US President Donald Trump and Dr Anthony Fauci co-operated during the early days of the pandemic.

“He allowed the communications department of the White House to send out a list to all of the media, all of the networks, all of the cables, all of the print press, about all of the mistakes I’ve made, which was absolute nonsense because there were no mistakes.”But when it became clear that lockdown would hamper his re-election campaign, Mr Trump pushed back on Dr Fauci’s measures.

But what was most difficult for Dr Fauci was coming to terms with the fact that Mr Trump’s actions resulted in avoidable coronavirus cases, he said.

He is right. Trump only cares about himself.
But was he wearing 26 masks as he stated this bullshit?
Trump was very slack in the beginning - his schedule from February last year
Nope it’s Fauci fault
Flip flop Fauci? He’ll change his mind next week.
Well that's a lie. T'rump MADE bad things happen, he didn't just ALLOW it.
Fauci has flip-flopped on every aspect of the pandemic, often repeatedly
Appears an accurate assessment of the ex-president.
Ohhh dear still irrelevant news and also what a twi...how come media doesn’t get these two together live on air and see what they say to each others face!!!
Fay I is a liar...he has been involved in this BS plandemic from the very beginning.
Well he kinda did.
Ain’t it grand that we don’t the twice impeached excuse for a president in our faces every day. 😀😂😷
Fauci ruined America. This interview is proof. If only Fauci followed Murphy’s lead in Australia, the US would be Covid free as we are today. He opposed closing borders and that’s what ruined the US
That was bleedingly obvious for nearly a year.
We don’t need fauci to know that...
Fauci enjoys performing cock-and-ball torture on teenage boys.
Trump killed almost 500,000 Americans, what a failure. Worst President in history
