    I guess that explains why he hasn’t spoke once about it since the election or attended a task force meeting in 6 months

    So you think vaccines developed by a US company that receives subsidies from our taxes and billions of guaranteed sales, should put the lives of others over our own? Think it’s their obligation and responsibility to take care of us first.

    What does that say about EU if they willingly bend over for a fascist regime that breaks and ignores international laws, horribly abuses its people and released a global pandemic on all of them without a whiff of an apology? Seems they’re about as useless as they were back in WWII when they bent over for another regime.

    We’re talking about Biden. Why do you keep shifting the conversation?

    I understand the sentiment, but that is no excuse for him.

    Not following the EU into Marxist -fascism is not treating them "like dogs" which is an Obama phrase I never understood. Most Americans treat our dogs like our favorite children. Obama must kick his.

    If you think you can justify the trade war with China with this kind of argument, you are sadly mistaken.

    Trump doesn't care whether a trading partner is a dictatorship or a democracy.

    If it mattered at all, he would have put real pressure on Xi during the protests in Hong Kong.

    Not to mention the fact that it has legitimized the worst criminal regime on the planet, namely North Korea.

    So let's drop your false scruples.

    He’s not required to meet with his own task force either. He’s not required to even do his job at all technically

    You're complaining about the final outcome of a chess game when Trump walked away from the game half way through the match.
    The US has a huge trade deficit with China, and I Guarantee you that you have Chinese made items in your house right now - so that's a bit
    of the pot calling the kettle black.

    So now Trump doesn't want to meet with other world leaders for a trade summit is ok :)

    Seems acting like a petulant child is his best trait.

    Choosing to play golf instead of meeting with allies of the G20 is just a plain old childish butt-hurt temper tantrum. Trump is a dick.

    I suppose you're referring to Pfizer's vaccine. Saying that it's made by a US company is painfully superficial and false. It's a cooperation between German company Biontech (subsidised by German tax money) and Pfizer. In January, scientists from Biontech started development of a possible vaccine. The cooperation with Pfizer started in March; it's a German-American collaboration.
    We shouldn't simplify these things.

    Looks like Trump pretty much stopped working since Nov 4th. So much for the theory that Trump was working for the betterment of the American people. If that had been the case, it surely wouldn't matter for his work ethic as to whether he was re-elected or not. It seems that he stopped caring on Nov. 4th.

    And Google, MS, APPLE, Amazon and Twitter are “global” corporations too:) How much money did Pfizer receive from EU? Country first.

    Pfizer was subsidised by American tax money, Biontech by German tax money and EU fonds.
    The fact remains that this vaccine is a German-American collaboration. Claiming otherwise is false.
