Oh, you mean Operation Warp Speed, which Trump announced on May 15, 2020 after 100k deaths in the US?
Did you know it was funded by the CARES act, which was introduced into the House by Democrat Joe Courtney on January 24, 2019? Yup, Democrats were introducing Coronavirus legislation over a year before Trump “Warp Speeded”.
But Trump completely bungle testing, couldnt make sure medical personnel had access to protective gear, he continually lied about how serious the pandemic was and spewed misinformation about quack cures like hydroxychloroquine. At a time when America needed unity, Republicans divided it with anti-mask rhetoric, which they continue even today.
But yes, at least Trump signed the CARES Act bill. “Ta da”
Listen, I’m far from a Trump fan. And I don’t think he personally did anything productive ever personally. But facts are facts - his administration DID do a lot to help (or at least that was my personal experience). As one single example of many, I personally got help from warp speed White House / military folks to get me critical parts from the other side of the world in a little over a day. Asia to my doorstep, Friday end of day to Sunday morning. I thought I’d have to go to the port and pick it up - nope right to my damn hands. That one simple act literally got that vaccine into people about 2-3 weeks earlier.
It’s baffling - they did good things. Not all the good things, but good things nonetheless. And he was in a position to take credit for the whole thing, deserved or not and put a big feather in his cap. And then, all of a sudden, “vaccines are bad”. It’s like you can’t make this shit up. If he was smart he’d take that one thing and rile up his base with how amazing he is, and then get away with murder behind their backs. But instead he punches the gift horse in the mouth.
That’s how I know he’s not very smart.
