Does Trump really have a time machine? I thought that was a gag.

Then do it

Ok. Might be interesting.

Like it or not, a/the vaccine was the only ticket back in the direction of “normalcy.” I.e. where that large portion of the country who, again like it or not, was frightened of what they were being told by the media about the virus. They weren’t coming out of their homes anytime soon *most importantly to begin participating in the economy again* unless and until a vaccine was available.

So then Trump concludes that, given the above unavoidable circumstances, that the quicker the vaccine, the quicker the march back to full participation in the economy. Long story short, Trump coordinated an effort that outperformed all expectations, for which he was rightfully prideful and triumphant. And it wasn’t merely he who lauded the expedient effort, there was widespread commendation from all directions other than, of course, the bitter enemies in media and on left.

Fast forward to the “medals”……..the medal was not given to Fauci for anything he did exclusively. He received an award for his specific participation in Project Warp Speed, along with every other Joe Blow who played an above nominal role in the project. Had there been no implications to Trump snubbing Fauci out of pure spite, according to you all’s perception of Trump he would’ve happily and spitefully done so. But the assured reception of such a move as childish and juvenile and the resulting drama was simply not worth it.

So that’s that. Fauci got a participation trophy along with a bunch of other people exclusively for their hand in Trump’s Warp Speed triumph.

That’s a shame isn’t it.

Maybe we should elect someone that would have told Fauci to frick off by month 10

But nobody had a gun to Trump's head telling him he could only listen to the lying politically-bent "scientists".

Well, we are still being told that 81,000,000 voters believed it. I don't believe that number, either, but that horse has been beat to death.

Not quite enough to be honest. Trumps political career is still alive.

No.

This argument works for only those that bought into all the hype and played right into the Left's hands.

He can’t help himself. He didn’t need to give a fricking medal to anyone. Giving out medals was just a way to bring more acclaim to himself. That’s all that was about.

Why is this topic being constantly rehashed? This has to be at least the third time a thread has been started on this very topic on this board. The answer to your question is that the commendation to Fauci was only for his role in supporting Project Warp Speed, not an endorsement of Fauci's overall job performance during the pandemic. Trump was roundly criticized for allowing the individual states to decide for themselves whether to shutdown or not. If he had canned Fauci, and acted more aggressively in mandating that the country be kept open, don't you think Trump would have been not only impeached, but also successfully removed from office? I personally believe that's what would have happened. It would have given Rino's the excuse they needed to side with the Dems, and remove him from office. He would have been vilified as being callously reckless, if not a mass murderer, all with the eager assistance of the news media. The media had already painted Fauci as being an above reproach expert on communicable diseases.

It means that Trump was in charge and all the national responsibility fell on his shoulders, not Kemp or Desantis. As Bush, I believe it was, said, "I'm the decider".

I guess the $2 billion he raked in from working in Trump's administration wasn't enough, Trump had to hand him an award as well. But we are going to drain the swamp! Don't worry though, it will be different this time. He has learned from all the mistakes he never admitted he made or has tried to project onto DeSantis.

Kemp was trying to open up GA while Trump was driving a bus filled with media jackals over him.

I never trusted that evil prick, Fauci. Nevertheless, my point still stands. These "scientists" lied to Trump and all of us. He was set up and set up beautifully with cunning, false information, and purpose. The truth is still emerging.


There were gun-toting welders, plant operators, catfish farmers, law enforcement officers, salesmen, mechanics, doctors, meteorologists, chefs, insurance agents, truckers, you name it, from all walks of life - on this humble message board that KNEW the scientists, woke doctors, and media were full of shite and lying from day 1.

There were numerous average Joes here that sniffed out the lies, carefully fabricated narrative, and false information from the jump.

Why couldn't Trump, with all his bravado and no-fricks-to-give attitude? If WE knew, HE knew.

This is 100% true. Covid is why I started posting on TD, and I remember the discussions well. The ideas that "nobody knew" and "Trump was just following the scientists' advice" is revisionist history.

Got it. So trump allowed the media and Faucci to shut down our country completely and cripple our economy then gave them participation trophies for that "vaccine" that doesn't stop transmission or illnesse.

The same illness that was funded by gain of function research by Dr. Faucci under trumps command?

But he had to do it because of perception, yet Georgia and Florida were able to open up?

It's not just that he was wrong?
