Trump hits Fauci as a 鈥榙isaster鈥
Print Edition
US President Donald Trump called infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci a 鈥渄isaster鈥 on Monday, airing his frustration with the scientist during a call meant to reassure campaign staff he has a path to presidential election victory on November 3, despite trailing in opinion polls.
Trump and Fauci have been at odds over how best to handle a pandemic that has killed more than 219,000 people in the United States and weakened the Republican president鈥檚 case for re-election.
Fauci, 79, who has served under Republican and Democratic presidents and is one of the most admired scientists in the US, has urged COVID-19 continue to be taken seriously. Trump has suggested the worst has passed.
鈥淔auci is a disaster. If I listened to him, we鈥檇 have 500,000 deaths,鈥 Trump said.
Fauci has openly complained about being included, out of context, in a Trump campaign advertisement. He said in a CBS鈥 鈥60 Minutes鈥 interview on Sunday he was not surprised Trump contracted the virus.
Trump, speaking from his signature hotel in Las Vegas ahead of two rallies in Arizona, said Fauci bombed during TV interviews but that it would be 鈥渁 bigger bomb if you fire him.鈥
