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."

Any sane person who understands what happened should be very angry.
her fame is going to her head ... unfortunately, it can happen to the best of us ...
I think the media knows how to set people up. Trump wasn’t a politician and can’t play that nonsense but he gets caught up in it.
This is an interesting sentiment, but it is completely disconnected from reality.
Kari Lake cannot be a credible presidential contender if she can't even win the governor's election in her home state. And Thomas Massie is my favorite member of Congress ... which actually explains why he'd have no appeal to a broad base of voters.
Gee, I can’t understand why Candice...
Here’s how it works.... everyone in Trump’s orbit is good and noble, until they question him one little bit. Or he criticizes them. Then they leave the orbit. Meanwhile, the members within the orbit get smaller and smaller, until the only person in it is.... Trump.
Another phrase for this is “cult of personality”.
Spoiler alert: Owens says in the article it's Kari Lake and Thomas Massie.
Poor snowflake.
There's something endearing about a guy who is a billionaire several times over but treats politics like professional wrestling and can get so easily offended by people who aren't even close to his social/financial stature.
I mean -- Could anyone even imagine Warren Buffett or Bill Gates giving a sh!t about what some @sshole in the media says about him?
Yet look at the headline they made...
Trump let the MSM and rat politicians run roughshod over him with the Covid19. That’s just a fact.
“..he was upset with me. He was quite rude!”
It’s as though she’s talking about her Boyfriend.
Agree Trump can’t even take mild criticism. Oh you mean Candace.
Republicans are experts in the art of circular firing squads.
Sounds like Candace can’t take criticism. Then there’s...
“In 2015, Owens was CEO of Degree180, a marketing agency that offered consultation, production, and planning services.[1][6] The website included a blog, written by Owens, which frequently posted anti-conservative and anti-Trump content, including mockery of his penis size.[6][27] In a 2015 column that Owens wrote for the site, she criticized conservative Republicans, writing about the “bat-shit-crazy antics of the Republican Tea Party,” adding, “The good news is, they will eventually die off (peacefully in their sleep, we hope), and then we can get right on with the OBVIOUS social change that needs to happen, IMMEDIATELY.”[1][3][28][29]”
She is too young and has a lot of learning to do.
I've always thought that but hoped people in his sphere, like say Don Jr, would inform him but maybe he thinks only the Big Names are important.
Trump has one quality others on the platform lack. He has many qualities. But one makes a difference in whether you believe in him or not.
He does care about the country.
He cares about the people.
He left a life of comfort to serve.
He was met with hate and rejection
..except for what is left of MAGA.
I’d always liked her but in the last year or so she has rubbed me the wrong way. Nothing specific, but I had the feeling that she was very impressed with herself and I wasn’t sure how sincere she was. Something recently about her family and an airline just seemed, weird and contrived.
