Why is Trump still saying this was ‘the greatest success ever’ ?

From the perspective of being able to produce some product that is vital to national security, it was a systematic success.

It's just that in this case the assumption that the particular product it produced was vital, was wrong.

I do not know. Aside from his unbridled devotion to the principle -never apologize.

Dude cannot admit mistakes. Ever. It’s his Achilles heel.

As far as I know, DJT has always believed the “vaccines” were great.

The Dems subsequently taking full advantage to clamp down on society is a separate issue.

No President should ever admit to making a mistake because the opposition will never let it go. It’s the opposite of strong leadership.

True narcissists never admit to making poor judgements. They simply double down.

True MAGA believers believe all of the foolishness he spews.

True American first (remember the tea party?) have seen him pivot on inflation, adding to debt, no new wars, enhancing surveillance on Americans, and strengthening our relationship with allies.

I’m still baffled by his praise of it before election and then constant bitching about the Trump shot by Democrats during the lead up to the election.

Then after the election Biden and Democrats went from “we never should taking the shot to we are mandating it” WTF


quote:

Prior to the 2020 election, Democrats expressed skepticism about the timeline of a potential COVID-19 vaccine, questioning whether the Trump administration would pressure scientists to rush an unsafe approval for political gain. After the election, once the Biden administration took office, their messaging shifted entirely to promoting widespread vaccine uptake, pushing aggressive rollouts, and eventually implementing vaccine mandates.

Democrats? This seems a little simplistic. Why is everything so black and white here?

I am starting to understand why superhero movies are so popular!! I can’t wait to see Spider-Man 12!

Because the government marshalled our industrial capacity to create something in response to an emergency at breakneck speed, something we have rarely done since WW2.

Leadership? Doesn’t that mean people want to follow you? You lead right?

If I’m around someone who never ever admits to a mistake and think every decision they have ever made in life is right and there is non discussion. I’m
Probably not going to just follow along! I guess you find that appealing and just shut your mouth and do what your told. Weird “leadership” definition. Maybe read Harry Truman or George Washington. Different styles out there to be a leader.

Not apologizing obviously works for him. He is one of the most successful and accomplished human in all of human history.

Who gets to officially decide whether something’s a mistake or not? Because some nutcakes on an anonymous internet message board say so?

To be fair though, when was the last time you ever heard a President admit a mistake?

He listened to our despicable experts, like Fauci, and got things done and got them done quickly and efficiently. I don't hold his faith in despicable experts against him.

A lot of conservatives have short memories. They don't remember how most of this board supported lockdowns in the beginning. Most won't admit it, but I remember being shocked with the number of conservatives who bought into the fear during Jan-Mar.

They don't remember most on this board repeating the "novel" claim and therefore we didn't know how to handle this flu-like virus at the time.

Most woke up quickly, but only a handful were calling out the BS from the very beginning.

They also don't seem to remember that democrats and media were demanding lockdowns until a vax was created. Without Trump implementing Operation Warp Speed, lockdowns would have dragged on and the economy would have taken an even bigger hit.

The vax gave republican governors the political cover to open up earlier. I'm not sure why this is always overlooked by the conservatives Monday morning quarterbacking the pandemic, but it is.

Add in that conservatives are still complaining about reduced government regulations to attack the leader of the party right before midterms, and we are in bizarro world again 6 years later.
