Seemingly off his steroids and Adderall yesterday, subdued demagogue and impeached one-termer Donald "COVID Donnie" Trump read off a script in the Rose Garden to claim credit for COVID-19 vaccine development, while avoiding any mention of the catastrophic rise in cases and hospitalizations which will soon cripple our health care system. He went off-script to falsely claim that Pfizer's promising vaccine was actually part of the "Warp Speed" vaccine project, and petulantly suggested that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo would have to request that the vaccine be distributed for New York, since Cuomo previously said he didn't trust Trump's word on a vaccine's safety. Vicious and vindictive to the end.
Always the quick fix day trader, Trump has been looking for a "miracle" cure -- bleach, hydroxychloroquine, etc. -- to erase the consequences of his deadly mismanagement of the pandemic for the past 10 months, rather than promoting the obvious preventative measures of masking, social distancing and hand washing. He's perfectly happy to have the pandemic continue to explode in the final two months until President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated, handing him a deadly mess to deal with as his sick revenge.
