Obama Called Don Jr A F**king Moron And Trump A Hopeless Idiot In A Private Call

Blogged by: PolyGirlSaysWhat

Barack Obama called Trump a hopeless idiot and a pathologic liar during a private phone call with Dr. Anthony Fauci, and Fauci wrote all of it down. The entry surfaced this week in more than a thousand pages of Fauci’s personal COVID era diary, which was made public by Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky.

The call happened on November 4, 2021. Obama reached Fauci on his cellphone, and the two spoke for about 25 minutes in a conversation Fauci described in his notes as incredibly memorable. Obama had called to offer support and, in Fauci’s words, to help in any way that he could while Fauci was taking what Fauci described as an onslaught of slanderous lies from the political right.

Somewhere in that call, Fauci told Obama what Donald Trump Jr. had been doing. Trump Jr. was selling sweatshirts and T shirts on his website, with proceeds going toward his fundraising, printed with the words “Fauci kills puppies.” According to the diary, Obama’s response was immediate. He said Donald Trump Jr. is “a f*cking moron.” He then apologized for using crude language. Then, per Fauci’s account, Obama called Trump a hopeless idiot who was a pathologic liar.

Fauci added that Obama was very upset that none of the moderate Republicans were speaking out on his behalf, and that they were instead distancing themselves from what Fauci called terrible, slanderous behavior against him.

The puppy line that set the whole thing off deserves a minute, because it was built on a real study twisted into something it was not. In October 2021, a paper published in the journal PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases described research funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the agency Fauci ran, in which puppies were exposed to sand flies while their heads were held in mesh cages. Sand flies transmit a parasitic disease, and the research was studying it.
