White House trade adviser Peter Navarro reportedly blew up at Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials during a meeting last Monday for not producing a drug for COVID-19 quickly enough for President Donald Trump.
“You are all Deep State and you need to get on Trump Time,” Navarro told them, according to Axios.
According to a conspiracy theory peddled by Trump and his allies, a shadow group of government actors have formed a “deep state” to actively undermine the President from the inside.
On Saturday, Trump baselessly accused via Twitter “the deep state, or whoever, over at the FDA” of deliberately prolonging the process of developing a COVID-19 drug until after the November elections.
Trump’s “therapeutics” - convalescent plasma - is not a breakthrough per scientists and physicians = it is far from breakthrough!
I’d believe the scientist and physicians over Trump’s quack adviser!

It seems Navarro is already on drugs
Snake Oil: It’s for What Ails Ya.
Wingers have for years prattled on about vaccines causing all manner of problems for people years after they’ve been administered. Looks like Trump will make their fevered dreams come true once he pushes a COVID vaccine to market in about 1/10th the time a properly studied medicine should be approved.
Go sell crazy somewhere else, you fascist asshole!
