Trump rebukes Fauci: We are in a good place on Covid-19

President Donald Trump rebuked Dr. Anthony Fauci's blunt assessment of the US' coronavirus response, claiming that the country is "in a good place" even as new cases surge.
"Well, I think we are in a good place. I disagree with him," Trump said to Gray Television's Greta Van Susteren, according to a transcript of the interview released Tuesday.
"Dr. Fauci said don't wear masks and now he says wear them. And he said numerous things. Don't close off China. Don't ban China. I did it anyway. I didn't listen to my experts and I banned China. We would have been in much worse shape."
"We've done a good job," the President said. "I think we are going to be in two, three, four weeks, by the time we next speak, I think we're going to be in very good shape."
The President's comments come after Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, had said Monday that the status of the coronavirus pandemic in the US is "really not good."

  1. We’re in a good place?

    First, Donald Trump becomes president, then kids are taken from their families, then a major pandemic that could’ve been mitigated leaves millions of Americans dead or dying, then everything gets shut down and millions of people can’t work or go to school — unless they can “work from home”, the president tells us to try drinking those chemicals under the kitchen sink and see what happens, then rioting in the streets, cops are beating up and even shooting and killing innocent people, then Russia puts bounties out on U.S. troops… I smell a rat.

    1. @Stephen St. Stephen Your summary of the American situation is exactly why it’s starting to become quite obvious that trump is maybe suffering from a severe mental disorder, maybe something along the lines of schizophrenia even, as he seems to have lost complete touch with reality! Even his own population and previous “supporters” seem to be able to see it! I just keep wondering, is there no Dr in the administration brave enough to step up and diagnose him before he commits further acts of insanity?!?!

    2. David S -No, he is not suffering from schizophrenia. He is a malignant, sadistic narcissist, with histrionic and anti-social personality disorders. He is the very picture of a family annihilator; he will set his own home on fire, with his family inside, walk away and never look back.

    3. You forgot the Trade War that only hurts Americans. Then the tariffs that are killing American farms just before we will most need food production. Dropping out of NAFTA, the Trans whatever trade pacts, the Paris Accords, the WHO, defunding NATO, abandoning our allies, defunding/deregulating the EPA and worker’s rights/protections. Trying to end Obama Care and fomenting racial unrest between white Americans and EVERYONE ELSE.

      If someone had planned on destroying the USA, they couldn’t have done a better job. better.

    4. @Pay Attention what’s it like to go through your whole life being gaslit and manipulated and believing everything sean hannity queefs out of his mouth vagina?

    1. @Mark messick she can go abroad but, can enter as of now, hopefully both of you is okay. Keep safe

    2. Rosie Her the first and second world countries don’t want you either – not until the US is no longer the Covid Capital of the World!!

    3. @Rosie Her If you are American, you live in one. So yeah, I guess there’s no need for you to travel.

    1. @Chabiram Seepersad it actually does matter where it came from, china planted this crap on the whole world to deal with and yet no one is blaming china for thier own creation! You liberals will keep crying about trump because that is what you guys have been doing for 4 years now!

    2. @Chabiram Seepersad For Trump there are two kinds of handling: ignoring or blaim someone else. And than he believes he´s done a good job.

    3. @J lock Dude. You’re the one who fails to understand. We are getting better at treating this, but death is a lagging indicator. The fatalities from these surges, are still about 2 – 3 weeks out. In about two weeks they’ll be using refrigerated trailers as temporary morgues in Houston.

    4. His Niece book going to tell it All! Already been informed on some details how this man work!

    1. @40INTENSITY I don’t see a great orange one,all I see is the continued stupidity of the orange one.nothing great about him!

    1. No he’s the only president since Kennedy that loves his country more than his country loves him!

  2. VIRUS : “I’M A BILLION YEARS OLD!!”

    AMERICA : “I’m a 5 yr old child, who refuses to do as he’s told!”

    1. @JUSTIN and remember, there’s a lot she’s not saying, because of slander lawsuits. 👍

    2. @J Groovy If they resigned in protest, Trump would say he fired them for incompetence and then he’d hire the Fox News medical expert, whoever that is, to replace them/

    3. the virus itself is only a few months old. coronaviruses (common cold and flu) have been around as long as cellular organisms.

    1. The eye of a hurricane is a good place. IMO, that’s where Trump thinks he’s taken us, thinking the ‘storm’ is just going to ‘disappear’

    2. I would think whether we’re in a good place would depend on what your goal was. If your goal is to infect as many people as possible, wreak havoc and sow chaos, we’re in a good place.

  3. EUROPEAN UNION : WHEN AMERICA SENDS IT’S PEOPLE THEY ARE NOT SENDING THEIR BEST. THEY ARE BRINGING DISEASE. THEY ARE BRINGING COVID 19 AND SOME I ASSUME BRING…….
    Russia’s first Lady :MAGA
    His fake supporters : KAG

    1. Wrong ! He was a doctor long before that. And not just ANY doctor, but the greatest doctor the world had ever, ever seen. He’ll tell you that himself.☮️ 😊

    1. Alexander Supertramp Democrats don’t care you meant to say… Trump is the man – is a mess look 👀 at all the blue States Alex

    2. Given the way the Covid map has changed — with prevalence at its worst all over “Trump country” — I expect his apathy will FINALLY be his downfall. We must now make sure that everyone votes, *and* that (2) Trump’s predictable voter suppression efforts are met with the fiercest resistance. I just hope enough of us survive to do that.

    3. @mark99k No. The right wingnuts are SO heavily invested in him that there is nothing he could do to turn them off. He could create tariffs that put 10’s of thousands of farmers on welfare, unable to sell their produce and livestock overseas, and they’d still vote for him. Conservative farmers will vote for government handouts.
      He could brag about sexually assaulting women, even grabbing them by the p___y while wearing a microphone and he would still be endorsed by the evangelicals. Conservative Christians will vote for misogynists.

    4. Say that to the millions of protesters of blm! They obviously dont care about any ones lives! They would rather march for a criminal than to save lives by staying at home social distancing!

    1. This is what happens when stupid people have too much money. Even though I believe Trump is over his head in debt to the Russian mob (Putin)

    2. @nobody that you know Putin is smart enough not to waste money on trump. He just got some serious, life destroying dirt on trump and now has power over him. Tactic as old as time. Now it’s just digital.

    3. @nobody that you know yes, we may not have to worry about the orange pumpkin head if he loses,, they will handle it, not that i was worried, meh, jail, mob, fuhgedaboutit!!

  4. This is a tactic that only an extreme sociopath like Trump would use. He wants the American people to suffer and die in silence. Jim Jones demanded the same thing of his followers at Jonestown.

    1. @Afrotechh YOU MEAN PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE DYING FROM THIS . ITS JUST NOT ONE COUNTRY. ALMOST EVERY COUNTRY HAS CORONA VIRUS. WE WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO CONTAIN THIS. IF WE WOULD HAVE LOCKED 90% OF THE USA. WE WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETE ANARCHY . PEOPLE WOULD HAVE STILL DIED BECAUSE THE HOSPITALS DIDN’T HAVE THE PROPER MEDICINES AS THEY DO NOW TO TREAT THE VIRUS AND PEOPLE DON’T SOCIAL DISTANCE ANYWAY. SO YOU PROBABLY WOULD HAVE SEEN THE SAME RESULTS. I AM GLAD THIS HAPPENNED THE WAY IT DID WITH ONLY 70%. IT’s BAD BUT IT COULD OF BEEN WORSE. I MIGHT HAVE JOINED ANTIFA THEY PAY 25 dollars an hour to protest IF THEY LOCKED DOWN 90%.

    2. luv4jets Wait…there was in fact a survivor of Jonestown. How ya feeling buddy? I have a question…why would your dumb azz drink the kook aid?

    3. @9000ck YOUR STATE GOVERNORS ARE DEMOCRATS THEY ARE IN CHARGE OF OPENING AND REOPENING YOUR STATE. THEY ARE TO BLAME, THANK YOU END OF STORY AND NOT TRUMP SO THANK YOU AGAIN. TRUMP ISN”T A DOCTOR SO HOW IS HE TO BLAME . HE IS Not THE ONE TREATING THESE PATIENTS. SUE THE DOCTOR TAKING CARE OF THE PATIENT.HE IS RESPONSIBLE OF THE PERSON DYING. I AM REALLYY BAFFLED WITH ALL THESE GENIOUS COMMENTS. WOW!!

  5. Now who you going to believe. Dr Fauci or the dumbest man on Earth who is a wannabe doc. Trump

    1. Rebecca Benway Oh you mean Trump supporters. Think about it, when Trump asked about injecting disinfectant CDC centers across the country had their phones lines overwhelmed. His supporters were calling to check if it’s ok. When I was a kid my mother use to lock the chemicals under the sink and tell me over and over how dangerous they were to ingest, yet these dummies called to confirm…unbelievable.🤯

    2. @Pay Attention like Rebecca said, there are so many morons in this country! And your comment is a proof of that

    3. @Pay Attention What is wrong with you? Are you insane? You take Trump’s word over the doctors’? Idiotic.

  6. If Trump left the W.H.O, what makes you think he won’t axe Fauci? He’s slowly going in that direction.

    1. +Jahmair Stewart
      I’ve been wondering lately, with his batshit decisions and all, if he’s trying NOT to be re-elected. Sounds exactly like something he’d do now that it’s been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that he doesn’t have the chops for the job.

    2. @Cecilia Cirrincione that’s why they are still in power : their God is 👿. Maybe Donnie will win. And USA 💀⚰️🥀⚱️☠️ RIP

    3. It’s July. I will vote for Joseph Biden for President of the United States in November. With gods help we will inaugurate him in Jan. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

    4. @nofy bn no you morons ment he is not your president in the actual sense stop trying to deflect how dumb you sound!

    5. @nofy bn i did not vote for obama but he was still my president! I did not cry about him being president at all, I took the high road and welcomed him as president, something you liberals need to learn how to do

    1. I’m still in denial about how that happened. Even if they know it was fixed some how they wouldn’t tell us.

    2. @Melinda Williams Cambridge Analytica had quite a bit to do with it. There’s a documentary on Netflix which is a good breakdown. It basically tailored pro-trump propaganda and straight out lies according to 500-point psychographic profiles of American facebook users. The information was taken without the users knowledge. Zuckerberg got a slap on the wrist.

    1. If trump did ask them to drink poisoned kool aid they would and they’d kill there children too.

  7. dr fauci: we need to be more cautious, the pandemic is still going on.

    trump: no it isn’t.

    dr fauci: uh, yes it is. are you a doctor?

    trump: no.

    dr fauci: well i am, so don’t you think that you should heed my words as a doctor.

    trump: no, not if it effects my re election campaign.

    the people of the u.s.: believe us when we say, your not staying in the white house. you’re not.

  8. “Its’ China’s fault.”
    “It’s the W.H.O’s fault.”
    “it’s Obama’s fault.”
    “It’s Dr. Fauci’s fault.”
    “I accept no responsibility.”

    Yeah, we can tell.
