Donald Trump will have to come up with a different October surprise now that basically no one but his cultists trust anything he says about the coronavirus.
More than 190,000 U.S. deaths into the pandemic and less than two months out from Election Day, 62% of Americans believe the Food and Drug Administrationunder pressure from Trumpwill rush approval for a coronavirus vaccine that may not be safe, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) poll.
The poll, taken from Aug. 28 to Sept. 3, found 85% of Democrats, 61% of independents, and even 35% of Republicans worried that a rushed COVID-19 vaccine under Trump might not be safe or effective. Whats astonishing is that fully 62% of the public already distrusted a Trump-era vaccine even before Trumps latest taped confession to journalist Bob Woodward, when he deliberately lied about how deadly the coronavirus is.
Notably, women were far more skeptical of a Trump-era vaccine than men in the poll, with 70% of women and 55% of men saying they feared a rushed process.

Of course, he might have Bill Barr try to ARREST Joe Biden, but that would bring down the house.
There aren't too many bows he has left in his quiver that could out-do the insanity he's already rained down on this country.
