Physician and former Chief Medical Advisor Anthony Fauci's personal diaries, released by Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), provide an intimate look at President Donald Trump's erratic behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. The diaries, which span from January 2020 to August 2020, detail Trump's deteriorating focus during critical public health discussions. On March 27, 2020, Fauci noted Trump's rambling press conference that veered from discussing the relief package to attacking previous administrations.
