US President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Florida, suggested he will expel Covid-19 expert Dr Anthony Fauci if he is voted back to power.
Trump's row with the country's top disease expert continues while the country sees a surge in cases everyday since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in spring.
Speaking to his supporters Trump expressed frustration that the virus that has killed more than 230,000 Americans this year remains 'prominent in the news', which led to “Fire Fauci” chants from his supporters.
For the first time Trump has been this direct in suggesting that he would remove Fauci from his position.
Fauci, though has time and again said that the president has ignored his advice on containing the virus.
