Well, it’s actually Fauci’s shutdown.
Trump gets credit/blame for listening to his advisers. Call it the ‘Fauci Shutdown’ and it wouldn’t be inaccurate. Trump is only doing what a president should do in this instance—listen to his advisers. Especially in this instance where [they claimed] millions of lives were at stake.
Actually shutting down, that goes on the governors. They decide whether or not to follow Trump/Fauci’s recommendations and shutdown their state.
The real question is why some parties are so hot to blame Trump for all of this and everything.
Maybe because it’s an election year?
Fauci does not have the power to shut anything down. He can advice, but trump is responsible for the shutdown... AND THE UNDERMINING OF THE SHUTDOWN!!! If trump had taken one side or another, he would have a chance of being right, but he has taken all sides at once, so has zero chance of being right.
