COVID Elephant Stomps On Trump 2024 Party - But There Is Still A Way To Make The Elephant Dance
Some Trump faithful want an apology, but most want COVID Hearings.
The COVID Elephant in the room at Mar-A-Lago deadens Trump’s 2024 Presidential candidacy announcement.
Former Presidential Donald Trump set the stage well for his 2024 Presidential Bid announcement on Tuesday, November 15th, 2022.
His faithful were ready to forgive him for Operation Warp speed, but not forget. Instead of addressing the COVID elephant in the room, he sidestepped his handling of the COVID crisis with Operation Warp Speed by simply saying he recovered the economy well after COVID.
Most of the Trump Faithful who heard Trump’s 2024 Presidential Candidacy speech were ready to forgive Trump if he called Operation Warp Speed a mistake. He didn’t.
Most of the Trump faithful tuned into the first minutes of the much-touted “big announcement” Tuesday night speech, hoping to hear Trump admit he was misled by experts on COVID, and express some contrition for diving headlong into mass vaccinations. But the moment of contrition never came, and the audience steadily dwindled away, seemingly resigned that the last chance for Trump had been squandered.
Trump seemed to squander the last chance to admit he was misled by “experts” in pushing Operation Warp Speed in his Presidential Candidacy announcement.
In a rare misread of audience sentiment by Trump, the former President ticked off his economic accomplishments in his four years in the Oval Office, but his audience wanted at least an extended apology for COVID mass vaccination. Most of the faithful wanted to hear about investigations into the source of COVID and Congressional Hearings into the handling of the crisis.
Trump’s audience for the 2024 Presidential Candidacy seemed disappointed Trump didn’t strike out at COVID “experts” that led the US into rushed, mass vaccinations.
Some victims of the COVID crisis even wanted reprisals in the form of the second round of Nuremberg trials, but most in the audience just seem to want open and honest hearings into what went wrong. All seemed to agree it should never be allowed to happen again. The Trump followers had replaced the “Closed Because Of COVID” sign in their mind with the “Never Again” sign it seemed.
Trump’s supporters did not hear what they wanted to hear for Trump in his 2024 Presidential Candidacy bid.
Can Trump regain his footing with his base in the days ahead? It is difficult to see how his base will get past Trump’s intransigence to admit fault in pursuing Operation Warp Speed. Anything short of Trump becoming the strongest advocate for COVID Congressional Hearings seems destined to fall short of the mark of what the Trump Body Politik wants.
The victims of COVID seem to be looking for a leader that will declare mass vaccinations a mistake, and initiate Congressional Hearings.
For now, we will have to see if another leader emerges on the scene that will take up the mantle of the COVID victims and the disenfranchised. Right now, that voting block is convinced Trump is not their man for that message.
Senator Rand Paul made pre-election promises to hold COVID probes if Republicans controlled the US Senate. This appears unlikely as of November 16th, 2022.
Republicans have a strong chance to gain control of the US House of Representatives as of November 16th, 2022, possibly triggering COVID Hearings
I will never believe he was mislead by Covid. We have all seen the patents and the evidence that covid was planned way in advance. Yes it was planned even before he was in office so I don't pin that on him but he can't just sweep in under the rug. He absolutely knew what was going on. I will not trust any candidate until they come clean with it all. I don't want an apology. I want the truth.
Another sign the shit-show we call American politics is dead. We're watching its last gasps IMO. I listened for 5 minutes. Yawn.
We don't need to keep this charade going do we? Elections are rigged, no accountability, governments operation outside of the Constitution... We're screwed until enough of us, say enough and walk away.
