i’m no genius, but to me i’ve seen, before the pandemic, trump respond to big flashy emotional testimony, and he’s bored by fact-based normal science/intelligence. fauci’s like whispering, “well i disagree, we need a much greater sample size than one person you talked to on the phone.” and as soon as he’s out of the room 3 other people put on a fox news performance and to donnie dumb dumb it’s 3-1 in favor of fun action now instead of boring waiting for later
the guy is 80 years old, he’s used to everyone he talks to professionally instantly respecting his opinion and he’s not interested in spending every moment impressing the gravity of the situation to an unprecedentedly stupid president. well it sucks for us that he didn’t feel like coming up with more effective ways to communicate the science. with hundreds of thousands of lives at stake idk it seems like he could have tried harder.
