Elsewhere, Trump continued to push the racist and widely-debunked theory that China was at fault for the COVID-19 pandemic. Referring to the coronavirus as the “Wuhan virus” and “China virus,” the former president claimed that China should have to pay “reparations.” He also took credit for developing the COVID-19 vaccine which, according to Trump, has saved millions from succumbing to the deadly virus. In fact, one of the most talked-about moments from the event came when both hosts confirmed they had received their booster vaccines, to raucous boos from the gathered supporters. Trump’s supposed exemplary response to the pandemic is one of the main reasons O’Reilly believes he’s fit to run the country again.

Confirming the former president is definitely going to run again in 2024, O’Reilly revealed how he encouraged Trump to do so on his record, “Because your record is pretty darn good.” The record he was referring to was the “Apprentice” host’s heavily criticized response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, both O’Reilly and Trump credit the former president with developing the vaccine during his tenure. “Your administration did it, and you should take credit for it,” O’Reilly told his longtime pal. It’s worth noting that, per the Washington Post, Trump’s pandemic response was considered even worse than the public realized.
