President Donald Trump called Dr. Anthony Fauci "a little bit of an alarmist" on Sunday as the coronavirus pandemic worsens and the nation's top infectious disease expert urges elected officials to implement more health safety measures.

In an interview on "Fox News Sunday," Trump also defended his relationship with Fauci, which has been in the spotlight in recent days after a series of comments by the President and moves by the White House raised questions about Fauci's standing with the administration amid the crisis.

"Dr. Fauci's made some mistakes, but I have a very good -- I spoke to him yesterday at length -- I have a very good relationship with Dr. Fauci," Trump said. "He's a little bit of an alarmist -- that's OK."

Trump in the interview listed several "mistakes" he said Fauci has made in recent months, including his original stance on the wearing of masks.

1. Fauci's an alarmist like the rest of the civilized world is an alarmist.

This is a global pandemic. A few countries have gotten this under control, and many others are working towards that. When there is active community spread, it is not under control and numbers will continue to increase, overwhelming our hospitals and our communities.

His actions and lack of actions are absolutely criminal from a humanitarian standpoint and will be looked at that and history as such. But as long as the majority senate and certain news outlets back him, this lunacy will continue.

As a healthcare worker in an emergency department, all I can say is Trump is a fucker. Pardon my indiscretion...
