Donald Trump didn't say anything about the vaccine.
At a Saturday rally in Alaska, the reality television star tried to take credit for his role in coronaviruses vaccine development, without actually saying "vaccine", due to his own admission that his own supporters aren't into the lifesaving innovation.
We did a lot of things, but I'm not allowed to talk about it. The former President is proud of that word. It was supposed to take 5 years to 12 years, but we did it in 9 months. I don't mention it in front of my people.
There was a rally for anti-vax US house candidate SarahPalin and US senate contender Kelly Tshibaka.
"We don't have kings, but you would never know it from the amount of power Joe Biden assumes for himself," read a statement by Tshibaka in response to the Biden administration's failed attempt at a vaccine. The mandate is unconstitutional and un- American.
The vaccine has proved to be a contentious exception, though Trump seems to rarely be at odds with his base. Donald Trump and Bill O'Reilly were booed by the crowd in Dallas last year because they said they got booster shots.
It appears that Trump wants to have his cake and eat it as well.
"So totally give me credit for that thing I did that I can't mention that you refuse to take and don't want mandated that other people take that you make fun of in airports and cheesecake factory restaurants," mused one sexy twit, in response to Saturday's Is there anything I missed?
Yes, sure. I agree. It's true that Trump was president when the vaccine was invented, and his funding for Operation Warp Speed may have produced a vaccine sooner than was expected.
The Trump administration spread misinformation, suppressed the CDC's coronaviruses testing efforts, and contributed to the rise of anti-AAPI hate, vitriol, and violence.
The distrust of the vaccine by Trump's supporters is a grim irony.
The president thinks he did a good job with the response to the swine flu, and that one day the anti-vaxers will see the light.
At some point, my anti-vax supporters and I are going to have to sit down and have a discussion. You know what, but you don't? We did a really good job.
Donald Trump is angry that he was Lied to.
