“I have a hard time getting past the poor choices Trump made at the start of this pandemic, in particular keeping on Fauci.”

Even more problematic - he still doesn’t like the idea of dumping Fauci. Even Bill O’Reilly knows Fauci should have been history a long time ago:
“Trump defends *NOT* firing Dr. Anthony Fauci”

You realize that doesn’t mean Trump didn’t like the idea. Trump is a lot shrewder than most people criticizing his decision. Trump said it was a boom if you keep Fauci but a bigger BOOM if you fire him.
As for Bill, he is spinning. Bill may say you should have fired him now but Bill is the one who said in 2020 Trump shouldn’t criticize Fauci and to keep him as an advisor.
