Trump claims vaccine-hesitant 'don't trust this president'

Former President Donald Trump said Democrats “disparaged” the COVID-19 vaccine last year, claiming that United States citizens who refuse to take it “don’t trust this president” just days after President Joe Biden imposed a sweeping mandate.

In response to Biden’s executive order demanding employers with more than 100 workers require COVID-19 vaccinations or be subject to weekly testing, Trump told Fox News that the vaccine “shouldn’t be necessary,” echoing the sentiment maintained by other Republican leaders who believe inoculation against the illness should be optional.
