Trump claims credit for US Covid vaccines: ‘You’d be in a lot of trouble right now’

Donald Trump claimed credit for the US Covid vaccine success as he told an audience in North Carolina they would ‘be in a lot of trouble right now’ without him.

The former president made the claims as he told the state’s GOP convention that his economic successes while in office had only been derailed by the pandemic.

“We had this horrible thing come in from China, we got that one right too by the way as well you notice, that was an easy one, Wuhan,” he told the audience at the event in Greenville on Saturday night.
