Donald Trump has accused Pfizer and Moderna of working to stop his re-election by delaying their Covid vaccines.

The outgoing president again made the false claim he had “won” the election as he gave a White House press conference on lowering drug prices.

And he claimed that regardless of a vaccine breakthrough the Democrats would “have found the ballots someplace” to beat him.

“Big pharma ran millions of dollars of negative advertisements against me during the campaign, which I won by the way,” said Mr Trump.

3. And he's not really brave enough

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. Good one! A swamp, in fact. A disease-ridden swamp that he stocked with corrupt alligators. . . nt

[dchill]

4. No. They're working to stop his infection.

8. Whine, Baby, Whine!

[Hip2bSquare]

9. If it's true, thank you Pfizer and Moderna

I'll probably never say those words again. Enemy of my enemy.

10. Crazier than a Shit House Rat.. the

"Election" is OVER.. you LOST you Stupid *****.

[LymphocyteLover]

23. he really is... insane and stupid and horribly self-deluded

[Xipe Totec]

11. As if Pfizer and Moderna didn't have more important things to do than shiv Donnie. nt

[Grokenstein]

12. Nobody loves me, everybody hates me...

[DallasNE]

13. Desperation Is A Sorry Sight To See

And, I guess, scapegoating is all he has left. What a pathetic, empty shell Trump is.

[birdographer]

14. Which I won by the way????

Exactly how stupid does he think everyone else is??? As stupid and gullible as his base??? He is dealing with normal, rational people now, not his moron cult members. Will he still be saying that when he is in his prison cell?

[thenelm1]

20. That's been the biggest problem with him since day one, right?

Didn't he declare himself more or less as 'the smartest person ever in the history of smart people?'

His delusions of grandeur have been a hallmark of his whole life. I've known more than one dumbass who's thought that they were so much more clever than anyone else in the room. More times than not they're complete idjits and fools. And obviously so. Dump just takes that attitude to a whole other level. If he hadn't been born into wealth absolutely no one would have ever given him a second glance. Without that wealth, his whole life would have revolved around saying 'do want fries with your order?' (Not denigrating fast food workers. I was one in HS and college - it served a purpose at the time, but never as a career choice.)

24. If Benedict Donald hadn't been born into wealth,

he would have been pushing Amway for Beasty DeVos instead of her working for him.

[Yavin4]

15. It's always a conspiracy against Trump.

The intelligence community, the FBI, elections, Hugo Chavez's ghost, and now Pfizer and Moderna. Everyone working in concert against Trump.

Amazing .

[Retrograde]

16. "Which I won, by the way"

Just because you keep telling yourself that doesn't mean it happened, or is going to happen without massive lawbreaking.

[BHDem53]

17. Idiot.

[keithbvadu2]

18. Excuses and scapegoats

[Rural_Progressive]

19. Hey, hey, hey there, just a goldurn minute here

ya'll missing the most important part of this press conference. Within the first 15 seconds the man actually says something true about himself.

Did ya' catch, huh, huh, didja'?

[LymphocyteLover]

21. what was it?

[Rural_Progressive]

22. At 0:11 he is honest about who he caters to

and then of course goes off and turns back into the blathering idiot we have come to expect.

[Aussie105]

25. Trump won, surely!

When you have that feeling, that the whole world is against you, but you just KNOW you won, you start making lists of all those who are against you. Add Pfizer and Moderna to the growing list. And it's a long one . . .

Facts versus feelings. Trump's gut feelings triumphs all. Numbers don't matter, only his gut feelings.
You are all against him!

Explanation: Trump has gone mad.

[paleotn]

26. Yea, whatever.

[truthisfreedom]

27. sore loser.

sore fucking loser. butthurt little wimp.

[intrepidity]

28. So let me understand

First he tells them to hurry hurry hurry! rush that vaccine! and when they do, in record-breaking time.... but because they are TWO WEEKS later than he wanted, but yet YEARS AHEAD of typical development.... he concludes they dragged their feet to spite him.



The world truly *does* revolve around you Donald, doesn't it?

[Chemisse]

29. Maybe they did, who knows! The timing was great, so more power to them.

But even if they did (which I rather doubt since they are in intense competition with each other), so what? There is nothing illegal about a business opting to delay an announcement to impact an election.

Of course, anything that hurts Trump's prospects in any way is 'mean and unfair'.
