Published

on

Defying the experts including his own top immunologist, Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Donald Trump on Thursday announced a coronavirus vaccine could be ready “right around” Election Day. It is a tremendous politicization of the vaccine.

“Asked on the Geraldo Rivera radio program when a vaccine might be ready, Trump said, ‘Sooner than the end of the year, could be much sooner,'” Reuters reports.

“Sooner than November 3?” he was asked.

“I think in some cases, yes possible before, but right around that time,” Trump said.

CNN’s Daniel Dale adds:

After accusing British Intelligence of spying on him (an accusation he made just hours after accepting an invitation from Buckingham Palace to meet with the Queen in June) Trump went off the rails.

Trump’s tweets expose the fact that his plan all along has been to install loyalists throughout the federal government, including the judiciary, to protect him – and that he thinks that’s they way government is supposed to function. (It’s not.)

“If the partisan Dems ever tried to Impeach, I would first head to the U.S. Supreme Court,” Trump threatened.

With literally every entity attached to Donald Trump, including the Trump Campaign, Trump Transition team, the Trump Inauguration Committee, and the Trump administration itself, President Donald Trump told Congress it’s time to end those”ridiculous partisan investigations.”

Earlier Tuesday CNN produced a list of all the known investigations into the Trump machine:

Here’s Richard Nixon in 1974:
