Trump Praises Scientists, Doctors For An AIDS Vaccine That Doesn't Exist

Source: Forbes

President Donald Trump incorrectly suggested that scientists and doctors had developed an AIDS vaccine before appearing to correct himself during a press conference on police reform that took a detour when the president flaunted the progress being made into finding a vaccine for Covid-19

“I deal with these incredible scientists [and] doctors very, very closely. I have great respect for their minds and they have come up with things. They’ve come up with many other cures, and therapeutics over the years. These are the... best, the smartest, most brilliant anywhere. And they’ve come up with the AIDS vaccine... or the AIDS.. as you know, there’s various things and now various companies are involved… but the therapeutic for AIDS... AIDS was a death sentence, and now people live a life with a pill. It’s an incredible thing,” Trump told reporters at Tuesday’s press conference.

When Dubya was running for president, his speaking was nearly as incomprehensible as Fat Donnie's is now. I remember reading an interview with him in USA Today to see how they were going to portray his dissembling. Not surprisingly, he sounded articulate during the interview. At the end of the article, however, was a disclaimer that his responses had been "edited for clarity." In other words, had they been written as spoken, Dubya's answers would have been incomprehensibe.

The more people see how fucked-up Trump's mind is (not his policies, just his thought processes) and how frail and uncoordinated he is, the question of whether he has lost the ability to perform the duties of the presidency will increase, as well as the call for the 25th Amendment to be exercised. Once he has lost his base, Trump will quit, all the while protraying himself as a victim of the Democrats and media. He will state he is still a winner, while everyone else are losers.

The instant he is out of the WH, Melania will divorce his fat ass, and dance down Pennsylvania Avenue laughing and waving her new pre-nup over her head while singing "You Don't Own Me," like the women did in "The First Wives Club."
