āThe president was irate, saying that I could not keep doing this to him,ā Fauci wrote, according to the Times.
āHe said he loved me, but the country was in trouble, and I was making it worse. He added that the stock market went up only 600 points in response to the positive Phase 1 vaccine news, and it should have gone up 1,000 points, and so I cost the country āone trillion dollars,āā Fauci reportedly said.
To be fair, "Trump Took COVID Response Personally" doesn't do much either.
