Please tell me what Trump did that was authoritarian? 
Another example. 24 times, without proof, Trump calling those treasonous: a crime you don't lock people up, you put them to death:

Words.
Not deeds.
Indeed, your words don't carry much weight, the President of the United States does. Do look up the concept and origin of the Bully pulpit.
Words (from a President) do matter. It's another example of WHY the US is in such an awful position with Covid-19, and why so many think wearing a mask is political statement. They ignore science and facts because of words that affect deeds. Such deeds are one reason why, with 4% of the worlds population, the US has over 20% of the deaths and the highest infection rate of Covid-19 on the entire planet Earth. On Planet Trump, I suppose not so much but I don't live on that planet.

Not on a per-capita basis.

As for words, even if from the President, they matter only to snowflakes. For the rest of us, sticks and stones...

So why are so afraid of Biden's or AOC's words?     :)

Totally not afraid of Biden's words... still trying to decipher them. Not sure even he knows what he is saying or trying to say.

As for AOC, these are not just words, the lists already exist (deed)... wait till the list becomes actionable and people start loosing jobs or promotions based on that. Besides, we do not have to wait at all... the cancel culture has been alive and very active for quite some time.

Interesting how Pfizer is clarifying that although it is a part of the Warm Speed program, it did not accept any assistance from the US government.
Kind of undermines the admin's attempt to take some credit for it.
Pence breaks silence to take credit for Pfizer vaccine - and drugs company immediately denies Trump involved

You must be kidding from a planet far, far away.
Do tell us what country has the highest number of infected humans on the planet called Earth, not planet Trump please.
Here is a visual as of today of deaths sir and cases. The virus is the same in each country. It doesn't affect political parties or other kinds of people differently, but the US is winning by a mile in the race to be the most infected. Those are the facts on this planet.

Who cares who claims credit for the vaccine development?

That makes it even worse!
The entire planet has 7.8 billion people with a death rate of 162 / million.
US has 300 million with a death rate of 736 / million.

Only on Planet Earth. On the planet the comment came from, no one dies of Covid-19. Or if they do get it, they are all flown by helicopter to Walter Reed where a staff of dozens of doctors give them experimental drugs.  :'(

I guess I do when those claims are unfounded and made by people in positions of authority.
Also the people who should be credited apparently care.

But I am indeed thrilled to hear about the vaccine. This will hopefully be the thing that makes it ok to return to normal-ish life.

Trump is going to claim credit for it whether deserved or not. Trump supporters will give Trump credit whether deserved or not. It's baked in.

True. I don't want to care but I'd be lying if I said I didn't.

More good news (Can anyone in Trump World say otherwise?):

When President-elect Joe Biden moves into the White House in January, he will bring his two German shepherds, Champ and Major — the latter becoming the first shelter pet to reside there.
