At least he did Operation Warpspeed. Funny that some of his supporters turned on him for that.
Great skills, giving a tiny fraction of the budget to vaccine research during a global pandemic that halted the economy. I'm sure no one else would have thought of that.
It wasn't the giving money, it was the fast tracking in terms of regulations. Many people in Trump's position would not have done that and would have waited the expected 18 months instead of the 11 that it actually took. Some in the industry were concerned as it was happening. Plenty of other countries dragged their feet in the approval process more than the US did.
Trump wasn't single handedly responsible for the approvals. Far from it. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't know much of the details. But it still seems he was pushing for it where other people wouldn't have. I'm not sure Biden would have. Trump likes to play fast and loose where Biden is a bit stuffier.
A broken clock is right twice a day. Except IMHO, it wasn't even the orange man making this specific decision. Probably a staffer that wasn't completely without a brain
