Bards of War had an explanation that really resonated with me on that point.

FWIW, it went like this: If Trump had not appointed Fauci, or worse, had fired him, then the MSM would have hailed Fauci with all sorts of "expertise" to intentionally paint Trump as even more stupid, and Fauci's "rat factor" would never have been exposed to anyone other than the regular tinfoil hat folks.
A lot of people see that Fauci has personal financial motives that are a huge conflict of interest now; if Trump had played it differently then most would think Fauci was a respectable genius—the same way that 20 years ago most thought Bill Gates was a respectable genius.
