In a new book, Dr. Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has revealed how Trump would alternate between screaming at him and praising him during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns. According to Kimmel, Trump once yelled at Dr. Fauci, blaming him for costing the U.S. economy 1 trillion dollars, only to then offer him a job running one of his companies.
Kimmel humorously pointed out that this offer wasn’t surprising considering Trump’s track record of business failures, as detailed by his own business partners in a list published in 2022. Kimmel highlighted the irony of Trump accusing Fauci of causing economic losses when Trump himself has faced multiple bankruptcies and business failures. He joked that losing money seemed to be Trump’s specialty, as evidenced by his business history.
With a touch of humor, Kimmel discussed Trump’s tendency to both criticize and praise individuals, showcasing the unpredictable nature of his interactions. This story was shared as part of Kimmel’s Tuesday night monologue, providing a humorous take on the relationship between Trump and Fauci during a tumultuous time in American history.
