It appears President Donald Trump has met his match in Dr. Anthony Fauci.
He has long thrived on a rivalry-based, no-holds-barred approach to politics. But as the White House now attempts to walk back from the very attacks they perpetrated against Fauci, it stands as a tacit acknowledgement that they overplayed their hand in going after a highly-respected scientist polls show Americans trust far more than the president.
Trump and Fauci spoke by phone Wednesday, a White House official confirmed, in what was the latest sign that the White House is looking to move beyond the narrative pitting the president against the nation's top infectious disease expert. It would appear to be the first time the two men have spoken in many weeks. Fauci said recently that it had been more than two months since he'd briefed the president.

Italians I know are not so even tempered as Dr. Fauci may seem. As with Dr. Fauci, my last name ends in a vowel. I do not just get mad. I can bet even with words just as lethal.
