Former President Donald Trump recently shouted foul-mouthed abuse at Anthony Fauci and then said that he loved him. He further claimed that he would win the 2020 election in a “f***ing landslide,” the top medical adviser reveals in his new memoir via Yahoo.
It is noted that in the eagerly awaited book, Fauci describes conversations with Trump during the pandemic in which the then-president would “announce that he loved me and then scream at me on the phone.”
“Let’s just say, I found this to be out of the ordinary,” Fauci writes, of conversations peppered with f-bombs, including the claim Fauci had cost the U.S. economy “one trillion f***ing dollars.”
The book, On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service, is set to be published in the U.S. next week as Trump and President Joe Biden’s rematch gathers pace. The Daily Beast recently obtained a copy.
It is noted that on the page, Fauci revealed interactions with Trump as the administration wrestled with the president’s opposition to public health measures including masking; Trump’s desire to reopen the country; his indulgence of advisers with dubious qualifications pushing untested treatments; his bizarre suggestion that bleach might kill the virus; and, ultimately, his hospitalization with the virus owing to the pandemic..
Fauci, the veteran director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), became the face of the pandemic and tried to navigate between Trump’s erratic statements and his own medical expertise.
He then became Biden’s chief medical adviser and retired in 2022. In March last year, the New York Post reported that Fauci sold his memoir for “just under $5 million.” Crown Publishing, a Penguin Random House imprint, said that figure was inaccurate.
