Trump says of the vaccine, which does not yet exist and hasn't been subjected to an approval process: "We'll have manufactured at least 100 million vaccine doses before the end of the year"
There have been multiple reports of pressure for a vaccine to coincide with the election.
After botching the response to Hurricane Maria and repeatedly neglecting and insulting the Americans there, Trump now claims, "I'm the best thing that ever happened to Puerto Rico."
A reporter asks Trump about constantly publicly overruling the experts in his administration: "Do you think you know better than they do?"
Trump: "Yeah, in many cases I do."
Trump has presided over a virus response with nearly 200,000 dead while unemployment hit 14%.
"I don't run it" - Donald Trump's answer when asked why the Postal Service did not send out masks to Americans as a recently released draft press release showed they had planned.
Trump's own CDC director said masks would be more effective vs the virus than even a vaccine.
Continuing to make up claims about mail-in voting (which Trump does so he can vote in Florida), Trump claims that voters will be "showered with ballots."

Pressed by reporters, Marjorie Taylor Greene won't apologize for supporting a post calling for Speaker Pelosi's assassination, and instead lashes out at reporters -- despite claiming earlier in the press conference she supports free speech and journalism.
Marjorie Taylor Greene blames Democrats - and a few Republicans - who voted to strip her of her committee assignments of depriving voters in her district of a voice. But the action was based on Greene's own words.
"The party is his, it doesn't belong to anybody else" - Marjorie Taylor Greene declaring that election loser Donald Trump still runs the Republican Party.
Defending herself as the House debates removing her from committees for promoting violence and conspiracy theories, GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene asserts, "I've never been arrested, I've never done drugs."
Not taking responsibility for her actions, Greene claims she fell into QAnon because she didn't trust what she saw on CNN or Fox News so she turned to Facebook: "I was allowed to believe things that weren't true."
Claiming that "cancel culture" is "a real thing," Marjorie Taylor Greene complains that people may have "retweeted porn" but that she is "censored" for posting attacks on transgender people.
Press secretary Jen Psaki says Biden is issuing executive orders because he was elected to address American pain and suffering. She says that "includes overturning some of the detrimental, harmful and at times immoral, policies and actions" of Trump.
Press secretary Jen Psaki calls out Rob Crilly, a reporter for the conservative Washington Examiner, for taking President Biden out of context while asking about his executive orders.
Jen Psaki: "We do feel, as an administration, that ensuring that all people in the United States, undocumented immigrants as well of course, should receive access to the vaccine, because that, one, is morally right, but also ensures that people in the country are also safe."
President Biden: "We have recently discovered, in the final days of the transition ... that once we arrived the vaccine program was in worse shape than we anticipated, or expected."
President Biden announces that "we will increase overall weekly vaccine distributions to states, tribes, and territories, from 8.6 million doses to a minimum of 10 million doses."
Biden: "Starting next week, that's an increase of 1.4 million doses per week."
President Biden: "I hope you're all asking me by the end of the summer -- that you have too much vaccine left over. You have too much equipment left over. That's not my worry. I hope that becomes the problem."
