Trump to deliver first remarks in over a week on vaccines

Source: The Hill

President Trump will deliver his first public remarks in more than a week when he provides an update on coronavirus vaccine development on Friday afternoon.

The White House issued an updated schedule noting that Trump will brief the public on the recent work of Operation Warp Speed, the federal government’s program to accelerate the production of a vaccine. Trump is slated to deliver remarks from the Rose Garden.

Trump has been remarkably absent from public engagements since Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election on Saturday. The president's only public outing this week has been a brief appearance at a Veterans Day observance ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday, at which he did not give public remarks.

Aside from his Twitter feed, Trump has not spoken publicly since last Thursday, when he held a news conference in the White House briefing room and claimed without evidence that the election was being stolen from him.

His first spoken sentence, even if he says, "thank you, everybody", will be a lie.

They need to cut his ass off immediately.

The subsidiary of Pfizer that developed that vaccine started work on it in JANUARY!!! You know, back when Trump said it was a Democratic hoax and would go away. They took zero federal dollars from "warp speed" so Donnie can go fuck himself with this news conference...Mr "Covid Covid Covid...watch it will magically go away after the election"

If pfizer sent the trial results to the FDA before the election but trump/dejoy mail slow down delayed the delivery until after the election?

I know it was after, but that would be amazing

In order to surpass his PR stunt with the April stimulus checks, Trump will demand that each vile of vaccine has his signature AND picture on it.

no one else could have gotten vaccines so quickly. The fact of the matter is that if a Democrat were the President the vaccine process
would have started way earlier. There wouldn't have been time wasted calling it a hoax and pretending it would just go away magically.

Watched about 10 minutes of it then had to turn it off. He did exactly as you said. Pretty much every statement you wrote he said.
