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.

[Proud liberal 80]

3. It's funny you say that

My second grader is being home schooled and I overheard her teacher teaching the kids about treating others the way you want to be treated and what were soles ways....everything was the opposite of how trump acts and what he says, but I was thinking we are teaching our kids this but the POTUS doesn’t even live up to this rule

5. Yeah

The dirtbag should be praising him, but he’s so wildly insecure, stupid and weak that he says ridiculous jackass stuff.

[NanceGreggs]

6. Well, we all know ...

American people trust and respect Fauci.

13. Trump also 'inherited' a pandemic plan.

Trump also 'inherited' a pandemic plan.

[SergeStorms]

21. He has a history....

of squandering inheritances, doesn't he. But according to his adoring daughter, Ivanka, he just "unconventional".

[packman]

14. It is REALLY going to piss Trump off when-

Fauci is named Man of the Year by Time magazine

[Delphinus]

29. It sure is.

May you be right - that Fauci gets that honor. Certainly deserves it.

[Botany]

16. Good God in Butter.

Yes, Donny having one of the best scientists in the world who could have helped you
is a ral burden.

[JI7]

17. Fauci makes Trump feel like the loser he is . He exposes Trump for the coward, scared, ignorant

piece of shit that he is.

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.

[muriel_volestrangler]

18. Trump accused Fauci of colluding with Democrats to let people die to make Trump look bad

He doesn't just 'knock' him, he libels him, in an extremely paranoid fashion.

19. 45 inherited a lot of great people, like the Pandemic Emergency Response Team he destroyed

years before we desperately needed it.

[Botany]

20. Trump cut a Program, Predict which was on the ground in Wuhan, China looking for things like C-19 ..

24. this evil motherfucker has no understanding at all of science and expertise

this is so incredibly nauseating and maddening. Fauci is a hero and Trump acts like he's a corrupt member of the deep state

[Galraedia]

25. Trump's travel ban did nothing. People infected came mostly from Europe.

Trump's travel ban was racial pandering rather than an actual solution.

[jcgoldie]

26. Exactly

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.

[EndlessWire]

27. Oh, he's just

preparing to dump Fauci in favor of Atlas, who is willing to endorse Trump's "herd immunity" theory of pandemic management.

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

[raccoon]

28. It seems to me, he turns on nearly everyone, sooner or later. Nt

[Maeve]

30. And like everything else, you wasted him

You don't appreciate what you haven't earned and you've earned nothing; you've only cheated your way thru life.
