Gone viral on Twitter so not so exclusive anymore. And if one was like trying to say something under the radar of the boss, one might chose a less mass market media vehicle than CNN?

Nate Silver obviously has this on his mind:

Trump can still win. But on the other hand, if you're deriving a model from history, it implicitly presumes some baseline level of competence from a presidental campaign that may not be compatible with, say, getting into a public spat with Dr. Fauci 3 weeks out from the election.

Why not say what you really think right on CNN TV, Dr. Fauci? DONE!

Dr. Fauci says Pres. Trump resuming in-person rallies is “asking for trouble” and “now is... a worse time to do that because when you look at what’s going on in the United States it’s really very troublesome. A number of states, right now, are having increase in test positivity” pic.twitter.com/cXPSXIg4aS

Donald Trump is running TV ads taking Dr. Fauci out of context and without his permission.

NEW: I spoke to Fauci about the Trump campaign:

"By doing this against my will, they are in effect harassing me. Since campaign ads are about getting votes, their harassment of me might have the opposite effect of turning some voters off."https://t.co/gRPxncmYN4
