There is a very good position he could have taken and that is not talking or bragging about this vaccine at all.
He is too much of an arrogant retard to ever accept that he made mistakes so I don't expect him to have the humility to realize Operation Warpspeed was a mistake.
He constantly spits in the face of all of his supporters and yet some of his braindead cultists still expect everyone to lick it up and push him for 2024.
He is an incompetent narcissist who cannot stop bragging about this shit vax.
He has proven that he currently is unfit to solve any of the major problems that the country faces.
His first rally event of the year is in South Carolina with Lindsey Graham of all people.
He has learned nothing at all from his mistakes and he will enjoy a monumental loss in 2024 if God forbid the base is dumb enough to somehow anoint this incompetent undisciplined fool as the nominee again.
He is close friends with Lindsey Graham, he endorsed Kevin McCarthy and Ronna McDaniel.
He constantly pushes the vax more than anyone else in the Republican party.
No one sane would think anymore that Trump is a populist "outsider" when he makes grandiose claims about the vax saying that 100 million lives were saved thanks to it. Not even Pfizer itself has made this outlandish claim.
The only swamp Trump will drain is the wallets of his poor base when he shamelessly will beg for donations like the depraved conman he truly is.
I will never vote for him ever again because he is grossly incompetent, is so narcissistic that he is completely incapable of learning from his past mistakes and because he also has the worst personnel selection skills I have ever seen in one man
I can only hope the base is smart enough to not nominate this arrogant fool again
He's an incompetent narcissist... who somehow dumb lucked himself into a successful real estate business, a top-viewed tv show, and the presidency.
Flawed, sure, but people wish that he's Forest Gump because that makes them feel better. Trump is an existential proof that some of their beliefs are wrong - unless he didn't do the things intentionally, like the posturing he does.
Without the Operation Warp Speed "mistake" Pfizer would have made their vaccine anyway (they didn't take the money). Fauci could operate an illegal gain of function program, he could certainly have gotten trials for it. Remember how they announced the vaccines 3 days after the election to keep Trump from getting credit? They would have announced it weeks before and said he was against this life saving vaccine. No way Trump got reelected being against the vaccine; not doing OWS was a guaranteed loss.
And so now you say he should be against the vaccine, but this is again posturing and the people too obtuse to understand that almost all are in favor of the vaccine because they are too dumb to find out different. He's forcing the left to either give him credit or prove the vaccine is bad, both of which benefit him, whereas downplaying warp speed shows weakness and for those who still believe it's good gives away credit for nothing.
Saying he saved millions is like saying he had the biggest inauguration crowd. The point was never the actual crowd size.
This is a pathetic attempt to reframe his constant vax peddling as muh "4d chess".
I am truly sorry that you feel that you need to make these excuses to prop up a 2024 run for an incompetent arrogant narcissist who only cares about himself.
You need to understand that the conditions of 2016 are nothing like the current conditions of today.
The crucial combination of necessary factors that led to that single win are completely gone and they won't be coming back.
2016 was never about any 4d chess.
That election was a unique moment in time where populism was the mood of the slight majority of the entire electorate.
Trump was able to capitalize on the key issues of tackling the immigration crisis, stopping free trade gutting the rust belt and he made the case that the Supreme Court balance was on the line too.
Moderate Rs and enough Independent voters were both willing to give Trump a chance in the hope that he would solve issues and become more "Presidential" if elected.
Sadly, we all know how that turned out by 2020.
Moderate Rs and most independents now completely loathe him. He has also lost his outsider populist cred after we see the people that he promoted and endorsed.
He has an actual track record that can be strongly used against him now.
If you are trying to make a case for the potential success of Trump 2024 using the success of Trump 2016 then you are doing the political equivalent of trying to compare apples to oranges.
Eight years is an eternity in politics.
Trump is not the same man and the political landscape has drastically changed.
Trump might be able to win the 2024 primary if enough of the base is stupid enough to anoint him again but he will never win a general election again.

Oh, expect him to get grilled for "ignoring the issues".
But whatever, if you want the uniparty to stay in power, have fucking at it. I can't be fucked to care.

If you're not going to vote for someone because you don't agree with them 100% of the time on 100% of issues, have fun getting fuck all done.
Straw man argument.

It's pathetic to believe everything is 4d chess, and also pathetic to believe none of it is.
Trump didn't Forest Gump his way into these successes, but that's clearly what you choose to believe because reality isn't what you wish it were.
