Donald Trump is the architect of Operation Warp Speed and is arguably America's #1 COVID vaccine shill. Anyone saying otherwise is being the "revisionist," and funnily enough, The Donald himself would probably say that even today too.

Donald Trump surely has his own regrets, expressed through his repeated disowning of Antony Fauci, Deborah Birx, and many of the bureaucrats who we now know colluded to provide him with incorrect information.

————————————————

When do this ever happen? Trump stuck with Fauci and the vaccine lies and never admitted his mistakes.

Most trump supporters here openly admit djt’s faults.

Not so much for ron’s shills here

Jab pushing and his constant endorsement of anti maga people are definitely don’s biggest flaws

Mike Pence’s taskforce

Oh man. Set them up and knock them down. I should have seen that one coming. So should Pence.

DeSantis has indeed engaged in a shift in narrative which has been quite disingenuous - he could have actually stood on his actual record as an accomplishment to campaign on - but instead he is trying to use it as a way to hit Trump instead. That is not helpful to anyone, including himself - self defeating and is bad for the political dialog. DeSantis’ all of the above, aggressive approach allowed Florida to beat the pandemic sooner than many other states and open sooner than other states - that should be his story, not an alternate history designed entirely to attack Trump.

This article, however, takes a great deal of liberties with the truth in its own right to create a web of conspiracies to create another narrative. Shame on the author - and on you for posting.

Hilarious, DeSantis running on his conservative record just drives the populists insane.

Why don’t you avail us of what you say is the truth. Just saying this isn’t true and admonishing the OP isn’t proof that you know what the real truth is.

If the OP should be ashamed, then by all means, point out why.

Trump looks like a fool trying to claim he and Fauci aren’t responsible for the nationwide lockdowns, as if people don’t remember. For those few who don’t, here’s the exact timeline with regard to Florida.

- March 16, 2020: Trump issues his nationwide lockdown guidelines “Two Weeks To Flatten The Curve”

- March 30, 2020: Two weeks later, Trump extends his nationwide lockdown guidelines, indefinitely

- April 1, 2020: Only AFTER Trump extended his lockdown guidelines indefinitely, AND personally called DeSantis to persuade him, did DeSantis agree to limited lockdowns that were LESS than what Trump requested nationally

Here’s Trump’s actual announcement from March 16, in his own words, well before he had to call DeSantis and persuade him to cooperate:

https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-vice-president-pence-members-coronavirus-task-force-press-briefing-3/

TRUMP: “This afternoon, we’re announcing new guidelines for every American to follow ... The White House Task Force meets every day and continually updates guidelines ... we’ve made the decision to further toughen the guidelines and blunt the infection now. We’d much rather be ahead of the curve than behind it, and that’s what we are.

Therefore, my administration is recommending that all Americans, including the young and healthy,

- Work to engage in schooling from home when possible.

- Avoid gathering in groups of more than 10 people.

- Avoid discretionary travel.

- And avoid eating and drinking at bars, restaurants, and public food courts.

If everyone makes this change or these critical changes and sacrifices now, we will rally together as one nation and we will defeat the virus.”

Zeepers don’t count. They only like people who want to waste money on a neolib proxy war in Ukraine. That fat lipped RDS spokesmouth Pushaw who worked to get Zelensky elected guarantees constant money for that RAT war. That war is not conservative. War is not a conservative principle.

You said “Don”. Nice Freudian slip.

As it is, Dons shills are vehement about protecting him from any criticism at all. Totally wrong take. “Openly admit” ROFL. Deny deny, or declare them false or unimportant.

Or mark the $100k “donation” box and send a check for that amount to the Clinton Foundation.

Perhaps if Pence had been allowed to run the task force it would have been different. But Trumps ego wouldn’t allow him to share the daily spotlight.

"Most trump supporters here openly admit djt’s faults."

Oh, please. All I've seen from the recent "Donald Trump stuck with Fauci" threads is endless cope about how Trump couldn't have known he was so bad, and excuse after excuse that "well, Trump couldn't fire him, the media wouldn't have liked it."
