Trump’s Flip-flop on the COVID Vaccination

That Trump has radically changed his position on COVID-19 has people wondering what’s going on.

The guiding principle in understanding Trump is that he never does anything that doesn’t benefit him personally; he’s incapable of behaving otherwise. So what does this all mean?

My theory is that when Biden offered Trump congratulations for being the president when the vaccine was first developed, Trump realized suddenly that he could spin this whole thing in a positive direction.  Instead of being remembered as the guy whose heartless and selfish actions and inactions killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans, and who might have had mass manslaughter charges leveled against him, he can, he believes, walk away largely unscathed.
