TRUMP TODAY ON HIS VACCINE: "I'm rushing it. I’m pushing everybody” Could be ready for you by Election Day

He should find another word to use. A "rushed" vaccine would make anyone nervous.

A MAGA vaccine for election day. Long live our savior.

Vote Trump for your beautiful big pharma vaccine.

Trumpers get in line for our leaders vaccine.

This should be pined so that everyone remembers this huge promise that Trump just made to us all.

President Trump on Thursday said he thinks it's possible there will be a COVID-19 vaccine ready around Election Day in November.

"I think in some cases, yes, possible before, but right around that time," Trump said on Geraldo Rivera's radio show when asked if he thought a vaccine would be ready by Nov. 3.

"We have great companies," he added. "The rest of the world is also doing vaccines, so let's see how they do."

The president's comments are likely to fuel concerns that he is exerting political pressure on vaccine development in a bid to boost his reelection hopes. Trump told reporters this week that politics will not play any role in the science behind vaccine development, and administration officials have made similar assurances.

But Trump has repeatedly insisted a vaccine could be ready in the near future, citing Operation Warp Speed, a government initiative to expedite the development, manufacturing and distribution of a possible COVID-19 vaccine.

"I'm rushing it. I am. I'm pushing everybody," Trump told Rivera of the push for a vaccine.

Trump also claimed a vaccine wouldn't be ready for "two years" if a different president were in office.

Asked later Thursday if he felt it would help his reelection chances if a vaccine were ready by November, Trump said "it wouldn't hurt."

"But I’m doing it not for the election," he said. "I want it fast because I want to save a lot of lives."

He hasn't "promised" it.

It's might as well be.

They're cutting through the red tape on what was already inadequate safety testing.

They removed all liability from vaccine companies.

And Trump sells it to the camera almost every single day.

More excuses

Sure. Trump’s vaccine won’t be mandatory. But you’ll need your vaccine card to go to work, travel, have dinner out or go shopping at Walmart.

He is just following the science:

Science hasn't found a vaccine for this class of virus in almost 20 years.

Real science is being ignored.

OK Doctor Doink

And Trump is lying for votes. Again.
