announced until after the election was over, implying that it was done purposefully. Then he didn't get the vax publicly (unlike nearly every other goddamned politician) leading his dumshit followers to question whether he ever did at all. Instead of promoting the vaccine or engaging in anything like a normal transition of power, he spent November, December and January, a) on the golf course, b) engaging in the attempt to overturn the election, and c) not jump-starting vaccine distribution leaving that to the next administration.

I don't hang on the jerk's every word, but the first time I remember him even weakly promoting the vaccine was at that rally in Alabama after he was out of office. He was booed and quickly backed down. He provided almost zero leadership on the vaccine topic. Par for the course for that malignant narcissist.
