ANTHONY FAUCI/CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “I have a very good relationship with Dr. Fauci… And he’s got this high approval rating, so why don’t I have a high approval rating with respect — and the administration, with respect to the virus?…
So it sort of is curious: A man works for us — with us, very closely, Dr. Fauci, and Dr. Birx also highly thought of. And yet, they’re highly thought of, but nobody likes me. It can only be my personality. That’s all.”
