The president’s claim that the FDA is delaying clinical trials for the coronavirus vaccine for political reasons is his way of making some at the agency “feel the heat” and push forward, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said

Meadows came to the president’s defense on ABC’s “This Week” with host George Stephanopoulos, claiming that the president’s remarks are part of a larger effort to put pressure on the agency, and other agencies working on the coronavirus response, to move quickly.

The president “had to make sure that they felt the heat,” Meadows said. “If they don't see the light, they need to feel the heat, because the American people are suffering. This president knows it, and he’s going to put it on wherever — the FDA or NIH or anybody else to make sure that we deliver on behalf of the American people.”

Meadows also said he believes some people at the agency “do not see the same sense of urgency as he sees.” “They know that some kind of result today is good for the American people, and he just wants to make sure they feel the same urgency,” he said.

'RNC to get first round of USSR COVID Vaccine' - now thats a headline I wanna see.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug, the paranoia trip is just one symptom. The chosen one complex and knowing more than the doctors, scientists and generals is a dead give away.

Like Trump is feeling the heat from the upcoming election

How does it feel to be chief of staff to a RussianAsset? TrumpIsATraitor LockHimUp VoteBidenHarrisToSaveAmerica

Thank you, MarkMeadows; it’s very brave of you to sacrifice your life for your country.

Screw the USPS to stop mail in voting---now demand a vaccine by Election Day so he can take credit. For the Win! But, we see through it all!

...yeeey's...

This MarkMeadows guy comes across as fake. Theater school drop out.

Destroying morale is rarely an effective management style. Every single govt employee remembers the shut down. You think they will vote for Trump?

Re-election pressure? No, thanks. Willing to get vaccinated but not with an inadequately tested vaccine rushed to further a Trump agenda!

So lies

What a stupid comment by the COS. There is no group of people more interested in approving a vaccine.

Because, you know, he's a dick.

Trump is lying. Outright lying. Pharma companies are having their clinical trials. They’re just not letting Trump interfere. He’s a thug and an insult destroying the credibility of FDA.

Killing people to own the Libs great strategy.

THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT US!!! And there is serious contemplation perpetuating this FUCKING DUMB ASS ASININE BULLSHIT FOR 4 MORE YEARS.?

They would kill us all for 4 more years of unhindered stock market dividends greed is the Republican party.

MarkMeadows Birds gotta fly, fish gotta swim, grifters gotta GRIFT. And obsequious shameless Chiefs of Staff gotta grovel. Are we abandoning bleach injection and hydroxy chloroquine now? More snake oil from the 🐍.

Can we say Banana Republic.

One on wants to hear anything from MarkMeadows he is, but for gerrymandering

FDA should concentrate on science; Trump should 'feel the heat.' sciencenotpolitics TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

Jimmy Jones injected dissent with poisoned koolaide. Is this different? Is Trump the US version of Jimmy Jones massacre? Meadows is blithering moron steeped ignorance, mindless parroting death sentences to America. Sick admin. I can’t believe he has supporters.

Great, COS Meadows, let's start the trial tonight and you can have the first dose.

Poor thing.

... 45* is ready to do anything to win his election by making sure that 'He' will be 'The Chosen One' to 'save' the world...by getting from anywhere, at all costs a vaccin, 'made' in USA...

We want a safe & reliable vaccine, not something rushed bc Trump pressured them to release. If people are suspicious that it was rushed, people won't get vaccinated & we'll never get out of this mess!

StellaBeat Only a moron like Trump would pressure the FDA on something this important.

Uh yea! We know that. How stupid do you have to be to say it out loud? LoseEverythingWithTrump

Former reality TV star who wanted to nuke hurricanes is now running the FDA.

Even as US_FDA bends to his will, he manages to kick them in the throat. Do we want this man looking after our country for 4 more years?

Would Trump be happy with a Vaccine that killed people? One that Saves lives will take time. Back to the bleach

The FDA has a responsibility to approve drugs, judging on their safety and their efficacy, not by a declaration from the White House.This was a very dangerous statement on the part of Trump. It went beyond in terms of how he would jeopardize the health of the American people.'

No trump wants to kill us

Mark's a jerk. Mouth open, braying away, ugh, reminds me of the fake prez.

'Cut corners to make us look good'... I really despise this cult.

Coronavirus itself is enough heat. Let them do their job without plotical interference.

Americans Die Trump Golfs

Politics should never be out ahead of science. Trump administration is a disgrace

Oh yes, let’s push unsafe therapies to “push forward”.

💔🇺🇸😱

He's paving the way for vlady's Russian covid vaccine soon to be released with very little testing. I'll let the magas test it first

It. Doesn’t. Work. Like. That. trump lies and the GOP enablers him. End of story.

How about just say no to this little coward ?

Complete disaster TrumpHoaxedAmerica
