    That’s literally his job worked and had worked for decades.

    You know what didn’t exist for decades and just began with Trump? Elon’s DOGE, which is how he’s running the entire country.

    Fauci can’t drain your bank account. Elon has all the data he needs to do it.

      They have a point, tho. Doge was announced before the election, Trump told everyone he would appoint Musk. Presidents appoint thousands of unelected people to various positions at the start of an administration. When you’re voting for a President, part of it is trusting their judgement as to who they’ll pick. I don’t think it should be a surprise to anyone that Trump would appoint a bunch of batshit crazy people to various positions, it’s what happened last time.

      Maybe Fauci isn’t the best example of that tho, as he’s been an apolitical career official for decades, as you said.
