Anthony Fauci on Monday, urging the nation’s leading infectious diseases expert to “make better decisions” after he told his campaign staff the physician is “a disaster.”.

In a series of tweets, the commander-in-chief rebuffed claims from the White House coronavirus task force expert that Fauci isn’t being allowed to do TV interviews and skewered both the 79-year-old’s Washington Nationals mask and pitching arm.

Tony Fauci says we don’t allow him to do television, and yet I saw him last night on @60Minutes, and he seems to get more airtime than anybody since the late, great, Bob Hope,” Trump tweeted, referring to the legendary comedian.

He said ‘no masks & let China in.’ Also, Bad arm!” he continued, mocking the opening pitch that the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases threw way off the plate at the long-awaited 2020 MLB season opener in June.

Number two, it keeps reminding me that Tony threw out perhaps the worst first pitch in the history of Baseball!” Trump went on.

Trump later tweeted a 2004 clip of his own first pitch at a Somerset Patriots minor league game in Bridgewater Township, NJ.

Although he hasn’t thrown an opening pitch as president, Trump threw that pitch 16 years ago after he landed on the field in a helicopter.

After Fauci was asked to throw out the Yankees-Nationals pitch this year, Trump said he would throw his own at Yankee Stadium on Aug.

Earlier Monday, the president sounded off against the physician during a call with his Trump 2020 staff.

Fauci is a nice guy,” Trump said, indicating he wanted to fire the Brooklyn-born director of the NIAID but couldn’t because of potential public outrage.

If I’d listened to him, we’d have 500,000 deaths,” Trump said

The physician has frequently come under fire from the president and other Trump administration officials who have repeatedly questioned his warnings, which they argue have been alarmist
