Donald Trump *
attacks top immunologist and government
advisor Anthony Fauci
violently.
The
US President describes the medic as a "catastrophe"
and claims that his advice could have resulted in many deaths.
The
criticism of Fauci
does not leave Republican party friends of Donald Trump indifferent.
Washington DC - Once in full election campaign mode *,
Donald Trump is
currently not
afraid of
any conflict.
He not only argues violently with presidential competitor Joe Biden *, but also with
politicians from his own camp
.
He
violently insulted
Republican Senator Ben Sasse
at an event in Nevada
.
A dispute has been simmering for a long time in the relationship between
Donald Trump and the US top immunologist Anthony Fauci
(see also video above).
The millionaire is now so hard on the doctor that
even Republicans don't
want to
leave
it that way.
Coronavirus: Trump complains violently about top immunologist Fauci - "The guy is a disaster"
“
The guy is a disaster,
” Donald Trump
reportedly grumbled
in a
phone call about Fauci,
according to the New York Times and CNN
, “
when he appears on television, there's always a bomb, but there's a bigger bomb when you fire him.
“Anthony Fauci is
director of the National Institute for Infectious Diseases
and a member of the
Coronavirus Working Group in the White House
.
Not only does the expert seem to be a thorn in his side,
Trump
even blames him for the
devastating extent of the corona pandemic in the USA
through the flower
.
“People are fed up
with hearing Fauci and these idiots, all these idiots who made mistakes,
” he speculates angrily, “
if I'd listened to Fauci, we'd have 500,000 dead.
"
Corona virus in USA: Trump attack against Fauci goes too far for Republicans too
Trump's party colleague
and chairman of the health committee,
Lamar Alexander
, did not let these violent words stand.
“
Dr Fauci is one of the most respected officials in this country
.
He has served under six presidents, "he praises the health experts," if more Americans had followed his advice,
we would now have fewer Covid-19 cases
and it would be safer to go back to school and work or to eat. "
Dr.
Fauci is one of our country's most distinguished public servants.
He has served 6 presidents, starting with Ronald Reagan.
If more Americans paid attention to his advice, we'd have fewer cases of COVID-19, & it would be safer to go back to school & back to work & out to eat.

USA: Donald Trump does not deny attack on Anthony Fauci - "Everything I ask of Tony ..."
Donald Trump
does not contradict the published statements.
But the president also has no more
friendly words to
say
to
Fauci
, such as during an election campaign appearance in Arizona *
.
At the time, he stated: “Sometimes he says things that are a little off and unfortunately rock, but he's a nice guy that I like.
I don't want to hurt him, he's been around for about 350 years. "
Dr Tony Fauci says we don't allow him to do television, and yet I saw him last night on @ 60Minutes, and he seems to get more airtime than anybody since the late, great, Bob Hope.
All I ask of Tony is that he make better decisions.
He said “no masks & let China in”.
So, bad poor!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 19, 2020
What already sounded a bit disrespectful to many observers has now lost friendship.
Today Donald Trump tweeted, "
All I ask of Tony is that he make better decisions.
He said: 'No masks and let's let China in'.
“A few hours after this posting,
Trump
threw
his mask into the crowd as a gift before a speech in Nevada *.
