You got to understand how his brain works. He is very simplistic. He'll never see it.

Ah yes, the simplistic millionaire/business tycoon. The simplistic leader of the free world. A bumbling simpleton. That's the character he is playing. You are buying the schtick then using that schtick in his defense!

That's your opinion - at the moment.

I didn't realize it when I first read the X quote of TS but Trump was only quoting Biden, not advocating. But I think Trump found out he touched a nerve when he conflated Joe's statement with "I got it done in 9 months." To give you credit, that was a simplistic mistake to make.

I don't know if you saw Dorothy's comment but I think she has the right take to it....and the right thinking.

It is my opinion--there is NOTHING to contradict what I am saying. Nothing interpretive about it. I replied to Dorothy:

"Dear God. Trump has never NOT praised these vaccines. He has called them "miracles" and credited them for "saving millions of lives" consistently and repeatedly. James is right--he is clearly taking credit for the vaccines: " "You're Welcome, Joe, 9 month approval time vs. 12 years that it would have taken you." That's about as damning as it gets."

There is NO justifying this. None."
