Fact-check these claims: 1. Congress largely ignored the virus to focus on the doomed impeachment theater. 2. Trump followed expert advice from start to finish. 3. Trump never had an option to "test our way out," the way some other countries did.

Yes, but I think he has also said he was amazed at Trump's decision and applauded it. My sense is it was Trump's decision that Fauci concurred with. I get the sense other experts disagreed at the time, but I could be wrong in that perception. Experts always have 20/20 hindsight.

I believe Trump always goes with the expert advice on the content of any coronavirus issue, but pushes time lines as an executive decision on his own. No expert would do what Trump does as fast as he does it, for better or worse, mostly better as it turns out.

The expert (Fauci) didn't approach Trump with that suggestion; it was vice versa. Evidence that even experts aren't always brave/bold enough to posit opinions that may be viewed negatively?
