as top advisers claim attacking Beijing may be the best way for the president to save his job.Donald Trump warned of "consequences" for Beijing if China were found to have deliberately allowed the novel coronavirus to spread.
"It could have been stopped in China before it started and it wasn't, and the whole world is suffering because of it," Trump said at the daily White House coronavirus task force briefing on Saturday.
"If they were knowingly responsible, certainly," he said. "If it was a mistake, a mistake is a mistake. But if they were knowingly responsible, yeah, then there should be consequences."

He is still stealing for the rich and to hell with the rest of us.

We KNOW where it stops, however. It is with those whom have been elected to serve the people and our general welfare. Those not doing the job they were assigned to properly and who do not faithfully fulfill their oath of office have no excuse and we should superglue the buck to them, verbally, all the time.

(3,282 posts)If you wanted to release a global pandemic you would do so by setting it loose on one of your own most populous cities?
Why wouldn't you start it somewhere like NY or LA and then lock your own country down almost immediately?
China is suffering as bad economically as anyone, so what would their motivation have been? It's just more of Trump trying to blame everyone and see what sticks.
