The whole world is racing to develop a vaccine against the Trump virus. Trump has nothing to do with it. Don't say he's easing regulations. The FDA already had ways to fast track a vaccine or any other medication if it was needed to save lives. Any President in this situation would do whatever they could to expedite the beurachracy. Unfortunately, no one trusts this asshole to not cut corners that would jeopardize the safety of anyone who receives the vaccine. You can thank the fact that he's documented to have told over 20,000 lies during his presidency.

If you want to argue that the sources for that are biased, how about a more conservative estimate from our friends at the Toronto Star (Canada in case you can't figure that out). This is over a year old and they are much more lenient about what they consider a lie...

The first 5,276 false things Donald Trump said as U.S. president

For 835 days starting with his inauguration on Jan. 20, 2017, the Star kept track of every false claim Donald Trump made as U.S. president. Why? Historians say there has never been such a constant liar in the Oval Office. We think dishonesty should be challenged. We think inaccurate information should be corrected. And we think the sheer frequency of Trump’s inaccuracy is a central story of his presidency.

If Trump is a serial liar, why call this a list of “false claims,” not lies? You can read our detailed explanation here. The short answer is that we can’t be sure that each and every one was intentional. In some cases, he may have been confused or ignorant. What we know, objectively, is that he was not telling the truth.
