Trump: Dr. Fauci has made 'bad calls'

"Sometimes he says things that are a little bit off and they get built up unfortunately, but he's a nice guy," Trump said

Earlier Monday, Trump called Fauci a "disaster."

Trump and Fauci, a member of his coronavirus task force, have been at odds over how best to handle a pandemic that has killed more than 219,000 people in the United States and weakened the Republican president's Nov. 3 re-election bid.
