President Trump on Tuesday mocked the top U.S. infectious diseases expert Anthony Fauci, suggesting his “prognostications” about the coronavirus have been inaccurate amid a standoff between the doctor and the president’s reelection campaign.
“Actually, Tony’s pitching arm is far more accurate than his prognostications,” Trump tweeted, referencing Fauci’s wild first pitch at the Washington Nationals season opener in July.
The president also appeared to attribute a quote to Fauci that he never said publicly, describing how he and other health officials changed their position on mask usage early in the pandemic.
“ ‘No problem, no masks,’ ” Trump tweeted.
“WHO no longer likes Lockdowns — just came out against. Trump was right. We saved 2,000,000 USA lives!!!” Trump continued.
