If Biden is up to it he should be filmed jogging and looking in good health. Orange Wotsit will try to follow and end up killing himself. Job done.

Yeah, could get him chopping up some wood as well.

They missed a trick by not going for someone like Tulsi. They could have her in military uniform, then boxing a punching back, and doing all kinds of shit next to trump struggling to breathe. 
 

Watching him struggling to breathe is hard. He’s a crazy old man who needs to go back to bed.

Trump wants his vaccine asap.

 

Even before his diagnosis, the President had taken to calling drug companies to check on their vaccine trials, asking how much longer they'll take and ginning up the pressure around his desire for a vaccine before Election Day. He's also signaling he might speed up the federal approval process, conspicuously stalling Food and Drug Administration recommendations that would delay a vaccine authorization.

 

In his conversations with major drug-makers working on coronavirus vaccines, Trump has been explicit in telling the companies' CEOs that he'd like to see a vaccine move quicker than some of his health advisers say is reasonable, according to a person familiar with the conversations. He has asked whether they believe they can speed up their timelines and has suggested he is concerned that the FDA's regulatory process could slow down progress.

 

Trump's repeated calls -- especially to Pfizer, whose progress the President sounds most hopeful about recently -- are likely to continue through a presidential election that may turn on how voters perceive his handling of the public health crisis.

 

Meantime, experts worry what Trump's undivided attention means for the fate of the vaccine. With so much obvious political pressure coming to bear, people may fear that the vaccines aren't safe for widespread use. Beyond that, they may lose trust in federal regulators and, possibly, in research science.

 

The political climate surrounding a potential coronavirus vaccine already has scientists cringing.

"There just seems to be this huge pressure from an administration that has been very effective at getting everything wrong," said Dr. Esther Choo, an emergency medicine physician and professor at Oregon Health & Science University. "So, it's like, how can this go well?"

White House spokeswoman Sarah Matthews dismissed those concerns.

 

"This President understands that this vaccine cannot get bogged down in government bureaucracy," Matthews said. "The Trump administration is focused on delivering a safe, effective vaccine to the American people as quickly as possible and any efforts to undermine confidence in a vaccine are irresponsible and dangerous."

In the first presidential debate, Trump acknowledged that he sees vaccine development not simply as a scientific matter, but also as a political one.

"It is a very political thing," he said. "I've spoken to Pfizer, I've spoken to all of the people that you have to speak to, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson and others," he said. "They can go faster than that by a lot."

 

After the late September presidential debate, Pfizer chief executive officer Dr. Albert Bourla penned a letter to employees insisting he would not be swayed by political pressure, adding, "we are approaching our goal and despite not having any political considerations with our pre-announced

date, we find ourselves in the crucible of the US presidential election."

Scientists are particularly concerned that Pfizer could play into Trump's electoral timeline. Trump often trumpets the work of the company, musing aloud about their revealing a vaccine before Election Day.

Preaching to Americans about taking the virus head on and how they have the drugs to treat it like he got.

 

He didn't mention that one of the drugs he got costs $5k a vial.

 

The best lesson he could give to Americans is to fucking drop dead.

 

5 grand for Domestos?

I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election when, immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill that focuses on hardworking Americans and Small Business," Trump wrote in a series of tweets Tuesday afternoon.
