As Trump tries to separate himself from Navarros attack on Fauci, a WH source tells us that POTUS himself approved it:
Not only was he authorized by Trump he was encouraged.

a reporter with a major newspaper.
the WH is claiming Navarro went behind trump's back with his comments. Trouble is, if someone in the trump administration does that, it infuriates trump, often to the point of the person being fired.
The fact that trump did not even have a mild reaction was very telling

Because he's loved, honest, hardworking, smart, funny, and knows what he's talking about. He's also not scared of trump, and will make the fool sorry he acted up like he has. Trump,will regret attacking him, and lose more voters.
