Attacks Dr. Fauci as a "disaster" and calls public health officials "idiots"

On a call with campaign staff, Trump vented his frustration about the ongoing pandemic coverage, attacking Dr. Anthony Fauci. "People are tired of hearing Fauci and all these idiots," he said, calling Fauci a "disaster" and claiming that if he had listened to him, there would be "700,000 or 800,000 deaths." The attacks came as Fauci warned of a difficult winter ahead.
