The tension between the two men -- who are no longer speaking, CNN reported last week -- has grown publicly as they have responded to one another through interviews and statements. But recent moves by the White House to publicly diminish the nation's top infectious disease expert amounts to a significant escalation as it seeks to divert attention from the government's failure to contain the coronavirus and instead push Trump's call to reopen the country.
Another person familiar has said the rare in-person meetings between Trump and Fauci are not awkward and don't involve raised voices, but Trump has complained about Fauci privately. Sources say part of that irritation is over the "good press" Fauci has received. Trump's irritation with Fauci has also, at times, been encouraged by Peter Navarro, Trump's trade adviser who has repeatedly blamed Fauci for doubting the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine.
In an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday, Adm. Brett Giroir, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, said there is "open discourse" within the team. "We have great faith in the capacity of all of our scientists and doctors on the coronavirus taskforce to impart necessary public health information. People like Admiral Giroir, Surgeon General Adams and others are carrying these messages very effectively," Caputo said in the statement, although he did not directly answer questions about Fauci.
"I think we are in a good place. I disagree with him," Trump said in an interview Tuesday when questioned about Fauci's assertion the U.S. is still "knee-deep in the first wave" of the pandemic. "We need people more than ever to speak truth to power, to be able to level with the American people about what we're facing with this pandemic, how to get it under control, how to protect ourselves and our families," Schiff continued. "That's what Dr. Fauci has been trying to do and by sidelining him the President is once again interfering with an effective response to this pandemic.

Game show hosts stick together....or maybe it’s just senile old men sticking together.
Radical media, radical Drs & scientists who have studied for decades just so they could fuck up Trumps presidency. The 1st Escort & Trump better hope they don't get Cancer as the Drs will lie to them. Yet they love the science/Drs of boob transplants & internet shit like Twitter
What a joke Incredible The WORST PRESIDENT EVER believes a game host with no education over Dr Fauci who is well respected all across the planet Worst Ever PRESIDENT EVER Desperate time calls for stupid moves polls are down Ads are a joke WORST PRESIDENT EVER 53 fired
Chuck Woolery ? Expert?
What amazes me is the time POTUS has to tweet and retweet ! Yo Donny boy wake up and smell the coffee there’s a pandemic going on
HEY CTV DID YOU HEAR ABOUT JOE BIDEN SEXUAL ASSAULT CASE AND DID YOU HEAR ABOUT JOE BIDEN TELLING BLACKS IF YOU VOTE TRUMP THEN YOU AINT BLACK
Should anyone trust a LiarInChief who is projecting his true self? Read MaryTrumpBook !
Yes they are. He is right on the money. Our media has been taken over by stupid, lazy kids, who know absolutely nothing about everything.
Everyone is lying except the people that died
That's why Americians are BLACK LISTED EVERYWHERE! No COUNTRY in the world is ALLOWING AMERICIANS to travel there! EPIC FAIL AND THIS IS ALL DUMB DUMB TRUMP'S FAULT.
Omg. This is like some reverse Survivor reality show. What is the opposite of “outwit, outlast, outplay?”
Another genius. This misinformation never ends.
We can’t deny that if Hilary Clinton was president and had similar coronavirus numbers, this would be spun totally differently. The blame likely shifted to the individual states.
“When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.” Trump
“The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!” Trump
What is the matter with that man
A game show host! If this were not so sad it would be comical. Makes you wonder if realDonaldTrump even thinks before he tweets. trump is America's No1 COVIDIOT and tweets such as this solidify that he is no president, he is no leader. Dumbass comes to mind. CNN MAGADumpTrump
Everyone but chuck woolery ?
Explain all the cases, people in hospitals, and deaths, then.
If everyone is not lying why hasn't it wiped out the homeless population? They habe poor immune systems. Takes a special kind of stupid to believe the media.
Bozo the Clown has completely butchered handling the virus. The US has the worst numbers in the world. Instead of acting 'better late than never' this evil human will play with lives and double-down that the virus is harmless.
Start sending out your resume Dr.Fauci . Moving on 😷
How many times did you retweet baseless claims that wearing a mask was not helpful ? How about restricting flights from hotspots was not helpful. Or controlling the borders was xenophobic? How many lives could have been saved if you did your jobs?
We all know that 90% of mainstream media is owned by liberal Globalists. Once they get their way the media execs, the journalists and your own children will also be forced to live under the Tyranny you are constantly pushing. You are naive to think you will be spared.
Twitter, please! I just can do this today!!!!
Can you smell that? The desperation from Trump and the WH to try to separate the administration from the abysmal numbers of COVID is palpable. And just what background/experience does Woolery have in the medical field to make ANY call on ANYTHING?
He's right, you just push the anti trump narrative up the hill, one day it has to come down. I've seen public opinion in Canada of Trump change a lot over 4 years, people are coming around, and we have crybabies like Global and CTV to thank, your anti Trump BS is nauseating.
Ok, yes, everyone is lying..... 🤪🤪 ...poor Dr. Fauci. Can you imagine a DOCTOR trying to guide the States based on SCIENCE and having to try to do his work around nitwits? notmycircusnotmymonkies
I sense an incoming ratio.
'The fake death data from the CDC, coupled with wild guesstimates from experts,'
I would have gone with “word salads” and “contradictions”.
They pretty much are... big time.
Wow !
