/——/ Explain how Trump fumbled the vaccine. He fast tracked it when democRATs said it was impossible.
It wasn't just the vaccine he fumbled. But let's start there. The Democrats never said it was impossible. A few expressed concerns Trump might roll out an ineffective vaccine as a pre-election stunt, because when you are a reality TV rodeo clown, that's what you do. But Merc and Pfizer didn't play along, which is why they've been added to the right wing enemy list. He did, however, manage to fumble distribution. His supposed goal was to get 10 million shots into arms by Dec 31, 2020. He was at less than a million and by the time he staged his failed coup, we were losing 4000 people a day.
But it wasn't just the vaccines he fucked up. Let's look at all the other stuff he did.
He disbanded the Pandemic Response Team at the NSA.
He threw out Obama's Pandemic Plan (because Obama came up with it.)
He lied when it first broke out and said it would clear up by Easter.
He openly attacked Dr. Fauci when Fauci started getting better press than he did. (Again, the worst thing you can do to a malignant narcissist.)
He encouraged the nutbags who were protesting lockdowns and showing up at state capitols with guns.
He used the most vile racist language about the pandemic, resulting in violence against Asian Americans.
He held super spreader events, because what's a few dead people to a malignant narcissist who needs praise all the time.
When he was unable to get relief through Congress, he pilfered other funds to keep unemployment benefits going.
A lot of rent relief that was supposed to go to landlords and business owners never got there.
