The lyingest liar of all lying liars who lies always about everything to everybody is perplexing on ONE issue: vaccines. He knew from the beginning that the pandemic was going to be an unimaginable killer, but he the malignant narcissist megalomaniac didn't care about human life.

2) What he cared about was power and a 2nd term that would allow him to seize authoritarian tyranny. That 2nd term was predicated on his perverse focus on solely a fantastic stock market that he could brag about. To save lives in the pandemic would mean harming the stock market.

3) So Trump politicized the pandemic with divisive attacks against science, fairy tales about it disappearing by Easter, opposing testing because tests created big numbers, crafting the hoax storyline, diminishing the elderly as the only victims and disposable, turning masks...

4) into personal liberty insults, launching his "Open America" war games, using xenophobia as as a weapon to turn focus on blaming Asians, AND FLINGING EVERY POSSIBLE MIRACLE CURE TO GET PEOPLE TO STOP FEAR AND KEEP THE ECONOMY OPEN. His miracle cures included miracle bleach, ...

5) miracle ultraviolet light, various miracle pills, miracle herd immunity, and miracle vaccines. They were all the same thing to him: stalling tactics to keep from doing the necessary lockdowns because that would hurt the stock market and his chances for his 2nd term. ...

6) The vaccines were rapidly developed not because of Trump but because the new medical processes were in the works for years and accelerated by the massive COVID-19 pandemic. Of the miracle cure distractions Trump flung on the wall to keep from the real solution of lockdown, ...

7) the vaccines actually WORKED! Egomaniac Trump, of course, tries to claim victory for the one cure that actually worked, ignoring that his deliberate politically-driven response to the pandemic needlessly killed hundreds of thousands of Americans felled by COVID. ...

8) So successful was his attack on science, masks, testing, "the hoax," "disposable elderly," etc., that his cult today is willing to die to prove their worship of their god Trump...and refuse to get vaccinated. This is the massive killing house of horrors that Trump built. ...

9) But something odd happened.

Trump tried to steer his massive and dangerous cult toward getting vaccinated. Of course, we all—Trump cultists as well as rational human beings—know what Trump is: an evil self-absorbed liar without a soul, incapable of humanity. So we must ...

10) realize that Trump has realized he is killing his key supporters for no good reason, something even his archetypes Hitler and Mussolini would not do. The numbers prove that problem: the vaccinated live to vote, the unvaccinated die and cannot (legally) vote. The surprise ...

11) is, Trump's first instinct to stop reducing his putrid voting pool was to arm-twist as cult leader and suddenly declare his followers get vaccinated. This 180° surprise was rejected by his cult. They knew it was wrong. Worse, some in the right-wing cesspool seized on this ...

12) as an opportunity to usurp Trump as cult leader. A challenge to Trump! (Sidenote: those usurpers are incompetent and inadequate for cult leadership and disaster would have followed.) So Trump in an uncharacteristic shift reworked his message to keep voters alive. ...

13) He did what always works for him: RACISM. Trump held a "Save my Cult" rally to fight off the usurpers and reestablish that he alone is the cult leader. He then reworked his vaccine message into a racist tirade, dredging up the favorite of Angry White Man Syndrome: ...

14) WHITE VICTIMHOOD. In terms his voters understand (not human lives to be saved but voters kept alive for voting), he declared that @TheDemocrats are so evil they are refusing to vaccinate White people! This message works for the cult because it is pure Trump, combining ...

15) lies, hate, racism, ignorance, and stupidity into one glorious effort to stem the suicide cult he had so carefully crafted.

Will it work? Are Trumpians now going to grab Trump flags and scream at vaccination sites demanding that White people get the vaccinations ...

16) that their proud White birthright demands?

I don't think so.

Trump deliberately built a cult that cannot be de-programmed, whether wholesale or in a little piece. America will soon reach a million COVID deaths, and half of those people are dead directly because of Trump....

17) Trump thinks he's God, and his cult thinks he's God, but he cannot resurrect those he was so willing to kill, and the stupid ass just now realizes that dead Americans cannot vote for him.

That is why there is this one sudden small adjustment to the message of Trump.
