President Trump on Saturday accused, without providing any evidence, the US Food and Drug Administration of deliberately delaying coronavirus vaccine trials, pressuring the man he had picked to head the agency.

"The deep state, or whoever, over at the FDA is making it very difficult for drug companies to get people in order to test the vaccines and therapeutics," Trump tweeted, continuing to push his unfounded theory that there is a"deep state" embedded within the government bureaucracy working against his reelection.

As CNN previously reported, one vaccine candidate, developed by Moderna and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, moved to phase 3 clinical trials late last month.Trump, throughout the pandemic, has undercut or dismissed guidance from government health experts, including FDA officials.

THE APPRENTICE realDonaldTrump is the deep state. Look at all his felons!

I have this feeling that a lot of sentences started this way: 'Trump, without evidence...' (insert something crazy) But maybe I'm wrong.

Yah, trump just lying to cover up his previous lies! That’s what happens to dumb liars!

Technique of repeating unsubstantiated stats without documented facts & referring to statements taken out of context until they may become believed by at least some people is obnoxious tactic being used by Trump & many in the GOP. TrumpIsADisgrace VoteForBidenHarris

When has he ever given “evidence” or “proof” or “truth” in his life?

IS THERE AT LEAST ONE PERSON OR PSYCHIATRIST THAT HE CAN TALK TO. IS THERE ANY RATIONAL REASONABLE SENATOR THAT CAN HELP HIM ? THE FDA WHO HE APPOINTED IS NOW SCHEMING TO COMPROMISE HIS ELECTION? HE'S IS NOT RIGHT EMOTIONALLY. GOD BLESS!

Shocker, morons

Another FAKE NEWS STORY from CNN

CNN, without evidence, accused a teenager on a field trip of being a racist instigator. CNN has to pay that teenager a lot of money when they got sued for lying. 🙄

Trump, when you are going to grow up? Nagging and complaining al day long

The bully at his best

Idiot!

The FDA has been corrupt for DECADES!! Pay to play SWAMP

Russia and China already patented a vaccine

another boring meme that will cause illness and death. Shame on mr trump!

Laurie_Garrett Instead of leading the Country, Trump accuses an agency for which he is responsible of undermining progress. If he worked collaboratively with the FDA maybe he would be able to explain and support the FDA’s efforts.

the President knows more than CNN

Absolutely nothing new about Trump making baseless accusations without supporting evidence.

Very familiar behavior from Trump. He promised a vaccine in a impossible timeline. Now he has to blame others because it's not gonna happen.

He needs the 'Trump Vaccine ' that will save .......his election bid!

Der typische Blick wenn er lügt...

Plenty evidence .... FakeNewsCNN

Accusing its member of being part of the 'deep state,' (long eye roll), realdonaldtrump pressures FDA to cut corners and release a covid vaccine before the trials are completed, endangering American lives to assist in his reelection.

Another person he has never met? It's funny, for someone who runs the country, he hasn't met half the people in his administration. Imagine if Ivanka eventually turned on him?! 'She had an amazing body and wore the sexiest thongs ever! But I've never met Ivanka. Low life.'

For a guy with such a charmed life he's kind of a whiny little bitch... Our President, who's a billionaire thinks he's being treated unfairly? The FDA is letting 1000 people a day DIE, because they're waiting for the results of an election that no one can predict...

'Without providing any evidence'. He's a liar. Liars lie.

not that I believe anything from CNN, but it wouldn’t be surprising. They’re already trying to pick winners by giving billions$$ to select pharma/biotech companies.

When are they starting the testing for injecting disinfectants? Trump MD says it will work.

He is so desperate to roll out a vaccine before the election he is willing to risk our safety to do so! It's disgusting that he's made it where we will all have to question the safety of a vaccine when and if one does finally become available. 😠

Wake up America! Trump creates untruths and actually believes these unfounded, bizarre statements!!! He must go! Our nations future depends on replacing him with a decent President. Not an obviously unhinged man!

Where is the evidence that the FDA is not delaying testing and vaccines That is your job too CNN

CNN has it's tentacles in this. They cannot allow a cure before November 3.

No evidence is required. The goal is pressure. Goal accomplished.

MSM accuses every day with no evidence. Your getting a taste of your own medicine

Wow you didn't need evidence to acusate Russian Collusion now did you FakeNews

Who's going to participate in the trials? Melania and Barron.

WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE. REPEAT AFTER ME... WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE. WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE. WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE.
