That's not the point. People across the country are trying to claim that Trump personally did not take the threat seriously enough early on, and blaming him for not listening to his advisors etc. This video clearly shows that at least one of his most important (supposedly) advisors also did not take the threat seriosuly enough in january. It's great ammo against this common, and false, criticism.

I think it also shows why Fauci and Trump have been very reluctant to point the finger at each other. Fauci knows that he's as much to blame as Trump for our late response, if you want to believe that our response was late. Trump is taking the high road and not throwing Fauci and others under the bus for not acting sooner.
