Trump says Fauci 'made a lot of mistakes'

Source: MSN

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday publicly criticized Dr. Anthony Fauci, saying that one of the nation’s top infectious disease experts "has made a lot of mistakes."

In an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Trump was asked what he makes of hotspots like Texas and Florida and of some of Fauci’s latest comments, though Hannity didn't specify which remarks he was referring to.

"Dr. Fauci is a nice man, but he's made a lot of mistakes," Trump said.

"A lot of them said don't wear a mask, don't wear a mask," the president added. "Now they are saying wear a mask. A lot of mistakes were made, a lot of mistakes."

With Trump repeatedly contradicting and casting doubt on health care professionals is it no wonder that his supporters are continuing to refuse to engage in any efforts to control the spread of COVID-19:

Trump is so totally wrong inside and out. Not "inaccurate" wrong, but sick and twisted and unnatural. And 90% of Republicans support him loyally. They walk among us like secret monsters.

I made avocado toast, which I love.

Then I dropped it on the floor (of course, avocado side down).
My partner (who has a WEAK stomach) yelled, "That looks like green puke! Yuck!"

I agreed, then shoveled the toast and avocado back together, pulled out a few cat hairs, and ate it happily.

I have that strong a stomach, and Trump still makes me sick!

Trump pontificating forth with those vapid words is his idea of himself sounding smart and philosophical. I'm surprised he didn't decide to throw in a pipe and tweed jacket with elbow patches in an attempt to appear more erudite.

It's sad enough that the man is all style and no substance; he has no style either.

There, I said it. He's a monster. Holding rallies while discouraging masks to soothe his ego? Now he's blaming someone else. What else is new.

Fauci and everyone else knew if people went out and started buying up masks the DRASTIC shortages for the frontline people would get worse.

FEMA HHS DoD CDC etc - there was no communication let alone coordination at all. None. In fact one of them used the excuse that they were just sitting there waiting for another one to contact them. A couple lack of leadership. Not Pence, he ain’t the top, it’s all on Trump. Dumbass took Jared’s advise that this was just bad PR.

His demonizing of facts and people of true knowledge is a dangerous abuse of power, but what else is new.

He is a criminal and all in his admin are criminals. They all deserve jail.
