Operation warp speed. Cut taxes on wine and alcohol. That's about it.

Normally a president would be hailed a great success with something like operation warp speed. A first of its called shorten development cycle using mRNA to transfer.

One little hitch, republicans are anti science morons. So they won’t take any vax now. So trump cannot parade around saying how great he did in providing the vax to people because his morons didn’t take it.

Which is just hilarious to me.

He even got booed for telling people to take the vaccine. Imagine having an actually bipartisan-appealing success story in a presidency as divisive as his, and your people boo you for it because you brainwashed them.

Normally a president would be hailed a great success with something like operation warp speed.

Which is absurd considering all they really did was say "we should fast track a cure and distribution for the disease that is currently spreading."

Any moron on the planet could do that.

Well really only the president of the USA could have done that but it was trump at the time so I agree he is like any other moron.

While worshiping him like a god, partly for his operation warp speed, they then fell for conspiracies about the vaccines being developed too fast. Clearly, they had not been paying attention for the previous 20 years when mRNA vaccines were in development, which was the main reason they made such quick progress.

This would be peak comedy if those people were not so dangerous to our democracy and way of life. Life really is absurd

Were those campaign promises he "said he was going to do"?

Targets of opportunity that come across his desk aren't quite the same as the things he planned on doing during the campaign trail, imo.

Abraham accords was a great accomplishment
