I guess he also “forgot” the following:
Trump brags about closing the country down
Trump says he told Kemp: ‘I totally disagree’ with move to reopen Georgia
"The vaccine is one of the greatest achievements of mankind," Trump
"I came up with a vaccine, with three vaccines all are very, very good," Trump
"I was able to get something approved that, you know, that has proven to have saved a lot of lives," Trump
Can I stop reading right there?
NO ONE had good information at the beginning.
NO ONE knew what the deep state was planning.
COVID was something new, the media was in full-blown politically motivated hysteria, NO ONE really knew what to do about it. Yes, Trump closed the country down for 14 days, but it was the governors of most of the states that locked them down for an entire year or more. Trump urged governors to reopen. I don’t know if he had the power to order them to reopen. He didn’t impose any mandates requiring people to get vaccinated, that was the governors.
Yes, he made mistakes, but given the situation, I don’t know if anyone could have handled it any better. Just think for a moment what would have happened if Hillary Clinton had been in charge.
Did he force you to get the shot? Per the information that the “experts” gave and are still giving Trump, what he said is absolutely true. Trump didn’t hire Fauci, Fouchi was in that position as the number one expert in all the world. How would Trump know more about a virus or vaccine then him? And what Trump did to get the vaccine made along with ventilators and everything else was incredible. So take the vax. don’t take it. But stop whining about Trump getting it made in record time because he never forced you to take it.
Don’t care what you say Megyn. I am still voting for Trump.
Hindsight is perfect. If he fired Fauci they would have crucified him. He was in a vice, an engineered no win box. It looks bad now but l think he was trapped. It took years for anyone to say Sweden’s approach was the right one and even now it just whispered by a few.
I was under the impression that VP Mike Pence was in charge of the Covid Task Force and that he was the one that put Fauci and Birx on the pedestal.
Then there’s this:
Fauci should never have been put forth as the leading voice when better authorities disagreed. CDC and FDA have thrown out the rules for medical recommendations and should face serious consequences.
Need a word. Combination of idiocracy and pharmacracy. That’s what this country is.
The Trump Administration’s COVID response is a prime example of how Trump talks a good game but was ineffective when it came to controlling the bureaucracy he was in charge of. They ran circles around him a lot of times.
Fair charges
I missed the interview, when was it, where is the link? Has Trump posted any whine about it yet?
We did not know how corrupt the CDC, NIAID, and pharmaceutical industry were until later.
This is where Trump is taking credit.
When Covid was released on us, we saw people stepping over dead bodies in China.
We saw people in hazmat suites fogging disinfectants on the streets in China.
It would normally take 12 years for a new drug to make it to market.
Trump did it in less than a year.

President Trump Signs Right to Try Act Into Law
Washington, D.C.—Surrounded by patients with terminal illnesses, their families, and fellow Americans who have lost loved ones to fatal diseases, President Donald Trump signed a federal Right to Try into law today, protecting terminally ill patients’ right to try medicines that have not yet been approved by the federal government for market.
“Today, we have given new hope to Americans struggling with a terminal illness,” said Victor Riches, president & CEO of the Goldwater Institute, the organization that crafted the policy and led the national effort to adopt the law. “Federal law now protects the right of dying patients to obtain and use cutting-edge medicines without asking first for government permission.”
The U.S. House and Senate passed S. 204, the Trickett Wendler, Frank Mongiello, Jordan McLinn and Matthew Bellina Right to Try Act, with bipartisan majorities. The House effort was led by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA). The Senate effort was led by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-IN).
“There is no worse feeling in the world than knowing you’re going to die with no freedom to try medicines or drugs that might actually save you,” said Tim Wendler, who lost his wife Trickett to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) three years ago. “We spent the last three years telling Trickett’s story, trying to explain how important it is to provide hope and freedom to everyone, especially those with terminal diseases. This week was very emotional for our family and every patient and their family who has worked on this bill. We watched the floor debate and vote live, and once it passed there was not a dry eye in the house. Trickett passed away prior to being able to take advantage of the bill, but she would be so grateful that from this moment forward, patients and families faced with a terminal diagnosis will never again be without hope.”
People have put so much of their ego and their hopes on this one person that if he fails, conservatism fails. It will be like GWB all over again. The Iraq war and the great recession paved the way for Obama. America changed so much because of that, it might not ever be the same again.
What matters now is President Trump a second chance.
The media made Fauci a superstar.
Trump was already standing alone against the entire Deep State, and it was politically very difficult to shelve Fauci.
Having said that, Fauci did more than anyone to bring the country to its knees. In hindsight, he was probably Trump’s worst mistake.
