US President Donald J. Trump has repeatedly undermined Dr. Anthony Fauci's assessments and guidance about the coronavirus pandemic. Now, Business Insider reports Fauci admitted Tuesday that his experience serving in the Trump administration has been 'somewhat awkward.' It's not a happy day when you have to get up in front of national TV and contradict something that the President of the United States says. I take no pleasure in that at all. Dr. Anthony Fauci Interview, Harvard Business Review Fauci has been the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984. He's worked with every US president since Ronald Reagan. But Trump has repeatedly contradicted Fauci's assessment of the pandemic and pushed back against necessary public-health measures.
Florida, aka The Sunshine State, is known for its sunny, sandy beaches, low taxes, and colorful characters. And as the Trump family has become personam non grata among the Manhattan hoi-polloi, it makes sense that President Donald Trump intends to settle there. Now, Business Insider reports even more members of the Trump clan may be making the state their home after President Donald Trump leaves office. The once-again impeached President and first lady Melania Trump plan to take up residence at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. Donald Trump, Jr. and his girlfriend, GOP operative Kimberly Guilfoyle, are house-hunting in Jupiter, Florida--home to Trump Jr.'s ex-wife and children. And Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner have dropped $32 million on a bare lot on a private island near Miami, dubbed 'Billionaire's Bunker.'
President Donald Trump and his family appear to be making preparations to vacate the White House, despite his insistence he secretly won the election. Business Insider reports Trump has asked for renovations to be made to his Mar-a-Lago residence as the first family considers moving to Florida. The White House has not made any official announcement about Trump's post-presidency plans. First Lady Melania Trump is reportedly also looking for schools around the Palm Beach area and neighboring Broward County for son Barron, 14. Meanwhile, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner seem to be steering away from New York City, where they were once prominent Manhattan socialites.
As the Trump administration begins to unravel, the political lives of golden power couple Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump in Washington are all but over. Now the question is, what has their time in the political spotlight has meant for their brand, particularly in their old Manhattan stomping grounds? According to CNN, while the couple remains wealthy, their financial obligations could factor into their post-White House decision making. Also, President Donald Trump insulted New York so often that the movers and shakers of the Manhattan scene are unlikely to forgive and forget. Sources say Ivanka Trump is considering her own potential political future. That may explain the more nuanced positions she has taken, in contrast to her brothers' strident remarks on immigration and alleged voter fraud.
Fed Chair Jay Powell warned on Tuesday that the US economy would suffer if another stimulus package isn't passed, which remains stalled in Congress. House Democrats passed a $2.2 trillion stimulus plan earlier this month, but Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) called the amount 'outlandish.' Too little support would lead to a weak recovery, creating unnecessary hardship for households and businesses.

Businesses are reopening. We are learning to deal with the virus in a targeted, safe, prevented way. White House Economic Adviser Larry Kudlow Interview, CNN's 'State of the Union'
