He’s trying to take credit for for Pfizer vaccine!
Just absolute fantasy land at the moment
Seems he/his administration is taking credit for the vaccine for the ‘China virus’.
Says Pfizer made an unfortunate mistake when they say they weren’t part of operation warp speed.
Would have taken 5 years under a ‘different administration’
Lol, saying New York state doesn’t want it for political reasons...
The insane shitgibbon just can’t stop lying can he?
I just want a journo to interrupt to ask how it feels to be a loser.
‘I guess time will tell which administration will be next’
The lies! The endless lies!
Is that him done now then? Over to the Drs, generals and Pence?
Just been watching it on CNN. Jesus, did he Just call Pfizer liars?
I really hope that Pfizer publicly comment on that. I don’t think that they will, or realistically should.
Good news though - he almost made a hint of referring to the next administration.
If they crawl much further up trumps arse they'll stick in his throat, ****ing sycophantic ****s
It's another mutually contradictory thing- Trump claims credit for the vaccine, but also says that Pfizer are part of the "medical deep state" and conspired to harm his election chances.
From the BBC
Unlike the other leading candidate vaccines being produced in the US, Pfizer did not receive any upfront funding from Operation Warp Speed for research and development. This point was stressed by Pfizer’s Head of Vaccine R&D Kathrin Jensen in an interview with the New York Times.
“We were never part of the Warp Speed,” she said. “We have never taken any money from the US government, or from anyone.”
Trump last night...
'But I can tell you, this administration will not go to a lockdown. There won’t be necessity. Lockdowns cost lives, and they cost a lot of problems.'
Papers this morning...
'New Mexico and Oregon announce lockdowns.'
I suppose technically the feds can't force a lockdown...
Donald makes everything about Donald
Especially, of course, the good stuff someone else does.
Excepting, of course, the bad stuff he actually does.
He’s a walking case study. Of use to the fields of psychology and behavioural science.
Trump the Genius, Trump the Incompetent, Trump the Bogeyman A character study of the 45th president.
Trump is, finally, a bogeyman—a fearful devil of our nightmares who will vanish before too long. He will step down and, despite the fears of many, likely recede into the background. He will no longer have the platform of the White House, and all the opportunities that it gave him to dominate the news cycle. He will be faced with a host of lawsuits, including some that have nothing to with his politics and everything to do with his grifting. He reportedly has hundreds of millions of dollars coming due on loans, while no foreign government hoping for favor with the Biden White House will continue to pour money into his overpriced hotels. He seems likely to declare war on Fox, the network that served as his presidential mouthpiece. Republican politicians who have groveled to him in recent years while privately loathing and despising him will be frantic to prevent him from taking the nomination they seek in 2024. They will do their best to undercut not only Trump, but also his equally militant and even more clueless sons. Lastly, he is old and getting older, and we have reason to think that he may not wear particularly well.
Adam Serwer: The crisis of American democracy is not over
Trump will undoubtedly bleat from the sidelines, but the country will move on. What it cannot move on from, however, are the underlying syndromes that gave him his extraordinary success. The cultural condescension and economic hard-heartedness that mobilized his followers, the obliviousness to issues of character that enabled traditional conservatives and devout believers to throw in their lot with a despicable man, the hostility toward facts and evidence that led to an insane opposition to mask wearing during a pandemic, and the belief in winning at all costs to include the undermining of democratic norms—these remain with us. And we still do not have more than a superficial understanding of them, of whence they came, how they flourished, and what we can do to remedy them.
The sorry tale of Trump, then, is almost behind us. The difficult tasks of understanding, reflection, and reconstruction are before us, and will last far longer than his appalling strut across the stage of American history.
Will make a change to see anything other than "headteacher headteacher the orange windbag said this" on the news and social media. The saturation coverage seemed to push most other things down the agenda.
Crazy ****er fancied taking a swing at Iran just prior to him being escorted out of the White House to face more local consequences. I presume this was number 1 on the list entitled ‘things to do **** up Sleepy Joe’
He was ‘dissuaded’. When oh when can I read he was repeatedly punched in the face cos he’s not an actual real toddler.
...craziness. What looks like casting more gaslight is probably what's actually real. And that's kind of the point. The best and I'm afraid scariest piece on what's happening in the US I've seen was from a turkish journo: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/nov/16/us-attempted-coup-donald-trump
Thesis:
contemporary authoritarianism works not by explicitly oppressing the people, but by accelerating the moral rot of already weakened institutions.
.
Another tantrum:
Donald Trump says he has fired a top election official who contradicted the US president's claims of voter fraud.
President Trump said he "terminated" Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (Cisa) chief Chris Krebs for his "highly inaccurate" remarks on vote integrity.
Donald Trump says he has fired a top election official who contradicted the US president's claims of voter fraud.

I am also intrigued by what looks like a medical drip-stand next to him and the dodgy looking hoovering on the carpet.
The Christmas tree is awsums too.
The stand is for the puppet strings
In the uncropped version you can see the stand is for the microphone boom.
He's sat at the desk with paper on it but he's not holding a pen.
That Xmas tree was also put there by someone who hates him.

Melania's effort?
He’s been on a rant saying Twitter is reporting false, negative trends, so should be shut down.
What is trending? I hear you ask.

(In most of the western world)
That is some spectacular trolling by the camera crew if they set that up.
As part of this year's WH christmas displays we have...
This year's White House gingerbread house was constructed using nearly 400 pounds of dough, 25 pounds of chocolate and 25 pounds of royal icing. For the first time, the sugary creation includes not only replicas of the West and East wings and executive residence, but also the Rose Garden and the First Ladies' Garden.
Should keep donny going for a couple of days.
and the First Ladies’ Garden.
*coughs*
If it were happening in Turkey, we’d call Trump’s actions an attempted coup
I’ve seen a fair few US articles that refer to dTrumph’s attempted coup, and they mean it; trying to fix elections, stuffing courts with judges sympathetic to his ideology, etc.
I rather like this:

The Trump train will be going straight to sedition and treason, no intermediate stops.
The bonkers nature of the president's former NSA declaring fealty to QAnon. You couldn't make it up.
My god that WTPC stuff is just noodle doodle.
We have well-funded, armed and trained marxists in ANTIFA and BLM strategically positioned in our major cities acting openly with violence to silence opposition to their anti-American agenda. Attacking federal buildings and police, cowardly punching innocent people in the back of the head, assaulting people just eating in restaurants, and burning minority-owned businesses to the ground. All with elected officials in Democrat/Socialist-controlled cities openly encouraging this planned violence against civilians and businesses.
Where is the evidence of these well funded, armed and trained, er, marxists, actually even existing?
