The president told his supporters that “You won't hear too much about it” after the election.
At that point, a ”Fire Fauci” chant could be heard among the assembled crowd.
The chant then grew louder as Trump paused before commenting ”Don't tell anybody, but let me wait 'til a little bit after the election.”

It is not something that Fauci can agree on.
“I have real problems with that guy,” Fauci said. “He's a smart guy who's talking about things that I believe he doesn't have any real insight or knowledge or experience in. He keeps talking about things that when you dissect it out and parse it out, it doesn't make any sense.”
