That Trump was concerned about the ratings tells you everything you need to know about him. Beyond despicable.

[blackOneTime]

Trump threw out the Pandemic Playbook left by Obama out of Jealousy.... That should have told us everything we needed to know about Trump

[evermoreart]

It is pitiful that just one malignant narcissist could turn so many poorly educated against a noble Humanitarian.

[ammaopoku]

He does not look 83 years young. He is a man that we should be grateful and thank for. Great man who has done a lot not just for America but most of the world 🌍 ❤ 🙏🏾👏

As a retired RN that worked thru Covid, I have a huge amount of respect for Dr Fauci. I believe he saved thousands of us.

Here in Australia our covid death rate was 10 times lower than America, because we respect our scientific and medical experts, we did listen to them and we did follow their advice !!

As a nurse, therapist who worked with AIDS patients in hospital and hospice Dr Fauci was a beacon of hope. During COVID, Dr. Fauci was/is a hero fighting not just the disease but politicians and ignorance. He is a strong, intelligent, dedicated, compassionate, brave man. Everything he does is to make people's lives better. A true physician. Thank you for everything you have done for all of us.

honesty we dont see very often in gov. 50 yrs serving americans and some dont appreciate his contributions without looking for praise to america and the world. THANK YOU DR FAUCI

[Liskokel]

Wow, 83 years old. He seems so youthful and clearly has a sharp mind.

[georgebrianfredson-rzlu]

Thank you for your service, Dr. Fauci. You are a hero in my book.

Many people should be ashamed of their treatment of Fauci who has devoted much of his life to treating and helping others even in the most difficult of times. He deserves the thanks of the American people, not admonishment.

We are black and latino, and WE do not support trump at all, never have never will!!!

[fizzedupslade]

I think all those people that voted for MTG should be ashamed of themselves, they know nothing. Seeing MTG whipping up her base to hate this man is thoroughly disgusting and I hold nothing but contempt for each and every one of them.

I would vote for Dr. Fauci for president before I would ever even think of voting for Trump.

It truly makes me sad how Dr. Fauci has been treated by so many people. This man has quietly dedicated his life to trying to keep people safe. He's not a magician, he's not perfect, but he's smart, kind, thoughtful, and a talented man who deserves so much respect. I wish him the absolute best in whatever he does and I'm so glad he's been on our side for all these years.

[MsRotorwings]

“Look at the ratings.” That’s what Trump cares about, not the American people.

[jbrjbr]

We were so fortunate to have Dr. Fauci through so many crises...He deserves to be praised, not denigrated.

[opheliaotengtwenefor]

This is what you call a real American and a love for human life. Good job 👏 and God bless you .

[marykilgarriff]

I have 💯 respect for him. Watching from Ireland 🇮🇪

[vcryravioli]

Trump prioritizing ratings rather than public concerns back then is so bonkers.
