No disgruntled people allowed.

Trump said Dr Rick Bright, the vaccine expert who has said he was demoted for refusing to promote hydroxychloroquine as a potential coronavirus treatment, is a “disgruntled guy.”

“I never met him, I know nothing about him, but he’s a disgruntled guy,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office.

If he never met him how can he know he’s a disgruntled guy?

“I never met him, I know nothing about him, but he’s a disgruntled guy,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office. “And I don’t think disgruntled people should be working for a certain administration.”

But everyone who works for Trump is disgruntled. They’re all disgruntled at Democrats, uppity women, uppity workers, uppity brown people, uppity journalists, uppity medical experts, uppity governors, uppity rivers and streams, uppity clean air…the list goes on longer than we have life spans to recite it in.

These are not peace-loving or genial or friendly people. These are angry racists and misogynists who want to be dominant. Disgruntlement is their Weltanschauung.

Bright filed a whistleblower complaint with the office of special counsel yesterday after he was removed from his post as director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority.

…

He said he was moved to a smaller role after he “made clear that BARDA would only invest the billions of dollars allocated by Congress to address the COVID-19 pandemic in safe and scientifically vetted solutions and it would not succumb to the pressure of politics or cronyism.”

And Trump is disgruntled about it.
