evidence: Trump claimed that Florida under DeSantis "sort of had a mandate" on Covid-19 vaccines. In fact, DeSantis never imposed any kind of Covid-19 vaccine mandate. Defending himself against criticism from DeSantis, Trump claimed that he would not have given Dr. Anthony Fauci a presidential commendation and does not know who gave Fauci such a commendation. In fact, it was him, Donald Trump. [...] Trump, criticizing DeSantis’ handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, claimed: "I never had mandates. But Florida sort of had a mandate because they were giving the vaccine, they were demanding everybody take the vaccine." [...] This was not one-time loose language from Trump. He made roughly the same false claim in a June interview with another conservative host, saying, while speaking of DeSantis and Covid-19 vaccines, "I guess he sort of mandated it."
