The short answer to your last question is, No. Trump has doggedly proclaimed the jab as a great accomplishment, even when he's gotten boos and negative responses at his rallies. Trump's biggest failings are his ego and his pride. He was played, and played hard during the Covid madness, and he still won't pivot. If he won't get out ahead of this now, then frankly, he deserves to be taken out of contention. I don't fully trust DeSantis, but he has shown a much more adroit method for dealing with the Haters.

I was wondering when that would happen. And, it happened when Covid is over and no one wants any more vax. Biden can't blame Trump, while Biden is telling everyone how effective it is.

In addition to JD and Alex, Dr. Paul Alexander has been imploring President Trump for weeks to own up to his poor decisions regarding the Chinese Flu, "vaccines" for weeks. Undoubtedly, Fauci, Birx, et al conned President Trump into making the wrong choices. But, he also had better choices given to him by other advisors. This shows the lack of ability to make sound decisions which Trump seems to suffer from. Aside from the bad decision making, he also suffers from being unable to manage his massive ego. These two things will probably prevent him from admitting that he was wrong. The poor decision making and uncontrolled ego will likely cause a large percentage of his base to question supporting him for another term. Maybe it's time for Trump to retire from politics and leave the country's salvation to another strong conservative, perhaps Governor DeSantis.

I agree JD, and I lost a lot of love for him because of Operation Warp Speed.

Trump should embrace the "blame" because it gives him and out for turning against the "vaccines." "Everybody was wrong, but the pressure was enormous..."
