That would require 1) a willingness On his part to acknowledge that COVID is still a problem (which goes counter to everything hes said for the past three weeks) and 2) the willingness of his prospective voters to take the vaccine.

(37,748 posts)You're premise is flawed...he neither needs nor even wants a rational justification for anything he does. Objective cause and effect is at best, a mere convenience to him, at worst a mere inconvenience; both discarded on a whim and replaced by whatever thought-salad is going on in his brain at any given moment.
I'd lay even money he announces a vaccine prior to the election despite its non-existence.

(59,584 posts)Three days later he will have forgotten all about it.
And then, when people start dropping dead from the disastrously toxic monkey piss vaccine, he'll blame "Jaina", or Hillary, or Obama, or "Fake News", and pretend that he never authorized the release of the vaccine.
And then, a few weeks later, when drug cartels start cutting Fentanyl with monkey piss vaccine, he'll call for a taller wall on the Mexican border, but this time with molten lead moats and robot machine guns.
And then, a few weeks later, when caseloads drop to zero, he'll claim that it was his genius science-mind that thought up the monkey piss miracle cure and blame the "do-nothing Dems" and "Sad Nancy" for not sucking up to his big, big brain.
And then he'll go play golf.
