Some 67 percent of Republicans are less than fully vaccinated, and have no intention of doing so, according to latest polls. However, the guy who got the ball rolling around the specific vaccine for Covid, and the Republicans continued standard bearer, Donald Trump, has not coughed up a single word about the importance of getting fully vaccinated, nor has he recommended his followers do so. He and his wife have received the vaccine, albeit very quietly, but he has chosen to let his followers go their own way down the potential rat hole of sickness, despair, and death, rather than caution them about refraining from the jab. It's curious. Does he want them to get seriously sick? Does he want them in hospital cut off from their loved ones? Does he want them passing the virus onto other more vulnerable people, like Democrats, for example? Does he hold back any mention of vaccines for political purposes, so as not to upset his base who keeps sending millions of dollars his way to continue his fight to regain the presidency? Or does he want to make Biden and the Dems look bad so they will lose the '22 and '24 elections, returning Republicans to power across the board, and possibly himself to the presidency? Questions without clear answers.
But we know one answer: Trump has not said a word about vaccines, either for them or against them. Nor has the press pressed him with the question. We find that curious as well. Perhaps he won't talk to the press. And the only one's he will talk to won't ask him the tough questions. He can now hide in his figurative basement bunker and avoid any press he views as oppositional. It's a tactic. As Americans continue to get sick and die, Trump likely has a political tactic.
We at Breakable News--actually, I, since, full disclosure, am the only employee--find this despicable behavior of the worst self-serving kind. Trump essentially throws his own supporters under the bus, and this is direct evidence of that. He does this relatively unchecked, untrammeled, uncorked, unthrottled, and apparently unperturbed at the people he has helped sicken, maim, and kill.
Are we being too hard on this fellow? Are we implying anything unfair, unverified, unmasked, unproven, unreported, unfiltered? No. It's all true--every word not spoken by this monster, along with every word not spoken by all his surrogates, puppets, puppeteers, enablers, hucksters, conspirators, liers, charlatans, snake oil salespeople, fraudsters, and snakes in the grass. They are all complicit and guilty of a form of treason, genocide, and murder...in our humble opinion.
