Trump Forced To Reckon With His Own Actions As Anti Vaxxers Attack Him - Ring of Fire

[Rhiannon12866]

Donald Trump has spent the entire pandemic downplaying the severity of the virus and pushing bogus treatments that have not shown to have an impact. He has also refused to step up when asked to help convince Americans to get vaccinated on multiple occasions. But now that he's suddenly changed his tune, he's stuck with a fan base that is angry and confused. But as Dr. Fauci pointed out, this is what happens when you "poison the well," and now Trump has to deal with the consequences. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

1. I'm looking forward to his 1/6 press circus.

He's got problems with his base and his intent is to bond with them again, vaccinations or not. He's also getting hit in the face with the J6 Committee's plans to televise hearings, and he's also having to counter the dominant narrative on the insurrection: that he organized it and managed it and then covered up the enabling by his subordinates. The Dems will be all over this before Trumpy-Boy has his presser. There's a lot of anger out there, and much of it is aimed at Trump. He's making a big error, but no one's stopping him.

2. He obviously thinks there's some political or financial gain for him to change his tune

Maybe he sees, or more likely has been told his base is being killed off, or he is currently furious with the gqp and thinks this will further divide the base and hurt their chances in the midterms and beyond?

3. Hope this boxes-in Ron DeSantis, as Florida is surging in COVID.

4. Look out...

his base may be finding a way to throw him under the bus and still remain crazy. They will say he's the one who went nuts and betrayed them, and they are the ones on the right path.
