    Half of Lemmy would stop drinking water tomorrow if Trump said it’s his pick for quenching thirst.

        I’m an idiot and my opinions are worthless. No disagreement there.

        …but I still feel confident in saying that there’s literally nothing Trump could do that would make the haters give him credit for.

          If he ever did the right thing, or told the truth, I would be shocked, and I would be happy, and I would give him credit. It’s a pretty fucking low bar for praise, but here we are. But neither of those things have ever happened in his entire miserable life, so here we are. As president he has done nothing, not a damned thing worthy of praise. Nothing.

          You’re right, I can’t think of anything worthwhile he’s done. So why expect anything now?

              Some of that didn’t age well. Did you read it? I’m curious what you think Trump had to do with this? Aside from stamping his name on things, which is what he does.

                Well this is what I mean. Either what he did is not good or if it is, he didn’t have any meaningful part in it.

                Very few things are all good or all bad but I see this as a net-positive thing, or for the very least, step in the right direction.

            I hate Trump as much as the next person, and virtually all the pandemic response was a shit show from the White House, but operation warp speed proved to be an actual good thing during a terrible time. It’s very impressive we developed a vaccine so quickly and got us out of the pandemic faster because of it. It’s kinda funny how one of his best accomplishments is the only thing his supporters will boo him about, and he largely can’t take the credit for because of the backlash.

              He tried to scalp German scientists to produce a vaccine here in the USA, so that he would have full control over it, and get to decide who profits. That would have set progress back by months or years had he been successful. He delayed development of a vaccine by refusing to acknowledge a pandemic even existed, claiming it was a Democrat hoax. The dude isn’t responsible for any rapid vaccine development, he’s responsible for delays. But in typical trump fashion, he gets all the praise, but none of the responsibility.
