Although Trump appears to remain in robust health, he is 75 and overweight, putting him in two different risk groups.
Whatever your own decision is, unlike Presidentish Joe Biden, former President Trump doesn’t believe that vaccination should be mandatory. “Forget about the mandates,” he told Owens. “People have to have their freedom.”
