除了給病毒改名之外,川總也不是沒幹別的事。如他老人家所說,美國有全世界最好的人才。整個防疫期,川總一直在嫻熟地展示他駕馭人才的能力。
比如控製和使用福奇博士。
這個福奇,自願的也罷,被動的也罷,總是被媒體套出跟總統意見相左的話來。於是有了4月12號這個推:
轉發原推底下明晃晃的一個“解雇福奇”的TAG。
當記者找川普核實的時候,川普說“I like him. He is terrific,”
記者問川總是不是沒看見那個字兒,川普說“I notice everything“,我啥都注意到了。那個隻是“somebody’s opinion.“ 有人是這麽個意見。
總統的態度模棱,沒有直接撕破臉,但川總的心腹左右, 包括他親兒子川小普是沒少批評鞭笞福奇。但當然,福奇是真沒法兒解雇。人家人氣高。
7月23號川總的推:
We did a great job on CoronaVirus, including the very early ban on China, Ventilator production, and Testing, which is by far the most, and best, in the World. We saved millions of U.S. lives.! Yet the Fake News refuses to acknowledge this in a positive way. But they do give Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is with us in all ways, a very high 72% Approval Rating. So, if he is in charge along with V.P. etc., an dwith us doing all of these really good things, why doesn't the Lamestream Media treat us as they should? Answer: Because they are Fake News!
邏輯簡單直接 -》 福奇是我的人,他被72%的人看好,所以我也應該被看好。
川總更喜歡的專家是女醫生流行病毒專家黛博拉,Dr. Deborah Birx。但是當黛博拉不聽招呼,說了川總不愛聽的話後,川總也不會不敲打她:此人可悲啊!
8月3號川總的推:
So Crazy Nancy Pelosi said horrible things about Dr. Deborah Brix, going after her because she was too positive on the very good job we are doing on combatting the China Virus, including Vaccines & Therapeutics. In order to counter Nancy, Deborah took the bait & hit us. Pathetic!
現在全世界都對病毒疫苗望眼欲穿。川總希望並宣稱,疫苗有很快就會出現。專家們不太同意,比如美國疾控中心的Robert Redfield就說了,這疫苗要投入使用,怎麽也得明年年中,甚至下半年了。專家哪有川總明白。隔天記者會,川總就說了,疫苗出現是“A vaccine may be available in a matter of weeks”也許就幾周的事情。
平心而論,美國這些專家們在防疫上做的並不好。川總要問責,找出錯處來,拍到明處,拿掉幾個職位,也不是不合理。但他老人家或者跟他們懟成一團,或者皮裏陽秋,又或者揩油沾光,就是沒能團結一致對抗病毒。
誰的責任更大呢?
