You really gotta cut Trump some slack on the vaccine...

Do the math here, they knew the mail in voting scam was in play, Trump was out there front and center telling the entire world that the election would be a historic shitshow of fraud and corruption. He pushed the vax because he knew if it came into EUA under his admin he could make it a choice and not a mandate. If he did nothing biden steals the election and gets his buddies at the CDC and the FDA to handwave the vax through with non-EUA approval and then force it on everyone like they are trying to do right now.

Trump couldn't stop it, but he slowed it way the fuck down, he flattened the tires and sugared the tank but these fucks had plenty of money to send it to the shop and get up and running again.

Trump bought us time.

He also had to deal with dozens of snakes in the grass who were lying to him, feeding him dogshit info, lying to him, backstabbing him...

Remember when we all thought the FDA and the CDC actually had a shred of credibility left and we thought vents were a smart move? Now we know that the vents just blow peoples lungs out, but back then it was this big national emergency because "everyone is going to need vents and we don't have enough to go around"... it was literally the basis for "flatten the curve".

They lied to him about that, they lied to him about everything, and i think at the end of the day Trump was trying to do the right thing with information from people he trusted to not be murdering scumbag pieces of shit (who were).

Trump isn't perfect, he's super old school and he got a few things wrong. During that period of time when he was considering banning e-cigs i spent a lot of time on the phone with anyone who would listen from his administration trying to talk some sense into them, but Trump has no clue wtf a vape is, he doesn't have any experience with that entire industry... all he knew is the "experts" were telling him that vapes were killing children, so he started to act on it.

He didn't want to ban vapes because he was getting paid off by big tobacco, but he was unknowingly taking bad advice from people who were.

As a libertarian you should know that we've been shackled to this 2 party system for most of our countries history and there isn't a whole lot that can change that... but you should at least appreciate the most non-politician we've ever had sitting in that seat... at least enough to not lump him in with the rest of the swamp rat scumbags that have sold us out to the CCP and megacorps.
