Trump admits he suddenly finds it 'very tough' to slam Biden after surprising vaccine comments

[demmiblue]

...

Trump, in an interview with Fox News the same evening, said he was both “surprised” and “appreciative” of the president's acknowledgment, adding it is difficult to criticize Biden after receiving recognition.

"It is a little tough to be overly critical now because he just thanked us for the vaccine and thanked me for what I did," Trump reportedly said. "You know, that's a first — so it is very tough for me to be overly critical now."

The 45th president continued that he believes Biden’s remarks “were a terrific thing” that will “make a lot of people happy.”

"I think he did something very good," Trump said. "You know, it has to be a process of healing in this country, and that will help a lot."

Trump told Fox News that he has received a booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, which Biden acknowledged in his speech, and encouraged people to “embrace” vaccination. But he was critical of vaccine mandates.

Trump pushes back on Candace Owens: 'People aren't dying when they take the vaccine'

Former President Trump in an interview with conservative media personality Candace Owens pushed back over her claims undermining the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

...

“Yet more people have died under COVID this year,” Owens told Trump. “By the way, under Joe Biden, than under you and more people took the vaccine this year. So people are questioning how—”

“Oh no, the vaccines work, but some people aren’t the ones. The ones who get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don’t take the vaccine. But it’s still their choice. And if you take the vaccine, you’re protected,” Trump told Owens.

“Look, the results of the vaccine are very good, and if you do get it, it’s a very minor form,” Trump continued. “People aren’t dying when they take the vaccine.”

Whatever it takes.

1. As Xi and Putin discovered, flatter him and his ultra-fragile ego....

..... and you can get him to do anything.

[dflprincess]

2. He's also probably hoping if he pretends to be nicer

Biden will stop any and all investigations.

Trump thinks everyone is like him. All you have to do is flatter them and they'll think he's a friend.

4. Biden has the power of a federal pardon. nt

3. Exactly.

He'll probably be buried with Kim Jong-un's beautiful love letters!

6. Yes narcissists are fueled by flattery and adoration.

So your explanation is a good one for his current mood.

So much going on here. Lol!

13. She just repeats disconnected talking points. Reminds of the election BS about votes at 10PM

They don’t have an honest bone in their bodies. Math is hard too.

14. Owen seems desparate to get Trump to say what she wants him to.

Between listening to the two of the them I feel like I need to kill myself. Pray for our country.

10. I swear I thought this was The Onion.

11. Advisers told him he still needs to win suburban women - "healing" and "vaccine promotion"

are the keys to 2024.

He's nothing if not on message.

12. Maybe TFG needs to follow his own advice.

"I think he did something very good," Trump said. "You know, it has to be a process of healing in this country, and that will help a lot."

We could have avoided a lot of sicknesses, deaths and division in this country if TFG had been truthful from the beginning.
