State Dept. blows up G-7 statement

trump praised china and xi the other day. why?

Because he’s going to seek to have the Chinese make restitution for causing this…in massive debt forgiveness or something. Which may further deepen the trade war. It’s not a bad thought…but it will not work.

For what happens in this country you bet, or are we ruled by china now?

Trump defense syndrome is a problem.

Every now and again the power of the Unreality Bubble still has the power to stun.

That someone would spout off that our sluggish response to COVID was because of Democratic resistance to Trump was something I wouldn’t have expected to see.

I probably should have.

The insistence around here on pretzeling someone’s response to fit a narrative is normal, I guess. Never said I was ignoring China. Hiding the virus, lying about the severity, booting out observers - all that is reprehensible, and led to needless deaths. Better?

My point is that Trump, and therefore his minions, aren’t calling it Chinese virus to be “accurate”, They’re doing it to assign blame, something they certainly don’t want anyone doing to him.

In the face of the crisis, this is a pretty small thing. Certainly shouldn’t be anyone’s focus. But it’s vintage Trump - “I’m getting hammered, better deflect”. I don’t buy it. You can choose to. That’s not how I roll.

Starting a thread, is now considered throwing a tantrum?

Good to know.

Some people grow out of playground behavior. Some, apparently, do not.

Yes, it was those liberals, Nixon, Reagan, Clinton and Bush who negotiated trade, and legitimized China by propping them up, and gave them the status they needed to become an economic powerhouse.

Exactly what it is.

Trump getting hammered…rightfully so…for his part in the US’ absolutely abysmal early response to the crisis.

“Uh oh,” he says “my peeps need someone to blame. China it is!”

Awesome fantasy!

And yet what did libs call Trump with his first action?

If you say xenophobe you would be correct.

As for US being unprepared. Lets not forget who you heard it first. And yes there is plenty of blame to go around.

Yes…“xenophobe”.

Impeach 45 Impeach 45.

That was nightly news during the beginning of this crisis.

except trump. You don’t blame trump.

trump was impeached. That is in fact news.

No reason trump couldn’t do he ■■■■■■■ job while he was being impeached. Hell, clinton negotiated with Newt on welfare reform while he was being impeached.

What did trump do? Spent his time lying about COVID and saying our cases would go to zero.

How far is 100,000 from zero?

This is irrelevant deflection.

it’s just under 120,000 now

Want to check again? I accused Trump for attempted to down play this threat/dangers.

I also said Trump need to get out ahead of this virus.

This was on 29th of Feb.

You did and I I absolutely give you credit for that. The thing is he hasn’t got out ahead of it and is now playing political games but you’re no longer criticizing his efforts
