Trump vs. Fauci:
[ Who is Fauci? ::: Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for three decades. ]
-----------------------------------
The president says, ‘He was wrong’; the doctor responds, ‘Everybody thinks I’m doing more than an outstanding job’.
-----------------------------------------
‘Well, I don’t know that he’s a leaker,’ President Trump says of Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. ‘He’s a little bit of an alarmist.’
---------------------------------
The president suggested that the doctor mishandled the crisis: “Dr. Fauci at the beginning said, ‘This will pass. Don’t worry about it. This will pass.’ He was wrong.” Trump also said the doctor said, “ ‘Don’t ban China. Don’t ban China.’ I did. He then admitted that I was right.”
-------------------------------
Speaking to Wallace on the Sunday program, Trump also said, “I don’t agree with the statement that if everybody [wears] a mask everything disappears.”
------------------------------
------------------------------
Fauci has taken a more defiant tone of late, telling InStyle magazine, “With all due modesty, I think I’m pretty effective. I certainly am energetic. And I think everybody thinks I’m doing more than an outstanding job.” He said he evolved with the situation: “I don’t regret anything I said then because in the context of the time in which I said it, it was correct.”

President Trump ::: "Fire him!"
