Donald Trump complained about the entertainment value of COVID-19 and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease expert at the White House, in a call with campaign staff on Monday.The president claimed that Americans are getting “tired of” hearing about the coronavirus, which has killed nearly 220,000 Americans to date — more than any other nation in the world.
Trump also dismissed Fauci’s coronavirus response as a “disaster,” though the president himself has spent several months downplaying the science and attempting to wish the virus away.“People are tired of COVID.
I have these huge rallies,” Trump said Monday. “People are saying whatever. Just leave us alone. They’re tired of it. People are tired of hearing Fauci and all these.
