Fauci Makes Cover of Time Magazine

September 23, 2020, 5:26 AM MDT

Fauci, who has risen to national prominence by dispensing advice about the coronavirus that frequently contradicts Trump’s statements, is on the cover of Time magazine, a prime piece of media real estate that the president has frequently held up as a pinnacle of recognition.

As part of its 100 Most Influential People issue, Time highlighted the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases with a short piece written by late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.

“We are all fortunate to have a man of his wisdom, experience and integrity to help us navigate these difficult waters,” Kimmel writes.

Trump is also in the issue, with a brief piece that notes he downplayed the pandemic. But the president is known to obsess over the magazine’s cover, which could strain relations with Fauci. Trump, whose golf club once displayed a fake Time cover of himself, reportedly disliked a cover featuring adviser Steve Bannon and groused when climate activist Greta Thunberg was named person of the year.
