President Trump questioned the value of Dr. Anthony Fauci to the White House coronavirus task force, telling Fox News that he “inherited” the federal government’s top infectious disease expert.
Said Trump: “I disagree with a lot of what he said. I get along with him, but every once in a while, he’ll come up with one that I say, ‘Where did that come from?'”
He added: “I inherited him. He was here. He was part of this huge piece of machine.”
