Trump knocks Fauci: 'I inherited him'
Source: The Hil
President Trump on Monday questioned the value of Anthony Fauci to the White House coronavirus task force, saying in an interview with Fox News that he "inherited" the government's top infectious disease expert.
"I disagree with a lot of what he said," Trump told Laura Ingraham when asked if he would put Fauci "front and center" in the pandemic response if he could do it again.
"I get along with him, but every once in a while, he'll come up with one that I say, 'Where did that come from?'" Trump continued. "I inherited him. He was here. He was part of this huge piece of machine."
The president reiterated his claim that Fauci opposed his decision to restrict travel from China in January. Fauci indicated at the time he did not think it was a good idea, though he later said it had bought the U.S. time to fight the virus.

And that he does it without effort is the best part. Fauci just does it by being his natural self and doing what he would always do. But unlike Trump he is good at it.

(11,631 posts)Trump was trying to stick it to "GYNAH" to pander to his racist base just like the Muslim ban... it just worked out that he did ABSOLUTELY nothing else about covid for the next 6 months so that was all he had to talk about.

Fauci shouldn't be surprised. Sooner or later, Trump throws everyone under the bus. It's just a question of time.
