1. Nope. He's desperate and hoping this will turn the election results around

[SharonAnn]

30. Stock market is only up because HE LOST!

[allnews]

2. He's still president so he is taking credit

As he always does for good things

[PatSeg]

8. I can see trying to take credit for the vaccine

but clearly the stock market is responding to the election results. Does he really take credit for that or is he just trying to convince his base?

[Mossfern]

27. How can he take credit for the vaccine?

He didn't develop it himself? The drug company was not part of the "warp speed" program.
We call the polio vaccine by the name of the scientists who developed them - Salk, and Sabin.

29. His cultists will insist he's responsible and it wouldn't have happened without him. nt.

[PatSeg]

31. Trump takes credit for anything good

that happens on his watch, but anything bad he is quick to blame someone else. I find it amusing all the things he has taken credit for, as if he had anything to do with it. Apparently just his presence in the world does all these extraordinary things!

So yeah, he really can't take credit for it, but he definitely will.

3. So Trump is now reading DU? Or the Washingotn Post or this was on Foxand Friends this AM.

Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine is more than 90 percent effective in first analysis, company reports.

12. Donny Jr. is whining on Twitter about the timing with this coming out a week after the election.

[Botany]

22. Even if it was before the election Trump was toast

Trump might very well go down with Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, & Mao for killing millions of people.

Even though this looks promising we still don't have a vaccine or a cure for this disease and we
have 50 million cases world wide with 10 million just in America. This crap should have been
stopped dead in its tracks in China if Russia hadn't fucked with the election and installed Trump
instead of the rightful winner, Hillary Clinton. She would not have removed all those people,
protocols, and materials that were in place to stop just this kind of pandemic but Trump removed
them because they were "the black guy's idea." And in 2017 or 2018 the administration and or
the republicans in congress stopped funding for a SARs vaccine (a coronavirus).

4. I think his caps lock is stuck

because he sure has been doing a lot of "shouting" lately.

But, isn't that what a toddler does anyway?

[honest.abe]

5. He wants to take credit for all of it.

Proof he is the best President ever.

[iamateacher]

6. Pfizer was not part of "warp speed"

He can't claim credit...They promised and got a government promise of manufacturing funds if their vaccine was successful, but they were not one of the original funded companies...

[soothsayer]

7. This tickles me beyond end

[SheltieLover]

11. This is really encouraging for the safety & efficacy, imo!

Ty for shaing!

[still_one]

19. Exactly. They did NOT want to be part of any government obligation. This has nothing

to do with f**king trump and his thugs

[crickets]

28. The makes the news all the more sweet! nt

[NCDem47]

9. I mentioned this last night after 60 Minutes piece

Get ready for Trumplandia to shape the historical record that he saved the world with a vaccine and we were all wrong to turn our backs on him.

[bullwinkle428]

10. "Up big" because you LOST, asshole!

[SheltieLover]

13. This!👆

For cripes sake, hasn't anyone told him he is no longer campaigning?

That the election is over & the market is up because Joe won?

Oh, wait. Yup. Just like his supporters who cannot accept that the North won the Civil War...

[Yonnie3]

14. Because he is campaigning

I hear he wants to do some rallies.

He thinks he will win this election if he keeps his messaging going.

One quote comes to mind:

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results."

Yes, I'm saying DJT is insane

[musclecar6]

15. Yep

He could never shut the fuck up. He’s just taking credit for anything good so that he can keep his base firmly in hand as he moves to his next scam where he starts running a cable channel, taking over for Rush when he kicks the bucket soon from cancer, etc
preaching to the choir every day with more of his twisted nonsense.Once a ConMan liar and a cheat.....................

[Joedog]

23. Kushner is the one pushing this along with Don Jr and Eric

The part about the rallies is what pisses me off. Out leading cheers to promote his lies.

[RKP5637]

16. He needs a mental makeover! n/t

[still_one]

17. No, the asshole hasn't given up, and I wouldn't count on it. They are using fox to push the

rigged election bullshit, he will be holding rallies to push these lies.

He has ordered the GSA, general service administration not to provide resources for the transition.

In my view what he is doing is sedition

I hope the f**ker drops dead

[kairos12]

18. He thinks the election is tomorrow.

[onethatcares]

20. you can't see

"healthcare plan coming out in two weeks" in that one though.

[Mike 03]

21. He will deny Joe Biden credit for anything NT

[CatMor]

24. To me it will be good news when the vaccine is 100% effective ..

and it is the Pfizer vaccine not the trump vaccine. They would be working on a vaccine no matter who was in office, that's what they do.

[Talitha]

25. Fred's Failure - he reminds me of that old song "They're Coming to Take Me Away"...

[LizBeth]

26. It is behind the scene tells. He is raising money to pay off campaign, give to RNC and once the

stupid hit the mark, the rest goes to attorney fees.

He has already given up. The vast majority is not going to attorney and he doesn't really need it because he really does not have a leg to stand on. Right now he is simply creating chaos and mess because that is all he does.

[George II]

33. He doesn't give the RNC money, he expects them to give money to HIM!

[Baked Potato]

32. GOTV !! Who's a Good Boy !? You get a big sucker on the way out!
