Fauci said no.

[trixare4kids]

Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, defended President Donald Trump on Wednesday after audio recordings revealed that the president wanted to downplay the severity of the coronavirus early in the pandemic.

Speaking with Fox News’ John Roberts, Fauci denied that he ever heard the president “distort” the threat of the coronavirus and maintained that Trump’s presentations to the public were largely in line with discussions he’d had with medical experts. When asked whether he ever felt Trump was downplaying the severity of the coronavirus, Fauci said no.

“I didn’t get any sense that he was distorting anything,” Fauci said. “In my discussions with him, they were always straightforward about the concerns that we had. We related that to him. When he would go out, I’d hear him discussing the same sort of things.”

Fauci’s comments come after Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward revealed that Trump admitted to him in February that he thought the coronavirus situation was far more dangerous than he publicly presented. The Post published recordings of Woodward and Trump’s conversations, which included the president saying that he wanted “to play it down” in order to avoid panic.

You have to understand 1 thing and 1 thing only.

Fauci is only the leftist golden boy when he is trashing trump.
as soon as he agree's with trump he is the evil commie russian plant meant to take over the US.

Just like Comey.

The left was howling for comey to be fired after he investigated clinton and should have charged her.
only when he was against trump did they start howling the other direction.

They have 0 standards, they have 0 ground to stand on as it is always shifting from one faux outrage to another.

The first post from a leftist on here will be to trash fauci as now trumps puppet.

when not several months ago they were hailing him as the voice of the people and teller of truths.

that is simply how dishonest these people are.

Precisely why DJT deserves another term in office.

When someone says there is no need to panic any longer over the virus they are in the enemy. The whole point for the Hysteria was to crush the economy.

For the most part I agree with Fauci's assessment of the President Trump. I believe Fauci is trying to walk the fine line of saying what the research tells him and support the President. What Fauci doesn't address some of the off the wall comments Trump has made about CV19.
We all know the ones:
- “We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine
-Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away
- “When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero. That’s a pretty good job we’ve done."

I don’t know what Fauci heard. All I know is what I heard. He said one thing to Woodward and another thing to the American people

Fauci said what needed to be said regarding the Woodward piece. His place isn't to criticize the president's awkward delivery.

Just another nothing burger fueling liberal hate boners. The buffoonery is entertaining tho.

I can agree with that. I have listen to President Trump throughout the pandemic. imo, he did not tell the truth and downplayed the pandemic.

People can make their own mind up on what Trump did.

While our president enacted a Wuhan travel ban, and later incoming air travel from Europe, Democrats were still claiming his initiative was xenophobic and racist. Maybe we should refer a few DP nuh-ers and revisionists to those earlier threads?

Nobody said you need to agree with me. Trump never downplayed the virus but he did do his best to lead the country away from hysteria and chaos.
That's what good leaders do.

They are tripping over themselves trying to get to home base. Just like they did while trying to get Hillary to the WH.

I have confidence that the public can read right through their deceit.

So how do you feel about Trumps continued disregard for the basic safety rules for covid? Holding rallies and such?

Your definition of a "good leaders" and mine must not be the same.:mrgreen:

and you do not need to agree with me either.

This is off topic but I am going to ask. If Biden was President during the pandemic and said
- “We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine
-Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away
- “When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero. That’s a pretty good job we’ve done."

Would you consider that as good leadership?

The rules/mandates are put in place by each state. Take your complaints up with them. The president has no Constitutional jurisdiction over the states' "rules". Even Biden flipflopped on an earlier statement where he said he would enact a national mask mandate. A few weeks later he took it back because he admitted he had no power to do so.

Here's the difference between me and others. I am old enough to read between the lines, and lived through enough presidencies where presidents say a lot of things that don't come to fruition.

True the States set the rules. Why is Trump ignoring them? The States has a limit of 50 people or less for gatherings.

Whitmer - Executive Order 2020-115 (COVID-19) (June 5, 2020).

The question is should the President of the United States abide by the States convid rules?

That's bull**** and you know it. Trump can wear a mask at his rally and encourage others to as well. There is no rule/mandate that says he cannot.

Not even close.

Fauci interview with Fox News reporter, John Roberts;

“According to the Post, Woodward reports in his book that Fauci has described Trump as being "on a separate channel" and offering "rudderless" leadership. Woodward also has Fauci saying Trump's "attention span is like a minus number" and "his sole purpose is to get reelected."

Fauci told Roberts Wednesday that he didn't recall saying those things.

“We just got through with a briefing with the group from the task force,' and would talk about it. So it may have happened, but I have not seen that kind of distortion.”

"I didn't really go over any of the text since it just came out," Fauci told Roberts.

"I may not be tuned in to the right thing that they're talking about.”

"If you notice, it was [reported that] others have said [I said] that. So, you know, you should ask others.I don't recall that at all, he said. "So I mean ... according to what I saw in the newspapers, it says 'and others have said that.' So you know, I don't really want to get involved in the kind of stuff that is very distracting to the kind of things that I'm trying to do and that we're all trying to do with this outbreak."

That’s a whole lot of wiggling around going on with Fauci. Pretty far from a solid rebuttal.
