Trump Says Biden Is Either ‘Lying or He’s Mentally Gone’ for Claiming There Was No COVID Vaccine Until He Took Office

Trump, who on Wednesday broke his silence to give a series of interviews marking the death of Rush Limbaugh, told Newsmax Biden made “a very dumb statement” about the vaccines.

The former president teased a possible 2024 run, boasting about his “tremendous support”, and stated he would not be returning to Twitter – the platform from which he was banned last month.

“It’s become very boring,” he noted, adding, “We don’t want to go back to Twitter.”

Trump, 74, was on Wednesday highly critical of Biden’s remarks during a CNN town hall in Milwaukee the night before.

Biden, asked about combating COVID, told host Anderson Cooper, “It’s one thing to have the vaccine – which we didn’t have when we came into office – but a vaccinator: How do you get the vaccine into someone’s arm?”

His comments were immediately seized upon by critics, who pointed out that a vaccine had been available since before Christmas.

“We were giving millions of shots, millions of doses,” said Trump on Wednesday, speaking by phone to host Greg Kelly.

“So he was either not telling the truth or he’s mentally gone. One or the other,” he continued, adding, “Joe Biden’s being killed on that thing. Even the haters said, well wait a minute, this vaccine was announced long before.”

Trump pointed out that Biden himself was vaccinated before his January 20 inauguration.

“Long before January 20,” Trump said, adding, “He made the statement that we had no vaccine. Literally, quote, we had no vaccine. He is getting lit up on that one. Even the bad ones. Even the ones that aren’t exactly fans, they were saying that was a bad statement. “

“Maybe, let’s give him the benefit of the doubt – could he be joking? Because frankly that was a very dumb statement,” he noted.

Trump has been at Mar-a-Lago since his January 20 departure from Washington.
