Former President Donald Trump ranted against vaccine booster shots and falsely insisted that the Covid-19 virus was "virtually gone" when he left office.

During an interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo on Wednesday, Trump said that he was "proud" to have taken the Covid vaccine.

"When I was president, you didn't have this problem with people not wanting to take it," he said. "They don't take it because they don't trust Biden and they don't trust the Biden administration. When I was president, you didn't have people protesting the vaccine."

"He's now president and he's doing a lousy job with coronavirus," the former president continued. "Coronavirus is back. If that ever happened to me where it came back, ok, when I left it was virtually gone. It was over. Now it's coming back through the delta [variant] and I don't know if you even want to call it that. All you call it is the China virus."

According to the CDC, Covid-19 cases were peaking in the United States when Trump left office.

Trump also expressed doubt about the need for vaccine booster shots.

"That sounds to me like a money-making operation from Pfizer," Trump opined. "Think of the money involved. A booster shot, that's tens of billions of dollars. How good of business is that? If you're a businessman, you say, 'You know what? Let's give them another shot.'"

"You wouldn't think you would need a booster," he added. "When these first came out, they were good for life. Then they were good for a year or two. And I could see the writing on the wall, you could see the dollar signs in their eyes."

This just proves that your followers are not all that intelligent. It's the same vaccine under both Trump and Biden, but for anyone to say they don't trust the vaccine because of the president they are only putting their political bias ahead of everything rational...

 

Trump at least straight up lies, I can live with that ! The rest, covertly lie, a far more treacherous offense !

 

I never liked Trump. It has only been since he was president that I realized how thoroughly loathsome he is.

 

Since you don't get it, everybody knows what Trump lies about, he doesn't lie about everything, but he doesn't try to hide it, maybe even believes it ! Biden however lies and leads you to believe he isn't !

Quote several of President Biden's lies. Prove that he said them, and that they are lies.

 

Traitor Trump is getting more panicked by the day as he feels the J6 committee closing in on him and his treasonous conservative/Republicans. So just like Gobbles he thinks if he tells the lie often enough someone might believe him.


Fact check: Trump repeats false claim that Pelosi rejected request for National Guard ahead of Jan. 6

In this article:
The claim: Nancy Pelosi rejected Donald Trump's request for 10,000 National Guard troops to be deployed before Jan. 6

As a House committee continues its investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and former President Donald Trump goes on a speaking tour, debunked narratives about the deadly insurrection are resurfacing on social media.

Reports show military and law enforcement officials were unprepared and slow to respond to the riot. Trump has repeatedly attempted to blame that on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., claiming she rejected his request to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops to the Capitol ahead of his “Stop the Steal” rally.

Trump’s claim is one of many efforts by Republicans and supporters of the former president to shift blame and downplay the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol that resulted in four deaths and led to more than 600 arrests.

“Trump Says Pelosi Turned Down His Request For 10,000 National Guard Troops For Jan. 6 Rally…!!!” reads the caption of a Dec. 13 Facebook video that accumulated more than 4,000 views within a couple days.


The video included in the post shows Trump speaking to a crowd on Dec. 11 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he claimed he recommended 10,000 National Guard troops be deployed because he knew the crowd size was going to be "enormous."

“I recommended 10 but I said do whatever they want, they’re running the Capitol, they know what they’re doing,” Trump says in the video. “And the Capitol police knew about it, she (Pelosi) knew about it, and they turned it down because they said it didn’t look good.”

But Trump’s claim was debunked by fact-checkers in March, after he first made the statement during a Fox News appearance, and it’s still not true. There is no evidence Trump made any formal request about deploying 10,000 National Guard troops before the rally.


USA TODAY reached out to Trump’s spokesperson and the Facebook page that shared the video for additional comment.

No record of the request
A government memo about the events leading up to Jan. 6, statements from Pelosi’s office and the Pentagon and testimony from the former House sergeant-at-arms show Trump did not request 10,000 troops ahead of the rally.

Drew Hammill, Pelosi's spokesperson, told USA TODAY that Pelosi’s office was not consulted or contacted regarding any request for the National Guard ahead of Jan. 6, and he noted the speaker of the House does not have the power to reject that type of request.

Claims that Pelosi was in charge of Capitol security on Jan. 6 have been previously debunked by USA TODAY. The Capitol Police are overseen by the Capitol Police Board and committees from the Senate and House of Representatives.



Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby had previously looked into Trump’s claim and told The Washington Post in March that “we have no record of such an order being given.”

A timeline from the Department of Defense only mentions an agreement made on Jan. 4 about potentially providing 340 District of Columbia National Guard members at the request of D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to support traffic control points and to deploy a quick reaction force “if additional support is requested by civilian authorities.”

Additionally, when asked by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, during a Feb. 23 Senate hearing if discussions took place on Jan. 4 with congressional leadership about bringing in the National Guard, former House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving said he "had no follow up conversations."

"It was not until the sixth that I alerted leadership that we might be making a request," Irving said. "And that was the end of the discussion."


While Trump never formally requested 10,000 National Guard troops, then-acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller told Vanity Fair that Trump brought up the figure in conversation on the night before Jan. 6.

Our rating: False
Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that Pelosi rejected Trump's request for 10,000 National Guard troops to be deployed before Jan. 6. Pelosi's office said the speaker was not contacted about deploying the National Guard prior to the rally, and the Pentagon has previously stated that there is no record of the request. A timeline from the Department of Defense about the events leading up to Jan. 6 does not include any mention of a request for 10,000 National Guard members. The former House sergeant-at-arms said he did not have any discussions with congressional leaders about the National Guard until the day of the riot.

Isn't this speaking tour with Bill O'Reilly?

You do know that these dam Vax are not FDA Approved right ...didn't no if you new just throwing it out there

 

Come on, stumbler, you know that when you post things from RawStory that it immediately paralyzes anyone who might disagree with you from looking things up! Give them a fighting chance to get out of the paper bag they've encased themselves with! I mean, it goes so far in it's insidiousness that it would burn their eyes if they were to ever watch the Fox Business video, either!

You should be ashamed of yourself and the pain you've inflicted on these innocent child-like Trumpers! May God bless their souls and save them from us!

 

So the LIAR in Chief is losing his touch.
He should know that there are actually records or lack there of, to support or deny request for the deployment of troops.

 

Stop it, stop it! The guys will have to change their diapers!

They don't have to read them. There is such a thing as reality. It happens every second of every day. And sure you can chose to dwell in your own little snowflake plastic bubble where truth, facts, reason and logic cannot penetrate lest the bubble burst. But what I do is document reality. And they don't even have to look at it. But they can't help knowing its there.

 

[Lol an your all about communism so u would rather have. No rights to nothing an told what to do an when an what to think ...... lol an it's fact that the mainstream media has done nothing but lied and >>> make up false narrative propaganda just to make the right look like bigots an racist ...when the radical left are erasing history...there own history ...don't forget the founders of the KKK we're all democrats...

I must concede the underlying perception that even those who presume to be the tribunes and protectors of "democratic liberties" are wolves of equal-IF NOT GREATER-perfidy that those on whom they project malignant intent. I read a post on Twitter that stated 'History will be changed and made only by the masses total intervention" [not by some hierarchical or sole unitary concentration of power].

Who are these "masses"?? Though there exists a common human transactional and benevolent bond between any two strangers, that commonality, breaks down into a heterodox of the pluralistic beyond the transactional moment. Within that present moment one can envision such a commonality. When put in context with the past and future individual and group-interests, that commonality dissolves into its alchemistry of divergences that are irreconcilable.

What CAN be done, substantively, on more than a passing and casual superficial social transaction? One suggestion would be an emotional investment within a project of mutual short-term and long term potential. That may provide an equivalency to the 'in-the-moment-commonality-of- humanity' as a better intellectual and emotional basis for any social-to-civic cohesion than the present conceptual bludgeoning of each other I've likened to the poor beast of a horse in Dostoevsky's 'Crime and Punishment'.

 

As Dr Lance Dodes noted most people lie to try and gain some kind of advantage. But in Trump's case his lies are often dangerous and destructive to him. But he can't stop. And that is how we know we are dealing with psychosis.


Trump Spouts More Lies While Announcing Presser for Jan. 6 Anniversary

Former President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he’ll be commemorating the one-year anniversary of the Capitol riots with—what else—a press conference at Mar-a-Lago. In a lie-filled statement, Trump said he plans to address the “unarmed protest” and then noted various election conspiracy theories that spurred hundreds of MAGA rioters to storm the Capitol in the first place. “Why isn’t the Unselect Committee of highly partisan political hacks investigating the CAUSE of the January 6th protest, which was the rigged Presidential Election of 2020?” Trump wrote. “Does anybody notice that they want to stay as far away from that topic as possible, the numbers don’t work for them, or even come close. The only thing they can do is not talk about it.” The statement ends with Trump’s insistence that the real “the insurrection took place on November 3rd, it was the completely unarmed protest of the rigged election that took place on January 6th.” So far, more than 700 people have been charged with crimes in connection with the Capitol riot—and 151 have pleaded guilty.

“Any thing you say, CAN or WILL be USED against you.”

He doesn’t need to be under arrest, to keep his mouth SHUT.

My dad’s favorite advice is: “little said, is easy mended”

 

Its classic Trump to try and attack in the opposite direction and fly in the face of the evidence. But it is also panic at this point because he can feel the J6 committee closing in on him and his inner circle.

And I know I keep getting stunned by how much evidence and cooperation they are getting. And just think if that is what they are willing to release how much more evidence do they have. And will probably get a lot more because people in Trump's inner circle didn't realize they were committing felonies. Nothing like felonies to loosen tongues.

 

Treachery and Tyranny and the path to the Magna Carta. Treachery means lies, deception, ignorance. God means all-knowing or infinite knowledge and wisdom. The Anti-Christ means anti-knowledge and wisdom or Satan, Devil, and so on. Opinion in Latin means ignorant men and women. It is impossible for any human being from the beginning of time to today is in fact ignorant. In the Bible, those with Hubris are Evil, the ignorant. This was renamed Narcissism by Sigmund Freud. They have a God complex and think of themselves as knowing everything when in fact they are the dumbest in the world and the root of all human suffering. Everything mankind says, thinks, writes, or does is based on ignorance. Every writing, speech and thought has to be questioned, there is no way around this. Take the word Constitution what does it really mean? Beliefs are lies, for example, the earth is flat. Who said the earth was flat and the response was God did. This makes the Bible suspicious. How many people will spend the time seeking the truth as Jesus and God intended? From the definition above we can say that there is no real God, but what they were thinking is the truth has to our there for everyone. God is earth and the Universe and mother earth is our soil. Psychopaths want you to believe those with Hubris and narcissists have all of the answers. Now take a good look into COVID-19, it is impossible to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Justice means, just means truth and the suffix ice means state and quality. You can not and will not convince a psychopath that what he knows is nothing more than a lie. Science means knowledge, and is nothing more than a guess, theories means The word ‘theory’ derives from the Greek ‘theorein’, which means ‘to look at’. According to some sources, it was used frequently in terms of ‘looking at’ a theatre stage, which may explain why sometimes the word ‘theory’ is used as something provisional or not completely resembling real. So how do you prove a guess?

 

Fuck Trump can't wait till he disappears !
