As you can see, Donny Trump is still blaming China for Covid-19. Donny’s argument was that he was DUMB enough to believe China when they said they had the virus under control.

Here's why even that is a horrible argument:

First, anybody with a small bit of historical knowledge will know that China ALWAYS covers up their own internal problems. Anybody recall the SARS epidemic in the early 2000s? That was covered up big time by Chinese officials, both local ones & then national officials.

2/11
Because of the SARS cover-ups, the US established a Pandemic Response Team that was BASED in CHINA with the permission of the Chinese government. We also had a CDC liaison in Beijing.

3/11
However, they were both wantonly and idiotically fired by Team Trump. Either, or both, could have warned US officials around, or back, in November of 2019 about the coronavirus and its pandemic potential.

And, has China ever officially admitted to how many died in the June 4, 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre? Official figures were in the 250-300 range. Estimates from foreign observers range from several hundred to several thousand dead. All more than official statistics.

5/11
From this event at Tiananmen Square, as well as other disasters like floods and earthquakes, China has consistently covered up true death totals in order to save face internationally.

6/11
So, anybody that took China’s word that it was "all under control" really must be a Very Low IQ individual or naïve to the extreme, or both.

7/11
China telling you that it was all under control should have been a RED ALERT that it was very dangerous situation. It would have been easily verifiable with a Pandemic Response Team and a CDC liaison in Beijing.

8/11
Alas, we did not have any of those in place thanks to Trump. Besides, did China FORCE Trump to completely BOTCH the US response to the virus? Did China tell Trump to say it was just like the flu or would go away by April or that 15 cases would be down to close to zero?

9/11
Did China FORCE Trump to make mask wearing a political issue? Did China FORCE Trump to push states to re-open ahead of schedule? Did China FORCE Trump to send them tons of PPE while leaving our cupboard bare? Did China force Trump to tell people to inject disinfectants?

10/11
Ask yourself why the numbers are so much better in Europe and Asia than in the US? There is ONE primary reason for that, and it is Donald Trump, the worst president in history by a long shot and one who lies every time he opens his mouth.
