Stephen Moore says that Trump will leave office 'triumphant,' comparing him to Winston Churchill

Stephen Moore, a conservative economist and close ally of President Donald Trump, said on Sunday that the president would leave office "triumphant" due to the progress with COVID-19 vaccines and his opinion of an improving economy.

Moore touted the president's handling of the coronavirus vaccine during a WABC 770 AM radio interview with New York businessman John Catsimatidis.

"I think (Trump) is going to leave the office triumphant," Moore said. "By early next year, we will have a vaccine that nobody thought was possible.

Moore, who cowrote the book "Trumponomics" with economist Arthur Laffer, praised the president's handling of the economy, throwing out the possibility of strong growth in the last few weeks of 2020.

And Moore continues to show he's a clueless dumbass.

Yes, Chinese scientists had far more to do with it than Trump. Any bets that they will at some point get major awards that Trump will think should be his?

The vaccines may be available around the beginning of the year, but they will not be produced in numbers needed to get the virus under control until about 3 to 6 months after that.

That is a slightly accelerated timeline, but nothing like the "Miracle" Trump was predicting.

He gives complete dullards like Stephen Moore a chance to become powerful. That's why there's so much blind loyalty to Trump. Dullards see him as their ticket to success.

It was the last place I would choose to shop. That place was disgusting. Never shopped at Andronico's. I never saw one in Manhattan. It figures the owner would support Trump. It's obvious that he cuts corners and rips people off just like his buddy.

Overall, it was just a totally depressing place. I can't believe they are still in business. It wasn't like the prices were even that much cheaper. You could just tell the owner was a total POS by the way those stores were run.

……for being more expensive than other groceries. Almost every item is slightly or greatly more $$ than elsewhere.

But I try to avoid Whole Foods too because it's Bezos owned.

After two terms, maybe. But by definition, not being re-elected makes you not triumphant.

Trump had better hope he doesn't leave office in a manner more resembling that of Julius Caesar, the way he is pissing off Congressional Republicans who are finding it harder and harder to defend him, except for the most rabid core of them.
