“I think he’s a wonderful guy,” says President Trump about Anthony Fauci, insisting he would not fire the top U.S. infectious diseases expert
At a contentious briefing with reporters, Trump lashed out at media coverage that has focused on gaps in the U.S. government’s response after initial warnings about the pandemic disease which has now spread throughout the United States.
The president also invited Fauci to the stage in the opening minutes of the briefing to make clear that Trump had followed his recommendations on putting mitigation efforts into place across the country. Trump said he and Fauci had been on the same page “from the beginning” and declared he liked the respected doctor. “I think he’s a wonderful guy,” Trump said, while adding that not everyone was happy with the health expert.“VERY COMPLICATED”
“The president listened to the recommendation,” Fauci said. “The first and only time that I went in and said: ‘We should do mitigation strongly,’ the response was, ‘Yes, we’ll do it.’”
