WTF is it with Trump trying to take credit for what SCIENTISTS

have accomplished? He ridiculed them and even accused them of lying about the severity of the COVID19. Now every time Pence or one of the other syncophants opens their mouths it is always to thank Trump for taking extraordinary measures to fast track vaccines. Any one in the position of President would have done that but importantly, anyone else would have began the process around January when he found out about the seriousness of the virus.

Trump can't take credit for doing the obvious AFTER he had failed to do so in the beginning. Thousand have lost their lives because of his failure to address the seriousness of this virus much sooner. Yet, Trump supporter would have you believe that Trump worked the laboratory helping to make the vaccine. Of anything, he role was a guinea pig for the cocktail that probable saved his life that others and that others cannot access.

...that can be prioritized a bit lower because the vast majority are immune for a while.
I'm thinking there was a better way to get an advantage!

no matter who was responsible, and blames others for failures, even if they were all his fault. And his base believes him: nothing new here.

Loser Trump desperately demands people celebrate HIM. It doesn't get more pathetic than that.

....in creating the vaccines, yet he curses the lack of speed because it was 10 days too late to help his electoral chances.
So which is it you lying fuck? Did you have control of the vaccines or not?

You're doubting a 2-time Noble Prize winner, a multi-time golf champion, elected in the largest landslide in world history, won the 2020 election by 80 million votes, the healthiest human being on the planet who will live to be 200 years old, suffered the most harassment of any president in history (just don't count the assassinations) never raped anyone, paid every bill, paid millions in taxes, never went bankrupt, the greatest business man in history, the most successful businesses in history including Trump Steaks, Trump Airlines, Trump Vodka, Trump water, Trump Magazine, Trump Casinos, Trump charities, and the crown jewel, Trump University.

How do you doubt this much winning???????????

The TrumpVirus, since he downplayed it, mismanaged it, hoarded PPE, and made things much worse by mocking those trying to prevent the spread.

for anything that any other President would have done. Pushing for a vaccine is literally the bare butt minimum that he was responsible for. Also, some of the vaccines weren't funded as part of OWS.
