The president made the comments during a call with his campaign staff on Monday morning that reporters got on.
“People are saying whatever. Just leave us alone. They’re tired of it. People are tired of hearing Fauci and all these idiots…” Trump said, according to Politico.
Despite slamming the coronavirus expert, the president went on to say “Fauci is a nice guy” before saying “he’s been here for 500 years.” During the call, Trump also insisted that if he had listened to Fauci’s advice there would be “700,000, 800,000 deaths.” America has suffered at least 220,000 deaths from the coronavirus. Trump also called Fauci a “disaster,” who is a “bomb” when he goes on TV, but a “bigger bomb if you fire him.” “If there’s a reporter on, you can have it just the way I said it. I couldn’t care less,” the president said following the heated comments. Shortly after the phone call, Trump took to Twitter to complain about the doctor. “Dr.Tony Fauci says we don’t allow him to do television, and yet I saw him last night on @60Minutes, and he seems to get more airtime than anybody since the late, great, Bob Hope. All I ask of Tony is that he make better decisions. He said “no masks & let China in”. Also, Bad arm! “…P.S. Tony should stop wearing the Washington Nationals’ Mask for two reasons. Number one, it is not up to the high standards that he should be exposing. Number two, it keeps reminding me that Tony threw out perhaps the worst first pitch in the history of Baseball!” The president and the doctor have appeared to be feuding in recent weeks since Trump was diagnosed with Covid. On Saturday, Fauci revealed that he was “absolutely not surprised” by the diagnosis. Fauci said “oh my goodness,” when he saw the lack of masks and social distancing during a “superspreader event” at the White House. At least ten people in Trump’s inner circle became infected with coronavirus following the event, which was held to officially nominate his Supreme Court pick Judge Amy Coney Barrett. The doctor called the event “a completely precarious situation” and said he was “worried” that the president would become sick after seeing the event. “Nothing good can come out of that,” Fauci said. “That’s got to be a problem — and then sure enough it turned out to be a super spreader event.” Now, 34 people in Trump’s orbit are known to have become infected since the event, according to a leaked FEMA tally. Nick Note: I find it simply amazing that the media forgets to report that Bidens vice president pick and her staff over 10 people are/were in isolation after they tested positive. It seems they also had a super spreader event on one of those flying infection incubator tubes/ And supposedely they ALL masked up and isolated like Biden in his basement. GET THIS MESSAGE TO TRUMP: Trump is realling blowing it big time here. His arguments are I am the leader of the free world. I camot hide in the beasement. I have to take the risk and meet and greet a lot of people. I took the risk for my counrty. He needs to point out their is a western world surge in infections. And masking up and social isolation is not workling. He needs to tell the people that mass shut downs obviously are not working unless your a totalarization state. He should say i have learned from my near death experience for my country that the drug cocktail i took works. And i want to make it avialiable to each and every Amercain who tests positive and gets symptoms for Free. He is right Americans are tired of lock downs and are willing to take the risk. This would be a different proposition if people had working masks. But i learned a long time ago i cannot change the world. I am now of the opinion that the risk to reward of mass lockdowns does not work. In view of the fact that nothing short of Marshall law will get Americans to isolate and the N95 toilet paper mask does not work we have to have a different strategy. And Biden’s insistence that the solution is everyone mask up tells me we are in even bigger trouble if he is elected. The truth is we are we are in BIG trouble anyway it goes. The world is being subjected to a Bio-weapon sneak attack from Chine. . Simple solutions to complex problems only serves to make matters worse. So if your a boomer you need to save yourself. And mask up with a reusable serious mask and my third generation filter. I have sent out to each and every serious subscriber this state of the art virus filter for free., ou can do more. Like disinfect and Vitamin up and isolate hence the Salvavida line of products is here to save the day. We have solved the mask and filter problem. Soon i hope to have the Salvavida CoronaVit a COMPLETE multivitamin that follows the latest research in coronavirus supplements that may or may not work. But something is betTer then nothing.. i BELIEVE IN MY HUMBLE OPINION THEY WORK!
