Donald Trump can say just about anything to his base and they will cheer … anything, with one big exception — urging folks to get the vaccine.
Trump was booed — yes booed — during a rally in Cullman, Alabama Saturday night, after urging the crowd to get the COVID shot. “I believe totally in your freedoms,” he said. “I do, you gotta do what you gotta do, but I recommend taking the vaccines. I did it. It’s good.” You’d think he just told them to surrender their guns, because the crowd turned on him.

“That’s okay, that’s alright,” Trump said, pressing on. “But I happen to take the vaccine. If it doesn’t work, you’ll be the first to know. But it is working. You do have your freedoms, you have to maintain that.”
And, there’s more. Trump has bragged in the past about his “good relationship” with the Taliban.
At the rally, Trump praised the Taliban as “great negotiators” and “tough fighters.” He also said, “with me in office the Taliban would not have ever dreamt of capturing our airfield or parading around with our American weapons.”
He even suggested we might send our troops back to Afghanistan … curious, since he’s the one who set the wheels in motion for the withdrawal.
Back to COVID … Alabama has run out of ICU beds. In fact … they’re 29 beds above capacity.
