President Trump said Dr. Anthony Fauci has made ‘bad calls’ but he is a ‘nice guy.’ Trump called Fauci a ‘disaster’ earlier in the day

LAS VEGAS/WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump called coronavirus expert Anthony Fauci a “disaster” on Monday, airing his frustration with the scientist during a call meant to reassure campaign staff he has a path to victory on Nov. 3 despite trailing in opinion polls.

“Fauci is a disaster. If I listened to him, we’d have 500,000 deaths,” Trump said during the call, which the campaign allowed reporters to join. “If more Americans paid attention to his advice, we’d have fewer cases of COVID-19, and it would be safer to go back to school and back to work and out to eat,” Alexander said.

“We have momentum at the exact time that we want momentum,” campaign manager Bill Stepien said on the call.
