If he's not reined in, then he may succeed in making Trump a one-term president.

Here's why.

One of the most important things an incumbent needs to secure reelection is a strong economy, but due to the radical lockdown and months-long national quarantine Fauci championed in March to mitigate the pandemic, the U.S. economy was dealt a devastating blow, resulting in 46 million Americans losing their jobs. So, now, instead of the president galloping into the November election leading one of the hottest economies on record, he's trudging to the ballot box hoping the economy will recover quickly enough.

Strike 1.

In hindsight, advisers like Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, should've recommended a partial lockdown and a quarantine only for our nation's most vulnerable citizens -- the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions -- not the entire country. But that moderate and reasonable approach didn't happen. Instead, the president adopted the questionable advice of Fauci and others who favored a national lockdown -- which many voters consider Draconian -- kneecapping the economy and our collective rights and now jeopardizing the president's reelection chances.

Strike 2.

Fauci has also sowed skepticism about kids going back to school in the fall, radically influencing, if not forever altering, our entire U.S. education system. Since March, when schools were closed nationwide, approximately 57 million American children were forced into isolation at home, cut off from friends, socialization, sports and normal activities. Scores have been denied a quality education and have suffered detrimental effects to their mental and physical health -- unnecessarily -- as it's well-known that children are a low-risk group for getting the coronavirus and dying from it. For reference, in Massachusetts, a hotspot for coronavirus, not a single child ages 0-19 has died from coronavirus according to the mass.gov website.
