It appears President Donald Trump has met his match in Dr. Anthony Fauci.
He has long thrived on a rivalry-based, no-holds-barred approach to politics. But as the White House now attempts to walk back from the very attacks they perpetrated against Fauci, it stands as a tacit acknowledgement that they overplayed their hand in going after a highly-respected scientist polls show Americans trust far more than the president.
President Trump and Fauci spoke by phone Wednesday, a White House official confirmed, in what was the latest sign that the White House is looking to move beyond the narrative pitting the president against the nation's top infectious disease expert. It would appear to be the first time the two men have spoken in many weeks. Fauci said recently that it had been more than two months since he'd briefed the president.
An administration official told ABC: "The President characterized the call as very good and friendly as the President and Dr. Fauci are working toward the same goal."
Months into a battle against the novel coronavirus, Trump has struggled to find his political footing in externalizing blame for the global pandemic, which he often refers to as the invisible enemy.

I didn't write the headline but I believe Fauci outmatches Trump.

(15,391 posts)To know that any sign of conciliation from Trump is BS, and he's trying to put Fauci off-guard. Trump doesn't make up. He holds grudges.
