fauci didn't hesitate to contradict Trump on important issues.

At one point Trump made the statement that "99% of Covid cases were totally harmless". Totally untrue. Someone had told Trump that the general mortality rate was 1% so he made the leap that everything else was no big deal.

So, backup your statement, why was Fauci a bad choice?
