    It’s an appeal to vanity (a troll). Trump is wildly vain and if he thinks this qualifies him for a Nobel (it doesn’t) then he might just put the worm back in its jar for awhile.

      I think this is legitimately it.

      This isn’t sycophantic, it’s desperation. They’re watching the future of their industry (mRNA) disappear right in front of them, along with the related money.

      They need Trump to get it in his head that the vaccine makes him a hero, so that MAGA will come around on vaccines and keep them rich.

      No doubt in my mind. I bet that hurt to come out and say publicly.

        Maga won’t come around on it though. They booed him as he was promoting the vaccine at one of his ego stroke rallies.

          It doesn’t matter. They can convince their supporters of literally anything. And even if they can’t, they’ve been so successful at demonizing dems that their voters would sooner vote for the devil himself so long as he had on a red tie and an ® next to his name.
