I think he will. Fauci tells the truth.
WH says “media chatter” about Trump firing Fauci is “ridiculous.” Reality check: Trump fueled that “chatter” when he retweeted somebody saying “fire Fauci.”

Firing Dr. Fauci would be like firing Capt. Sullenberger over midtown Manhattan. There is no flower more delicate in all the world than the male ego and the most delicate flower of all belongs to Trump. Many Americans will suffer and die because he can’t listen to experts.

My suspicion is that Trump will fire Fauci when he thinks the epidemic is receding and believes he has no more need for him. Then he will proceed to badmouth and scapegoat him. The foundation has already been laid for this.

Tonight Trump has retweeted a post calling for Dr. Fauci to be fired and denied NYT reporting that his Health and Human Services Secretary “directly warned” him of the possibility of a pandemic in late January.

Also, I will say this: Trump can fire Fauci and the GOP in the House and Senate won't do a damn thing.

He could slit Fauci's throat on live TV and his defenders would shrug it off. https://t.co/4zgMjy6yCj
