evidence: Trump claimed that Florida under DeSantis "sort of had a mandate" on Covid-19 vaccines. In fact, DeSantis never imposed any kind of Covid-19 vaccine mandate. Defending himself against criticism from DeSantis, Trump claimed that he would not have given Dr. Anthony Fauci a presidential commendation and does not know who gave Fauci such a commendation. In fact, it was him, Donald Trump. [...] Trump made it sound like he didn’t award Fauci the commendation himself. He said, "I don’t know who gave him the commendation. I really don’t know who gave him the commendation. I wouldn’t have done it." He said moments later, "Someone probably handed him a commendation." Facts First: This is false. On his last full day in office in January 2021, Trump awarded commendations to Fauci and dozens of others who were involved in his administration’s Operation Warp Speed initiative to quickly develop Covid-19 vaccines. The Trump White House’s announcement was titled, "President Trump Awards Presidential Commendations to Operation Warp Speed Team." It began, "Today, President Donald J. Trump awarded Presidential Commendations to the below individuals in recognition of their exceptional efforts on Operation Warp Speed." Fauci was the seventh name on the list.
