Trump sent out a message tonight to everyone that’s getting the vaccine, telling them he hopes they remember that they wouldn’t be getting it this soon if it weren’t for him:
TRUMP: "I hope everyone remembers when they’re getting the COVID-19 (often referred to as the China Virus) Vaccine, that if I wasn’t President, you wouldn’t be getting that beautiful 'shot' for 5 years, at best, and probably wouldn’t be getting it at all…" pic.twitter.com/oJgryvq1Xt

I laughed when I first read this because it so sounds like a Trump tweet. Remember those?
Of course Trump is not wrong in the least, but the current administration will never give him the proper credit he deserves for getting all of this in place. Everything that Biden is lording over right now is all because of the hard work Trump and his team did.
Instead of thanking Trump, Team Biden lies and claims Trump didn’t have a vaccination plan in place. Which is complete bunk of course, because by the time Biden took office there were already a million vaccinations a day. We know this because Biden foolishly set a goal of a 100 million vaccines in a 100 days, which was exactly what Trump was already doing. After being called out for it, Biden finally raised it to 150 million.
I also think this reads like Trump is running in 2024 and wants to make sure he and his accomplishments don’t get forgotten between now and then.
