Axios is reporting that President Trump this week said “during an impromptu call on speakerphone in an Oval Office meeting” with Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar that he “should never have done that f***ing vaping thing.”

A lot of people are saying he should blame his wife Melania for pushing for a ban on vaping. We have to admit we were surprised when the president got involved, especially when investigators found it was the use of illegal, generic “dank vapes” infused with THC that was the cause of deaths and illnesses related to vaping, and a lot of former cigarette smokers made it known that vaping helped ween them off of cigarettes.
Agreed, bro. It was flippin stupid. https://t.co/cYTXC4QiLC

He's right!
Honestly can't understand who thought that was a good idea. https://t.co/SmjOjC2eTP

The funny part?
Trump is right. The Feds should have stayed out of it. https://t.co/qQTTGtIwGs

His wife was concerned. I get it.

Maybe it's just me but perhaps the federal government shouldn't have so much power that it can destroy and industry and limit people's freedoms on the whim of one person. https://t.co/eKFUk3OpDi

If only our government had a deliberative body for setting policies instead of one guy shooting from the hip.

President Trump is absolutely correct. I applaud him for how he handled the situation but he never should have been advised that it was a smart issue to attempt to address. https://t.co/qsjtwgiGZj

True, he never should have.

If this is accurate, he is right. I respect the fact that he is willing to recognize that he made a mistake.
— Peter Parker (@PPahkah) January 18, 2020
Wait…did Trump just admit he made a mistake at something?
— Dana (@DLP0205) January 17, 2020
And another thing …
not the point, but honestly impressed that trump manages not to swear a ton in public while supposedly doing it a bunch in private. as a person who, um, struggles with this. https://t.co/1LEJE1njOy
