This just proves that the vaccine contains the Deep State. They finally got to him.

Better see what Q has to say.

I follow Patriotakes on Twitter, who in turn follows the different far right message boards, and the right is in disbelief over Donnie pushing for people to get vaccinated. Of course, the Q folks still believe Donnie is speaking in code. :upside_down_face:

Oddly, I was generally fine with the idea of taking the vaccine until a few minutes ago. Wonder what changed…

They’re either in denial or angry, but I’ve seen no evidence any accept it at face value.

EDIT: One must keep in mind these aren’t typical Republicans, but the extreme. I think the average R is probably OK with it.

I know your joking. Get the vaccine when you can.

So they’ve “heard” that Trump got the vaccine?

Just saying. Learned over the last few years that if Trump says oxygen is healthy and natural, you probably don’t want oxygen.

“Freedumb” to be stupid.

That I can live with, I guess, until it endangers others.

Which, in this case, is immediately.

Typical Donnie-speak…‘You should get the vaccine but I understand FREEDOM if you don’t want it!’…something for every unhinged Trumper…and then the BS about not being ‘formally asked’ to be in an ad. C’mon. We all know if Trump can’t be the ‘star’ then he wants no part of it…plus he’s a bully. He badmouthed, berated and insulted these men for 4+ years and he was scared to be in the same room for with them.

Either that or he’s arranged for a kickback on every shot given.

He succeeded in stumbling over a toe-height bar. Yay I guess.
