Can this awful man sink any lower?

My opinion of American President Donald Trump was never all that high, but now it has sunk to a new low. Why? Because of his recent bid to take over a German company - Curevac - which has made substantial progress in developing a Coronavirus vaccine. Trump's motive for buying the company was to ensure supplies of the vaccine exclusively for American citizens and to deny it to all other nationalities. This is despite the fact that the research being done by Curevac has been financed by European grants. Fortunately, the bid has been soundly rebuffed. As the company states: if they create a viable vaccine "it will be for the whole world". But what do you make of the morality - or lack of it - in trying to reserve the benefits of this vital research solely for your own citizens? Do you really think that your responsibility as a world leader does not extend beyond your own shores? Because you are rich, do you really think you have the right to refuse to share the benefits of that wealth with those less fortunate than yourself? I have a funny feeling that this appalling conduct on Trump's part will not get a lot of publicity in the United States!
