Owens said there was a shift towards the end of Trump's presidency, and she blamed the COVID-19 pandemic for handcuffing Trump.
She warned that Trump shutting down the government could have long-term ramifications.
During her interview with Trump in December 2021, Candace confronted the former president about the COVID-19 vaccine.
Owens asked Trump where he stands on the vaccine mandates. He replied, "People have to have their freedom," and then touted the COVID-19 vaccine as "one of the greatest achievements of mankind."
Addressing why Trump hasn't acknowledged reports of possible efficacy issues with the COVID-19 vaccine, Owens theorized, "I believe also, he only reads the mainstream media news. I do not believe that Trump reads or partakes in any other news sources. I don't believe that Trump is on the internet, or you know that he necessarily uses like you know the web to try to find obscure websites. I think that he just relies on typical mainstream sources."
Owens said that she was defending Trump, not taking a shot at him, but rather providing commentary on his generation.
The Daily Beast took Owens' remarks and published an article with the headline: "Candace Owens: Trump is Pro-Vax Because He’s ‘Too Old’ to Understand the Internet."
She proclaimed, "I never once called Trump ‘too old.’ I never once said Trump could not understand the Internet. And yet, somehow, he got that information and believed it to be true."
Owens alleges that a mutual friend informed Trump of the article, and he purportedly became upset with Candace, and allegedly said, "I'm so mad at Candace."
Owens claims, "And this got back to me that he was angry, that he was upset with me. And the next time I saw him, he was quite rude to me. He was actually rude to me."

She was just mentioning Trump a couple of days ago. Someone posted the video here. She talked about Trumps anger problem, but she did it in a fair way. Trump does have issues. But he is also great in so many ways.

Dude, what?
“Kari Lake cannot be a credible presidential contender if she can’t even win the governor’s election in her home state.”
That’s not stopping some Democrat politicians and media pundits from touting Stacey Abrams for a future presidential run.
“Looks like it’s pile on Candace time too.”
Looks like we are not as pure minded as you, who evidently just smiles when someone slaps you around.
Candace teamed up with Kanya West; he made some questionable statements about Jews, so what better way to re-establish her credibility than by attacking Trump.
Republicans don't play that way.
I'd have to agree.
In politics, "perception is reality", and the only thing that is important is what the general population, especially the electorate, perceive. Outside of niche web forums, "obscure websites" have little impact on people's opinions.
2. Ken Griffin is in negotiating with DeSantis. DeSantis will be owned, unlike Trump.
3. Which POTUS was as successful as Trump? Look at what Trump accomplished:
Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
Inflation about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now;
Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything
down and we were in the midst of a V-shape recovery until January 22, 2021;
Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way;
Little Rocket Man of North Korea stopped playing with his toys;
China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
US companies were bringing home the jobs due to well executed tax treatments;
Peace in the Middle East aka Abraham Accords; US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated.
Got three non-left “I don't know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.
Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by Obama's Weaponized Agencies?
If Trump really thinks that “the COVID-19 vaccine as “one of the greatest achievements of mankind.”, that is a strong reason not to vote for him again. His first 3 years in office were great, but 2020 was a nightmare, except for replacing Ginsburg on SCOTUS. Thanks for the great part President Trump, but we now need someone even better than you as POTUS, and I hope that will be Ron DeSantis.
Trump teamed up with Kanye too.
Kanye is another prime example of how gullible the Right is. From his church scam to his conservative scams. We fell for it time after time.
Well, I didn’t.
“I can’t think of a single black Democrat woman in major political office (or even a candidate for one) who doesn’t come across as a buffoon and a clown.”
It is not a major political office, but I admit to voting for Alisha Searcy (D) for Georgia Superintendent of Schools in the most recent election. Her Republican opponent, the incumbent, has been in that office for 30 years and seems hopelessly out-of-touch with what is (or should be) going on in today’s schools. Searcy is a former state legislator, and currently runs an educational consultant firm. I thought she was the better choice for the job. She is definitely neither a buffon nor a clown.
