>>> one of the best Presidents we have ever had!
I can agree with that!
He still has his head up his ass though.
It didn’t appeal to my rational side from the beginning and whether Trump or Biden tell us to get it- I knew it wasn’t right for me. Of course I can change my mind, but nothing I’ve learned in the last 18 months has persuaded me this would be the best decision.
Trump is in a bind. There was a lot he didn’t know - like most of us- and relied on the madman Fauci and assorted advisors. He brags about its speedy development while many of us have concluded that’s part of the problem. For him to back off supporting it now - in his thinking- undermine what he may still believe was a great accomplishment.
Exactly. I got the COVID-19 Trump vaccine as soon as it was available. But everyone has to make their own medical decisions in consultation with their doctor without the feds getting their snout in your business.
*** Were Trump in the White House now, it would NOT be pushing mandates now. ***
Conjecture.
The last two years have shown me that people are so scared of dying that they’ll stop living. And that’s really sad.
Not conjecture.....
Truth!
Trump doesn’t push mandates
It is sort of ironic that late last summer & fall, the talk show chatter was the nay sayers saying Trump would never meet his end of September, by Election Day and end of year stated deadlines. There was a lot of defense in favor of Trump and the vaxes at that time and little on the anti-vax pushback. That pushback became louder when the administrations changed. And again shortly after the initial rollout. And as Biden started sounding victorious about the rollout success, it suddenly seemed there was a full out assault to dampen further demand.

Hmmmm… yes, conjecture.
Were Trump in the White House now, the White House would not have stopped building the wall and would not be allowing open borders and illegal alien invasions. Also conjecture… but certainly reasonable conjecture to people with an actual ability to reason.
Border wall/mandates
Apples to oranges. Nice try. Oh, bonus points for your snarky insult.
I conjectured on statements by Trump before his election as President, he would pardon Assange, and get the US out of regime change efforts in Syria.
I conjectured wrong.
I forgot to add in post 27 that there were claims on talk radio and conservative news channels and streaming that regulatory was dragging their heels in approving the use for f the vaxxes by the general public.
I think it’s great that President Trump is saying this stuff - scoring political points on the fact that Biden is forcing people to take an unpopular vaccination against their will.
But what is REALLY going on has nothing to do with trust or salesmanship - what is really going on is that a year and-a-half has gone by and we know a lot more now than we did then:
We know now that Covid did not turn out to be the raging deadly pandemic that was predicted at first. Even if you believe the puffed up government morbidity rates, it just never came anywhere close to the worst case scenarios they were touting at the beginning.
We know now that if you are reasonably healthy you will get cold symptoms - if that. Most people just aren’t afraid of catching Covid19.
We know now that the vaccines aren’t working - even with boosters they don’t stop you from catching it or spreading it.
We know now that if you caught Covid you would have far better and longer lasting immunity than whatever the vaccines promise.
President Trump was facing a truly fearsome prospect: a deadly pandemic on par with the Spanish flu. He was absolutely right to take it seriously and fast track vaccines.
A year-and-a-half later, Biden is using what’s left of the Covid nothing-burger to score political points and justify mail-in ballots and other government shenanigans - and President Trump is right to rub Biden’s face in it every chance he gets.
"If you remember, if you remember what happened during, we didn’t have a mandate problem. Everybody actually rushed. They wanted to get the vaccine. And now they do have because I don’t think they trust the Biden administration. I think that’s what’s happened. They just don’t trust the Biden administration."
