    Obama's Expletive-Laden Take on Trump Jr. Revealed in Fauci Diaries

    Barack Obama's utter contempt for Donald Trump Jr.'s intellect has been exposed in the secret diaries of Dr. Anthony Fauci. Obama reportedly called Trump Jr. 'a f---ing moron' during a phone call with Fauci in November 2021, after Trump Jr. sold merchandise mocking Fauci with false claims about puppy experiments. Obama also described Donald Trump as 'a hopeless idiot who was a pathologic liar'. The diaries, spanning over 1,000 pages, were released by Sen. Rand Paul as part of his efforts to politicize COVID-19 and push unsubstantiated claims about Fauci's involvement in the pandemic's origins.
