Donald Trump seemed to want it both ways while bragging about his response to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic this week.

Dubiously boasting about having bipartisan support, Trump told Megyn Kelly his very smart Democratic friends loved his coronavirus policies but that he wasnt proud of his work on the vaccine, which remains a tense talking point among conservatives.

As far as the vaccine is concerned, you had the original COVID and the vaccine had an impact on that, Trump said during Thursdays edition of The Megyn Kelly Show on SiriusXM. There are some people, I will tell you, some friends of mine that are Democrat, I think they voted for me. But theyre Democrat, very smart people, top people.

They say, You know, I dont understand one thing. Why dont you talk more about the vaccine? It was one of the greatest things youve ever done, he claimed. Now think of that. And I say, Im not going to talk about it one way or the other.
