To Win, Trump Must Repent on the Vax. Reagan Repented: A Sign Not of Weakness But Strength

If Donald Trump really wants to win this year’s presidential election, there’s one thing he needs to do. It goes against his nature. (I know this because, like him, I hail from Queens, New York, whose unofficial motto is “Never Apologize, Never Explain.” Another popular phrase: “Whadda I care what people think? Do they pay my rent? DO. THEY. PAY. MY. RENT?”)

Showing weakness among guys from Queens is an invitation to getting bullied, harassed, and despised. And no, you never grow out of it, as I can testify with my 60th birthday coming into sight. (Maybe that confession will make you think less of me. Do you pay my rent?)

But back to my point: Donald Trump needs to admit that he was wrong. That he made a mistake, that he got played, that he was lied to and believed it, that he took catastrophic advice. He doesn’t like doing that. It’s hard to get him to admit that he screwed up picking people who’d go on to stab him in the back, from Mike Pence to Nikki Haley, or that it was a mistake to let those backstabbers knife his real allies, like Gen. Mike Flynn and Steve Bannon.

But if Trump wants to energize his base, steal at least half of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s voters in nail-biter swing states, and put himself on the right side of history, he needs to swallow hard and say it: “I was wrong about the COVID vaccine. I got lied to. We all got lied to, by sneaky little frauds like Anthony Fauci.”

The most enthusiastic Trump supporters also happen to be those of us who resisted the vaccine mandates — who rejected a rushed, untested, abortion-based gene therapy forced on billions while it was still labeled “experimental.” The same people who won’t buy the media gaslighting that Trump is a legitimately “convicted felon” are the ones who risked their jobs, defied their pastors, and in some cases, lost their pensions rather than serve as lab rats in a global game of medical Russian Roulette. The most fervent defenders of Trump, from Steve Bannon to Eric Metaxas, are vocal critics of the Dead Baby Vaccine for a wide array of reasons — both medical and moral.

So far, Trump has doubled down on the vaccine issue, foolishly boasting how quickly he was able to get that dangerous concoction past the safety protocols which should have red-flagged it and gotten it shelved. As Newsweek reported just three months ago:

In one post, Trump quoted Biden on the COVID-19 vaccine and then took credit for accelerating the vaccine’s introduction amid the pandemic.

“‘The Pandemic no longer controls our lives. The Vaccines that saved us from COVID are now being used to help beat Cancer – Turning setback into comeback!’ YOU’RE WELCOME, JOE, NINE MONTH APPROVAL TIME VS. 12 YEARS THAT IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN YOU!” the former president wrote.

Yeah, thanks a lot, Mr. Trump. Please keep rubbing that in our faces, why don’t you?

Who exactly is he trying to impress with this? Is there a large constituency of voters who are clueless enough to think the COVID vaccine saved millions of lives, but sufficiently skeptical and hard-headed to see through all the other lies from our state-controlled media — for instance, the claim that he’s a Russian asset who tried to execute an unarmed coup on January 6, 2021? How many such people exist in America, and how many are undecided voters who might be swayed to vote for Trump because he was quicker to implement Fauci’s policies than Biden might have been?
