Former President Donald Trump slammed the Biden administration over vaccine mandates, inflation, the southern border crisis and more on Friday in a wide-ranging interview, but still plugged the COVID-19 vaccine that he was ‘very proud’ to get.
Trump told FOX Business’ Stuart Varney that he ‘wanted’ Biden ‘to be successful,’ but claims his handling of COVID-19 and implementing vaccine mandates was a ‘disaster.’
‘Look, I wanted [Biden] to be successful on the whole thing on COVID – or as I call it, the China virus,’ Trump told Varney on ‘Varney & Co.’ on Friday.
Sixty-seven percent of voters claim Biden’s policies are causing inflation, FOX Business reported.
He also called out Biden for the supply chain crisis, saying that ‘word’ was never heard of in his presidency.
‘We never even heard the word supply chains when I was president. That was not even something that I ever remember even listening to in a hearing.’
Trump said Biden’s mandates caused the supply chain crisis and that ‘what’s happening’ is people ‘quitting their jobs.’
He also blamed vaccine mandates for police shortages and remarked that it was worse in ‘democrat areas.’
‘What they’ve done is a lot of the mandates [that] are causing the supply chain problem. In that way, I guess you can say that what’s happening is people are quitting their jobs all over the place,’ he said.
‘You look at the police in New York, you look at the police all over where they refuse to get – in democrat areas, by the way, I have to say that – that’s where the crime is and that’s where the police departments are being decimated by the mandate.
‘It’s a terrible thing they’re doing, I have to say.’
The former president also brought up energy prices and how the US is no longer ‘energy independent,’ like it was when he left office, he claimed. He also said the US is now ‘begging for oil.’
Trump biggest grudge with the border crisis was the fact that Americans were being left out.
Trump said he has a problem with illegal immigrants being offered money, while American citizens continued to live on the streets.
‘What about our vets that are living on the streets and what about our people that have to live on the streets of San Francisco and New York and all over the place, they get nothing.
