Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
Based on their interviews, I felt it was time to speak up about Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx, two self-promoters trying to reinvent history to cover for their bad instincts and faulty recommendations, which I fortunately almost always overturned. They had bad policy decisions that would have left our country open to China and others, closed to reopening our economy, and years away from an approved vaccineāputting millions of lives at risk.
Ā
We developed American vaccines by an American President in record time, nine months, which is saving the entire world. We bought billions of dollars of these vaccines on a calculated bet that they would work, perhaps the most important bet in the history of the world. Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx moved far too slowly, and if it were up to them weād currently be locked in our basements as our country suffered through a financial depression. Families, and children in particular, would be suffering the mental strains of this disaster like never before.Ā
Ā
In a fake interview last night on CNN, Dr. Fauci, who said he was an athlete in college but couldnāt throw a baseball even close to home plate, it was a āroller,ā tried to take credit for the vaccine, when in fact he said it would take three to five years, and probably longer, to have it approved. Dr. Fauci was incapable of pressing the FDA to move it through faster. I was the one to get it done, and even the fake news media knows and reports this.
Ā
Dr. Fauci is also the king of āflip-flopsā and moving the goalposts to make himself look as good as possible. He fought me so hard because he wanted to keep our country open to countries like China. I closed it against his strong recommendation, which saved many lives. Dr. Fauci also said we didnāt need to wear masks, then a few months later he said we needed to wear masks, and now, two or three of them. Fauci spent U.S. money on the Wuhan lab in Chinaāand we now know how that worked out.Ā
Ā
Dr. Birx is a proven liar with very little credibility left. Many of her recommendations were viewed as āpseudo-science,ā and Dr. Fauci would always talk negatively about her and, in fact, would ask not to be in the same room with her. The States who followed her lead, like California, had worse outcomes on Covid, and ruined the lives of countless children because they couldnāt go to school, ruined many businesses, and an untold number of Americans who were killed by the lockdowns themselves. Dr. Birx was a terrible medical advisor, which is why I seldom followed her advice. Her motto should be āDo as I say, not as I do.ā Who can forget when Dr. Birx gave a huge mandate to the people of our Nation to not travel, and then traveled a great distance to see her family for Thanksgivingāonly to have them call the police and turn her in? She then, embarrassingly for her, resigned.Ā
Ā
Finally, Dr. Birx says she canāt hear very well, but I can. There was no āvery difficultā phone call, other than Dr. Birxās policies that would have led us directly into a COVID caused depression. She was a very negative voice who didnāt have the right answers. Time has proven me correct. I only kept Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx on because they worked for the U.S. government for so longāthey are like a bad habit!
