According to Trump, he was &#8220;not actually allowed to fire him,&#8221; but he made it clear that he would have done it anyway.<\/p>\n<p>The interview took place on Fox News with anchor Bret Baier, and Trump didn&#8217;t shy away from discussing his accomplishments.

Because, people love the vaccines, and people hate the vaccines. But, conservatives aren&#8217;t&#8230; and I understand both sides of it, by the way. I understand both sides very well. What I didn&#8217;t do is the mandates \u2014 the mandates and the vaccines don&#8217;t go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump quickly shifted the conversation to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, accusing him of being fond of Fauci. Baier countered, saying, &#8220;Sure, but you didn&#8217;t fire him. You listened to him, you kept him on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re not actually allowed to fire him,&#8221; Trump clarified, &#8220;but I wouldn&#8217;t let that usually get in my way. You know, it&#8217;s one of those things. But you have a lot of people that love the vaccines, I mean, you do.
