Trump is pro vax and anti- vax mandate. Most sane people hold the same view about the vax.

That may be true. If so, then he should get out ahead of it and quit helping them. People’s lives are at stake. That is what is important. Not what the lying media thinks.

The problem is that he doubles down on the worst mistake of his presidency and perhaps the worst error in the history of our country (and perhaps worse than that). Whether it’s narcissistic blindness or some other fault, it is disqualifying in my mind. I can’t get around the part he’s still playing in this nightmarish tragedy. (And no, I’m not a DeSantis guy either.)

His narcissism always gets in the way.

Guess this makes Trump a RINO Cuck Squishy Deep State Traitor (it only takes the ‘wrong’ stance on a single issue to qualify someone as a traitor).

If he wins the Republican nomination in 2024, I’m still voting for him.

The form of covid that is now becoming the most contagious has no vaccine to counteract it, and so this should put an end, if only temporary, to the whole vaccine fight.

The vaccines helped early on, but as the thing mutated faster and faster they became obsolete. The only way to avoid the latest monster is to get the disease, and that will give you some natural antibody protection against getting it again.

As a rule, each President is responsible for his years in office and cannot be held accountable for the decisions of his successor.

I credit Richard Nixon for winning the Vietnam war and bringing the troops home with honor. Nor do I fault Ford for losing the peace. It was Congress, controlled by Democrats, who abandoned South Vietnam. The right follow-through is critical. Successful examples include Truman and Bush senior in cementing the accomplishment of their predecessor.

How did Trump/Pence do on the jab? I give them mixed reviews. The biggest problems lay in the follow-through of the Biden administration. Mandates were simply evil. Nor do I think there was, or is even now, INFORMED consent. Biden and the rest of the Government/AMA/Pharma industrial complex shut down all alternatives to the vaccine (gene therapy).

Democrats seem to think the “vaccine” is great, yet never credit Trump. Despicable people. All things considered; I don’t think Trump can turn on the vaccine. However, he should attack Biden mandates whenever the topic comes up.

Consider the source...

President Trump's own words during a Monday interview on the conservative podcast The Water Cooler with host David Brody?

It would be best for Trump to get taken out in the Primaries at this point and fade off into history, he was the man for the moment.

Trump would just run a third party kamikaze campaign straight into the GOP primary winner.

I did. If you read Trump’s EO on vaccines in September 2019 where Trip picked his Pandemic Team.

We don't have to worry about that. The Desantis primary "threat" is a joke. He ain't running.

A highly contagious virus was always inevitably going to go around the world several times, exposure unavoidable. That’s risk one.
So they rush a vaccine, novel, no long term testing. That’s risk two.
I couldn’t avoid risk one, which as it turns out isn’t in the 1918 league.
Why would I sign up for a second risk if I didn’t have to?
So I didn’t.

“When all that is Holy, is he unleashed hell, due to him being a germaphobe. This was and will always be his weak spot.”

“unleashed hell???” A little dramatic, don’t you think”

Trump push therapeutics just as hard as the vaccine, or maybe harder, since therapeutics saved him. He issued executive orders mandating them, and Biden canceled them all soon as he was in the White House.

Most of us thought it was the CCP who unleashed the hell.

Well, I gues you know best.

By the time he was doing that stuff, he was a “voice in the background,.” He had lost the fight to Fauci and Birx.

I guess what bothered me is that Trump did not seem to understand how any virus worked. It took about a day’s worth of research to understand, in a basic way, what a Coronavirus was, and how it was different than other types. You could learn that there never has been (and likely never will be) an effective vaccine because of the way the virus mutates and replicates. You would be able to learn the dangers of a spike protein.

He is not a dumb guy. But his actions and comments during that time showed that he hadn’t done basic homework. He allowed himself to become the story—rather than the process of attacking the virus.

Folks around these parts understood that; and despised Fauci early on.

And...for Tump to say he saved 100 million lives is such typical Trump hyperbole its laughable.

If you mean EO 13887 (9/19/19), it was in reference to flu vaccines, and Fauci wasn’t mentioned by name though you can infer that one of the “senior officials” mentioned was Fauci.

If the vax helped the vulnerable (comorbidities, etc) then he could be right. I wouldn’t believe any numbers from CDC/WHO, tho.

Side effects? Sure. Probably terrible. What matters there is were they lied about and on purpose — or negligence?
