I think the Trump admin threatening the fda to approve vaccine

even thought they were going to do it tomorrow was done on purpose. They want to put doubt into people's minds in order to screw up the vaccination. Its in the interest of the gop to try to sabotage the incoming Biden administration in order to get fodder for the 2022 midterm elections.

Pfizer wasn't a part of warp speed, and Trump refused to buy more doses of the vaccine when offered by Pfizer.

He knew bad news was coming from the Supremes and he's desperate to control the narrative. It's a pathetic look.

He wants to say it happened faster thanks to him even though he already knew they were about to approve it.
