Trump 'Imagines' How People Would Squawk Had COVID-19 'Attack' Erupted On His Watch

Former President   Donald Trump   suggested in an interview that critics would have been so much harder on him than on President   Joe Biden   had there been a COVID-19 “attack” on his watch like the one occurring now.

In fact, there was a COVID-19 “attack” — a pandemic, in fact — when he was president.

But Trump compared the coronavirus last year to little more than a  case of the flu , and insisted 18 months ago that cases within days would go down  “close to zero .” The U.S. ended up tallying  25 million cases of COVID-19,  and  deaths topped 400,000  by the end of his administration.

He seemed to forget that part when he called in Saturday night to   Fox News   host   Dan Bongino

“Could you imagine if I were president right now and we had this massive attack from the coronavirus?” he asked. “If that were me, they would say, ‘What a horrible thing, what a horrible job.’ And I don’t ever hear that.” 


Many of the rest of his comments were also confusing, including the one following his “imagine” remark: “You know now they like to call it the, they have new names and they’ll have other new names, but it’s exactly what we had, we had the same thing.” The phrase he was likely searching for was the “delta variant” of the coronavirus. At least he acknowledged it’s similar to “what we had” during his administration.


He also bragged about getting vaccines — which were created by private companies — “done so quickly.“ He claimed to be a “big fan” of both vaccines and “our freedoms.”

“I’m a fan of our freedoms, and people have to make that choice for themselves. And I would recommend that they get it and they get it done and they’re being protected. And the vaccines turned out to be a tremendous thing. And I also though feel strongly   there are some people who do not want to do it , and I really believe in somebody’s choice, somebody’s freedom, and that’s the way it is,” he said, referring yet again to the “China virus.”

Last May, Trump indicated that vaccines weren’t all that important. 

“I feel about vaccines like I feel about tests,” he said. “ This is going to go away without a vaccine . It’s gonna go away, and we’re not going to see it again.”

It's true - the Turd Reich and all his trumpturdian enablers/supporters reside in a Bizarro world alternate reality.

We dont have to imagine. We lived through it. You didnt handle it very well
A lot of 'us' didn't live through it.  Over 500,000 dead and still dying thanks to the ignorance of him and his supporters/enablers.

Layers of sick. Trump politicized the pandemic and spread the virus while campaigning after letting it rage in blue states/downplaying it. He then caught it, ignored it to spark insurrection/let it spike a 3rd time, then GOP governors pushed us into 4th wave so he could blame Joe

The Trumpbublican messaging on COVID is all over the place. Blame Biden isn't handling it well and then pass a state law against COVID protections. As we can see in new polls this isn't working out well for those state Governors and the GOP. To keep shedding moderate voters and lawmakers by doubling down on stupid isn't going to be a winning strategy for the mid-terms and beyond.
