If you have to explain the joke, itā€™s not funny. Calling it sophisticated when nobody laughs is just rationalization.

Itā€™s fun explaining things to people. A lot of fun.

Oh by the way this whole discussion was sparked by someone not having the ability to exercise some self control. So everybody else decided - screw self control! letā€™s feed itā€¦

Sweet Jesus, buy a vowel already will ya? This stupid argument was hashed out 4 years ago. That you canā€™t seem to grasp the answer to this after all this time, is rather unnerving.

Under current law and regulation, Trump would need to show that Fauci either was incompetent or was guilty of misconduct. And Trump couldnā€™t fire Fauci directly. He would need to order his Health and Human Services secretary and the director of the National Institutes of Health to do it.

Under federal law, Trump doesnā€™t have the power to directly fire Fauci, a career civil servant, and remove him from government. And while Trump could try ordering his political appointees to dismiss the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Fauci could appeal ā€“ a time-consuming process.

The rift has fueled speculation about whether Trump would fire Fauci, or if he even has the authority to do so.

The technical answer is no, according to CNN. https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/longevity/507297-can-trump-fire-fauci-expert-weighs-in/
