He’s working with us. We could’ve gotten other people. We could’ve gotten somebody else. It didn't have to be Dr. Fauci. He's working with our administration. And for the most part, we've done pretty much what he and others... recommended."

"And he’s got this high approval rating, so why don’t I have a high approval rating… with respect to the virus?" Trump wondered aloud.

........................................

"So it sort of is curious," Trump said. "A man works for us, with us, very closely. Dr. facui and Dr. Birx, also highly thought of. And yet they're highly thought of, but nobody likes me. It can only be my personality. That’s all.".....................

5. Oh so now he wants to cash in on Fauci's approval

And say "we followed what he recommend"....except you didn't Donnie, you didn't and you won't. All you care about it your reelection. Those 150k souls which were needlessly lost mean nothing to you and I hope they haunt you endlessly, in this life and whatever may come after.

12. Yes. Your personality is abhorrent and people despise you.

I'd love to be able to say this to his face.

[flibbitygiblets]

13. Yes, except for masks, hydroxychloroquine, rush to open, "China Virus", "Hoax", "Disinfectant",

and disagreeing with literally everything Fauci says, including the fact that the virus will "magically disappear", Trump and Fauci are almost indistinguishable.

Must be Trump's personality, no other possible explanation.

14. Reap what you sow...

Here are a few examples of sowing and reaping: 1. If you sow seeds of rage and anger , you will reap a harvest of war ! If you have ever thought that your house felt like a war zone, then stop to see who is planting seeds of anger (it may very well be you).

15. Oh dear. Time for lessons, I see. Listen, you perverted freak, it is your stupidity, your willful

ignorance, your unending arrogance, your utter lack of competence, your inability to even pretend to one iota of positive human emotion, your complete lack of connection to anything remotely resembling reality. . . .Shall I continue????

17. 'but nobody likes me'

Nobody likes you, everybody hates you
Go to the Rose Garden and feed worms

18. Fauci has a higher approval rating because while you're doing your best to get it wrong

he's doint his best to get it right -- in spite of you.

19. That's like something a little kid would say.

I little obnoxious kid who has no idea while he's unpopular so he gets even by breaking their toys and throwing rocks at dogs.

It is the world's fault.

20. Question of Age: Why don't nobody like Trump? I can't understand it...

[NNadir]

21. Um, it could be a function of the fact that Trump is an arrogant uneducated moron...

...and Dr. Fauci is a highly educated, caring and honest man.

Only a person with no education, no empathy, and no intellect would be unable to figure this out.

Even wondering about this is a failure of a cognitive test.
