It's almost as if years of relentless media saturation bombing of flat-out lies, demonisation and blaming don't help the public to understand what is actually happening.

I’m questioning if this is really a “distraction” or if Trump is just deranged, and this is the behavior of someone who is mentally diminished and I’m leaning hard towards the latter at this point.

The most generous explanation for this is that he's an idiot who just hasn't even bothered to look at how vaccines work.
The worst is that he's deliberately spreading misinformation that will put actual lives at risk, in order to please his conspiracy-theory loving base

Farage: "I believe in vaccinations when they're vaccinations. I don't think what happened with Covid were vaccinations. You have to keep having them every 6 months."
Conspiratorial nonsense.
Some vaccinations like Covid shots require multiple/seasonal doses because immunity fades & viruses change.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

For 5 years, Trump and Republicans have tried to erase and rewrite the story of January 6th — the day a violent mob stormed the Capitol and tried to overturn the 2020 election.
Now, as he continues acting like a dictator, the strength of our democracy is being tested.

How quickly he changed from, “The President of Peace” to “Bomb Don”. Almost like he has a big domestic problem he’s trying to distract us from.
