Trump has completely turned on Fauci.

DT tweeted Monday after his press call,"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!"

He also suggested Fauci ditch his Washing Nationals face-covering ... suggesting it wasn't up to snuff as far as protection goes, and again referring to what he calls"perhaps the worst pitch in the history of Baseball!"is taking the gloves off against his top COVID-19 specialist,, and throwing his expertise out the window ... this after the doc, arguably, went on the attack on"60 Minutes.

"People are tired of covid," the president said. "People are tired of hearing Fauci and all these idiots... Fauci's a nice guy, he's been here for 500 years...wonderful sage telling us..."POTUS had a press phone conference Monday, and let the insults fly against Fauci ... who he suggested was one of many"idiots" advising the White House and the public on the pandemic. He even said people were tired of hearing the guy ... plain and simple.

Reporters on the call said Trump called each of Dr. Fauci's media appearances a"bomb," but mused that firing him would cause more political fallout ... especially this close to the election. He also sarcastically referred to Fauci as a"wonderful sage" who's been around for"500 years."Trump clearly feels it's time for Fauci to go, as he added ..."People are tired of COVID ... People are tried of hearing Fauci and all these idiots.
