    Default Trump Says He'll Overrule FDA for Being "Political"

    This is too rich for words - the White House to save the country from an alleged FDA "political" decision on a vaccine - but it probably sounds fine in Trumpland.

    Sometimes that's what has to be done when entities would rather play politics than do their damn job.

    The job in this case being to get a vaccine out before the election whether the science shows it is ready or not. No worries, however. Donald Trump will know if it's ready.

    That means my statement stands. When agencies charged with doing that start playing politics, a leader has to step up and reign them in.

    GREAT news! I'm SO glad you understand what a wonderful president we have in Donald J. Trump. A VERY astute observation, I'm IMPRESSED!

    that's not the issue -do you ever bother to look , or are do you just trigger on Trump?

    The Issue is the FDA just said it would DELAY an approval process - not for medical reasons -
    but to "insure public confidence" . They talked of tracking subjects for 2 more months instead

    Harris and Biden have been talking down the "Trump's vaccine" -deliberately not saying the FDA approval process is 100% done by vaccine experts inside the FDA.. That talking down has eroded public confidence. it's like 60-40

    So Trump is saying forget that "politicization" in favor of getting it out ASAP when the FDA approval process
    allows for efficacy etc.

    It sounds fine to me, because that's how it works.

    Federal bureaucrats have no legitimate power to defy the president or Congress.

    You might begin to consider whether putting government agencies run by opinionated people with political agendas in charge of regulating healthcare is wise.

    Will you refuse to be vaccinated when the time comes?

    The president should do his job, and stop playing politics!

    You have it back-asswards as always FUCKSTICK!

    Donald Trump is not qualified to know when a vaccine is safe. No one is going to willingly get a vaccination that has not been fully tested. Those things take time to test properly.

    They have already had to scrap one of the vaccines because it was causing people to get deadly sick in the test phase.

    You are as stupid and dangerous as Donald Trump! DID YOU DRINK THE BLEACH?
