How far will Donald Trump go to get re-elected?
It started as a rhetorical question.
I asked my friend, "Would you want a vaccine to become available before the election if it meant Donald Trump would remain president for four more years?" Her response surprised me. "He's going to lie about a vaccine in October to try and save his job." This really didn't answer my question, but it got me thinking.
I admit this never crossed my mind. Not even once. I also admit that I can't believe I was so naive to think that doing this would be beneath him.
Let's take a look at his history. As POTUS, he's already tried to get China and the Ukraine involved in rigging the upcoming election. Fact checkers have him with over twenty-thousand lies since he became President. Before becoming the nation's leader, his entire life was a lie. Trump University, Trump Airlines, Trump Steaks, lying and cheating on all three wives, his history of never paying contractors for work done, taking money from a children's cancer charity and on and on and on. Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie......
I haven't even started on how he's lied about his administration's handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Only a few cases that will be gone shortly, hydroxychloroquine, it'll disappear during the heat of the summer, BLEACH and on and on and on. Lie, lie, lie, lie....
C'mon...if the dude is going to lie about throwing out a first pitch at a baseball game, imagine what he'll do when the election is at stake.
Moderna is now in phase three of their clinical trials for a vaccine. The nation's best medical minds say the earliest part of 2021...and that's pushing it. And naturally, even though he had absolutely nothing to do with this, Trump and all of his flunkies will be taking all the credit. "Thanks to President Trump’s leadership and the hard work of American scientists, the investigational vaccine developed by NIH and Moderna has reached this Phase 3 trial at record pace.” said HHS Secretary Alex Azar.
If it really does happen by the end of the year, that would be great for everyone, but maybe not for Donald Trump. For him it has to occur sooner. From the end of December to October is a small stretch. What's a few months if it means a few million votes? What's a few months when it gets him another opportunity to spend four more years as a grifter of the American people? What's another lie among the thousands of previous lies?
His newest revelation lie is only two months away. The Trump vaccine that will save millions of lives is right around the corner. I hear the main ingredient in the vaccine is bleach.
