“Never let them take the credit,” Trump said on the final night of CPAC. “Joe Biden is only implementing the plan we put in place.”
If Trump doesn’t want Biden to take all the credit, he could channel his favorite hobby with some public good that could recoup some of the credit for himself. He could resume rallies among his biggest supporters, but rather than campaigning for himself personally, he should be campaigning to get people to take the vaccine. It would be a legitimate public good that the media would be moronic to oppose, and it would serve as a useful reputational rehabilitation among the Republicans he alienated with his election lies that spurred the storming of the Capitol.
Of course, that it’s a win-win for everyone involved means it’s destined not to happen, but if Trump continues to lament Biden receiving credit for ending the pandemic, don’t say he couldn’t have done something.
