Ex-Trump Aides Say He Whiffed on Vaccination Legacy

“Former President Donald Trump’s unwillingness to pitch his voters on getting the jab has become the source of frustration for former aides, who lament the political benefits that would have come had he done so,” Politico reports.

Said one former official: “If he spent the last 90 days being the voice — and taking credit because he deserved to for the vaccine — and helping get as many Americans get vaccinated as he could, he would be remembered for that.”

The official added: “Honestly, I think if he was out on the road and celebrating his accomplishments and trying to get people vaccinated, he wouldn’t have been in the mindset that led to January 6.”
