I think POTUS has to be seen making an effort to get a vaccine ready. He certainly can't be seen holding up delivery -- too many are believers in the scamdemic. Even 30% of deplorables will show up at a Trump rally with masks. And Trump being Trump means he has to do it faster and better than anyone ever has. Of course, supporting an RNA vaccine is not going to endear him to anyone, once the damage done becomes apparent. For this reason I think Trump has other ideas up his sleeve.
