Trump retweets post calling for his coronavirus expert Dr Anthony Fauci to be fired

President Trump is known for his ridiculous tweets.

But in news that seems bizarre even for him, Trump has retweeted a post that called for the ousting of his health adviser Dr Anthony Fauci after the disease specialist appeared on CNN (a network Trump famously dislikes).

Because nothing says Easter Sunday like calling for your own advisers to be fired, right?

Earlier that day, Fauci appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” and he acknowledged the country “could’ve saved lives” if we had started mitigation efforts earlier. He told host Jake Tapper:
