Trump’s gaslighting on COVID lockdowns is finally called out in Megyn Kelly interview
Lifesite News ^ | 10/20/2023 | Jeffrey A. Tucker

Posted on 09/21/2023 8:43:54 PM PDT by KierkegaardMAN

One reporter has proven brave enough not to take the deal. The deal is: you can interview Trump provided you don’t ask perfectly obvious questions about his COVID response that shredded the Bill of Rights, wrecked his presidency, enabled mass mail-in ballots, elevated agencies to the status of dictators, and kicked off the biggest national crisis of our lifetimes from which we aren’t even close to recovering.

We still do not know when or if we will get the Constitution back. Inflation still rages, education nationwide is slipping more by the day, there is a resulting crime epidemic, and the cultural demoralization is like nothing we’ve ever seen – which is what happens when leaders dare to imagine that their power and prowess is some kind of match for the microbial kingdom.

My belief is that he chose the Covid response that was among the least damaging politically.

Covid was introduced to destroy him before the 2020 "election".

If Trump had made them "Talk To The Hand", the Establishment would have gleefully killed more people to hang the deaths on him with a full-throated Media campaign of hate and foam-flecked spittle.

You could say he actually saved lives.

Not really since the governors locked down the states.

It’s called spin. Every politician does it. Every single one. Maybe George Washington was spin free?

A good question today is, “Mr. Trump, knowing what you know today, how would you handle a pandemic? What would you do the same or differently?”

I clearly recall that there was a very small minority of people that didn’t just go along with what the experts said. Rights be damned. There are only a principled few in America that put their rights above their fears.

“Not really since the governors locked down the states.”

And the state legislatures enabled the mail-in ballots, as it’s not a federal power. So this is another BS article.

I like a lot of what Megyn has done, but lately she’s gone off the rails, especially regarding the hoopla surrounding Russell Brand. I finally had to “unfollow” her.

IMHO, President Trump acted on the best information he had at the time - that COVID was the result of a release from a Chicom biowarfare laboratory in Wuhan. Virility unknown, mutability unknown. Purpose unknown.

My governor shut my state down. Trump didn’t.

There seems to be a lot of revisionist history being talked about.

Yes Trump acted on the information he had at the time.

We all have a clearer view of Dr Fauci now than we did 3 years ago.

Some people say Trump should have fired Dr. Fauci. If he had done so he would have been impeached for that. Dr fauci had this reputation as being the nation’s greatest expert on diseases and pandemics. There is no way Trump could have fired him.

They would have murdered more people than they did, and their Media would have screamed “TRUMP MURDERED THESE PEOPLE!!!”.

The people at the top knew it was a fraud, based on the science that was showing up very early. Don’t tell me Trump didn’t know too.

I don’t like the way Trump handled Covid then, and it took him a long time to realize that he was ‘rolled’ by the ‘Big Pharma’ and Medical system....

But don’t forget, PENCE was the Covid Czar.

And Yeah, Trump screwed up first by trusting Pence, but I’m still voting for him (assuming the Establishment doesn’t assassinate him before voting day) hoping he is no longer so naive politically.

Many defend Trump for initially acting on the best on the best information available. This doesn’t excuse is his continued front-and-center reliance on Fauci, awarding him, and now his re-writing of history. Sad that he cannot own up to the evolution of it all, has to resort to lies and insults.

It's also a lie.

Donald John Trump never closed anything down.

There were 7 states that never closed down:

Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, & Wyoming.

7 governors still haven’t issued stay-at-home orders. Here’s why.

States run their own elections. Donald Trump could do nothing about states & mail-in voting. Elections are run by the state legislatures, it was their responsibility to take their governor's to court to stop the mail-in balloting.

But they didn't because the GOPe was in on the election theft as they wanted Trump out of office as badly as the Democrats did because Trump was destroying their gravy train feeding trough that was being used to fleece the people.

Which is why so many people are homeless and the middle class is disappearing at an incredible rate.

Sounds like you’re confusing Trump with DeSantis -—

These short videos show exactly how DeSantis reacted to Fauci — and Trump’s leadership:

Praise and gratitude video:
https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1699811180380909774

Two years ago today, @GovRonDeSantis became a “Lockdown Governor” when he issued a stay-at-home order for Floridians.”. (Listen to what RDS says about his explaining the lockdown to President Trump toward the end of the video)
https://twitter.com/sfdb/status/1509857474903527437

Here’s video of DeSantis in June 2020 calling Fauci’s directives “important” & threatening to revoke licenses of FL businesses that didn’t comply.” (Video)
https://twitter.com/LauraLoomer/status/1632477718351675393

And ....

Lockdowns. Armed Checkpoints. School Shutdowns. Beach and Business Closures. (Video)
https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1641192739323650048

Ron DeSantis supported vaccines and strongly pushed them well after Trump left office. Here’s Ronny on Jul 22, 2021 (Video)

👍👍👍 Each governor made the decision. Worth repeating --- often!

This has been rehashed about President Trump.
He at the Time was faced with a pandemic!

Hindsight is fine but judging him as if he acted alone is wrong,
He Trusted his VP Pence to bring in Fauci!

AGAIN President Trump brought in many Doctors with differing views over Fauci and that's a Fact! All this is yet another way for MEG or any of you to second guess or lay blame at President Trump!

Regardless it was done and he's not making excuses ,just stating what he did!
The VAX Mandates and boosters is under the Biden regime!
So I'll go with the MAN versus some gotcha has been Megan Kelly that all forgot about until Trump Gave her a interview!

Maybe,because she's on NewsMAX as a guest...Who Knows!
Trump is better at talking to the People of this Country instead of trusting the media!
Megan tried twice and she'll become irrelevant again..except the few on NewsMAX that she can talk how great she was interviewing Trump!

She's a Joke and the only one that cares what she thinks is the few on here and....the illegals crossing the border as we speak! ;)
