Totally agree, and I say this as someone who supported President Trump in 2016 and 2020. Why not just admit that there were some mistakes with the response, and mention that they won’t ever happen again should he become President again.
I mean, he’s still much better than any Democrat, but I’d prefer to have the opportunity to vote for some other Republican this time around. Voting for Joe Biden (lol) is not an option - I care too much about our country to do that.
I agree, but he would never do that.
It wouldn't be following what he learned from Roy Cohn and from his father
Trump listened to the "experts." Who else should he have listened too?
And like he said, it was the beginning of the pandemic and no one really knew the facts. Everything he was told pointed to a massive pandemic and high death rate, so he acted with that assumption.
He's delusional. His COVID response, listening to the politically-motivated liars at the CDC and NIH, is disqualifying to me. At least for the primary.
I would really prefer not to have to vote for him again in a general election. We need someone like Ron DeSantis or even Haley or Scott.
Then why is he lying about it now? He gave Fauci a presidential commendation and is now saying he didn't. On camera. When there is video of him doing so. He is either incredibly stupid or he is losing his mental faculties. Or--and this is probably the real truth--he knows his supporters are so stupid they will say the actual video of him giving Fauci the commendation is FAKE NEWS!
So where is this video of him giving Fauci a Presidential Commendation?
Here is the "Presidential Commendation" he gave Fauci.
It was issued on his last day in office and was in relation to Operation Warp Speed. You remember the same program that created the Trump Vaccine that the Democrats said they would never trust. On his last day, he was pretty much persona non grata in DC so I doubt any politician including Fauci would have wanted to be seen with him or be awarded anything by him. So if you have a link to a Video, it would be great to see.
This commendation called out a total of 52 people, with Fauci being one of those people. It doesn't appear he called out Fauci specifically. But again, would be happy to see a video. So this seems like a bit of a stretch to call this a lie when you have Democrats defending Biden forgetting what he said a week ago.
Not that this means I agree with Trump that he did a great job on COVID, honestly I think he started at about a B+ and by the end was a solid F.
I think Trump did exactly what most other world leaders did in the early days of Covid, plus he went out of his way in gathering the supplies and supporting vaccine development that everyone was convinced we needed.
Anything else people have to say about it is just hindsight speaking and doesn't mean much. If folks want to hate him they should at least have sound reasons and not just recycled soundbites from pundents who know even less than them
It was an unprecedented time. Mistakes might be understandable, but he should own them and tell us he's learned something from them, and he's not good at that.

Trump has never took responsibility for anything in his life he always passes the buck to someone else.
He will have to say he has Dementia to get out of that lie.
Not really. Trump doesn't try to get out of any lies, he just repeats them over and over and over again, until his peeps believe him. Remember, "Don't believe what your eyes see or what your ears are hearing," (or something to that effect).
