Trump calls Democrats' criticism of coronavirus handling their new 'hoax'

U.S. President Donald Trump lashed out Friday at Democrats who have questioned his handling of the coronavirus threat, calling it their new “hoax.”

At a campaign rally in South Carolina, Trump sought to steal some of the spotlight from his Democratic rivals a day before voters cast their ballots in the state’s presidential primary.

Trump accused Democrats of “politicizing” the coronavirus and boasted about preventive steps he’s ordered in an attempt to keep the virus that originated in China from spreading across the United States.

......................................

Some Democrats have said Trump could have acted sooner to bolster the U.S. response to the virus. Trump said Democrats only want to see him fail and argued that the steps he’s taken so far have kept cases to minimum in the U.S. and led to no deaths from the virus.

Trump does not even realize that when he holds rallies, he is spreading the virus amongst his cult regardless.
