I agree. Trump totally botched the covid response and supporters seem to forget it. Flatten the curve and two weeks to slow the spread started under TRUMP. Then he called himself the father of the vaccine and couldn’t back away from vax support. I believe that played into his ego, though.

Secondly, I cringe when I hear medical freedom. I think it minimizes all our freedoms. We are granted freedom in our bill of rights. The government tried to remove our freedom and each of the unAmerican talking heads in the twitter video should be tried for civil rights violations. Lock them up.

I'm certainly willing to give Trump some slack on the initial mistakes, the lies were everywhere and it took a while to sort things out.

What is really concerning is that he has never admitted he screwed up. I get it as he views this as a weakness his foes will exploit and he never admits he made a mistake for anything. However, without that we have no reason to know if he really learned from the first term and will do anything different. All we hear is that he was surrounded by snakes (snakes that he appointed or promoted) as if they somehow showed up by magic. It's not reassuring.

I actually wonder if he will make some sort of admission on the campaign trail. Something like “I trusted the medical

professionals, public health team, and the CIA, I was duped just as you were and it won’t happen again. I have my guard up!”

Maybe I can interject this here as somehow, in my lost-logic, it seems applicable:

It would be a wrong political move. Atleast this is one thing the vaxx loving demoncrats can't hit him about.

I thought the great thing about Trump was “he’s not a politician.”

So he cares more about how he looks than doing the right thing?

at this point what President Trump can say is he wouldn't mandate the jab.

at least i don't know his position on mandating the jab....

The Bill of Rights recognized our God given freedoms and placed limits on the government on infringing upon them. Governments cannot grant natural rights, they can only infringe upon them.

There is a difference between natural rights and civil rights. Natural rights, as recognized in the Bill of Rights, are ours by birthright. Civil rights, on the other hand, exist because of the formation of societies and the agreement of people in them to allow government to manage those civil rights; voting is an example.

Natural rights are universal and theistic, orderly, benevolent and proper whereas a Darwinian Atheistic view of "naturalistic" rights is amoral, brutal and subjective, exploitative, and enslaving.

That's a differentiation I have never come across before.
