I read a commentary by an American who immigrated from China. His informed commentary is that the Chinese Communist Government is absolutely at fault here. Not the Chinese people, the communist party. He said they are culturally arrogant and deceptive and because of that this disease was created in China in the Wet Markets as have other viral diseases, and then got spread around the world. The covering up of this disease in China for nearly 2 months by the communist party is some of the problem. The only way to attempt to change that reality, he said, is to confront the Chinese Communist Party and cause them to lose face and continue to look them in the eye and tell them that they have lost face. One way to do that is to call this disease what it properly is...The Wuhan Virus or the China Virus.
So you're saying that Trump either lied or was incompetent when he assured us that he had worked with the Chinese government in January and that everything was fine??? Thanks for admitting Trump failed, that's what I've been saying all along - thanks for helping prove it.
To back you up, here's what Trump said that was so, so wrong, with his cavalier attitude, praising China's government (that can't be trusted but Trump can't even understand that), claiming it's no problem...
"Two months ago, as the world knows, Trump was praising China’s government for its handling of the coronavirus outbreak, while downplaying the severity of the threat to the United States.
“We have it totally under control,” he said in an interview to CNBC on Jan. 22. “It’s one person coming in from China and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.” For good measure,
he said it again on Twitter:
“China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”
Now, of course, Trump simultaneously
denies that anyone could have known about the pandemic (“I would view it as something that just surprised the whole world”) and claims to have
predicted the extent of the disaster (“This is a pandemic. I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic”). Similarly,
he’s moved from praising President Xi Jinping’s government to attacking it. He’s also changed the language he uses to describe the pathogen that causes Covid-19.
After weeks of saying “coronavirus,” he now calls it the “Chinese virus.”"
Opinion | Don’t Let Trump Off the Hook
Trump isn't afraid for anyone's life. Trump took this lightly with a cavalier attitude until just about 2 weeks ago when the markets tanked - that's what motivates and scares Trump, the market. Everything he cares about is the market, not people. He doesn't understand the connection between the people and the market so he screwed this whole thing up. Everybody notices.
He should be eternally grateful to Governor Cuomo for leading the nation on this while he sits there befuddled, floundering and failing. Cuomo should be made president just for this alone.
