Donald Trump posted a response last night on Truth Social to Joe Biden's remarks about the pandemic, and he is getting absolutely destroyed in the replies by his own MAGA supporters.
MAGA is almost 100% anti-vax. It is one of the reasons why so many of them also like anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist RFK Jr., who became a MAGA celebrity during the pandemic. Trump has always desperately wanted to claim that his "Operation Warp Speed" to push out the vaccine quickly saved hundreds of millions of lives. Setting aside the merits of his argument that HE is the one responsible, Trump believes that claiming credit for the vaccines will cement his place in history as a great president and leader. There is just one problem for the malignant narcissist that drives him nuts - his supporters hate it.

When Biden was talking about how much of a mess he inherited from the Trump Admin during the worst of the pandemic, Trump fired off a post saying that he is the one who saved America with the vaccines.
Trump was live-posting his "responses" during Biden's speech last night. There were dozens and dozens of them minutes apart. When I was going through them this afternoon, I noticed that one post had far more engagement than any other - especially in the replies which were up to 4,380. That is a massive number of replies on Truth Social for a Trump tweet. When I read the replies, every single one was attacking Trump for the post, and every single one was a Trump supporter.

From Shakespeare's Hamlet telling of a bombmaker who is blown up by his own device.
Seems fitting.

(196,490 posts)7. All his court drama has diverted attention from his disastrous handling of COVID
and now the cult (who followed him down that path) wont let him take credit for it.
The oddest thing is that if his cult had worn masks WHEN IT WAS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE TO DO on January 6th, way less than the 1,300 people whove been convicted would have been identified.
Since we are on this topic let me add this.

So how pathetic is it to be destroyed on your own goddamn platform?
