Watch Dr Fauci saying he’ll resign if Trump gets re-elected
What’s the video about?
In an interview, the director of the Research Centre of Allergy and Infectious Diseases revealed that if the former president is re-elected in 2024, he will likely resign. “Would you have confidence in Trump’s ability to deal with a pandemic if he were to return to the White House as President and COVID was a threat or there was some other public health emergency? Would you like to continue working at your current position?” Acosta questioned Fauci. Fauci responded, “Well, no to the second question. If you look at the history of the administration’s response, I think you can say, at best, it wasn’t optimal,” Fauci said. “History will speak for itself about that.”
Why doesn’t Fauci get along with Trump?
Fauci’s dislike for Trump has been well-documented, most notably when he suspected the former president of “poisoning the well” on vaccinations. He had previously questioned the Trump administration’s vaccine rollout efficiency and publicly questioned Trump’s ability to keep his promise to protect all Americans during the coronavirus pandemic.
Last month, Fauci continued on that theme, saying that while maintaining his integrity was difficult, he seemed to have no choice but to correct Trump during White House 2020 coronavirus news conferences if the president was spreading “misinformation.” “The divisiveness during the Trump administration” made Fauci’s job difficult, he said, adding, “it was no secret that I had to do something which is not pleasant and not comfortable, and I didn’t want to do it. I had to be out in public correcting the president’s and administration’s misrepresentations.” Since 1984, Fauci, 82, has led the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases.
What more has Fauci said about Trump?
In 2021, Dr Fauci was named Chief Medical Advisor during the Biden administration. When asked about Trump’s ability to deal with the pandemic, Dr Fauci stated that the administration’s response in the past has been mediocre at best. Fauci went on to say that, in this case, he also believes the truth will speak for itself. When asked about his interactions with Trump, the medical adviser described them as “a little strange.”
He also stated that he does not enjoy being in a position to contradict the president. Trump’s representatives have yet to make a statement on the situation. Trump repeatedly questioned and dismissed Fauci’s pandemic advice throughout the outbreak. On COVID-19, Fauci accused Trump of harassing him and misleading the public by removing his statements from context.
Fauci was a major pandemic adviser during the Biden administration. He even expressed an interest in collaborating with the incoming president in January 2021, whom he described as “liberating.” He claimed that under Trump’s leadership, he is able to speak out about what he knows, as well as the evidence and science that supports his claims.
