Trump said China may have started the coronavirus deliberately

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."

Trumps response to it still is pathetic.
He is still stealing for the rich and to hell with the rest of us.

with the conspiracy theories and blame game. I am sure he will tie it to Hunter Biden as well. Listen people if Trump is saying this, you can be well assured it is wrong.

The buck doesn't seem to be able to stop anywhere with these criminals. They just pass it around like a hot potato.

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.

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.

This would a major act of war and would require an international response. Do I hear collective crickets?

All the different story-lines about where the real responsibility lies, they can't ALL be true.
Contradicting narratives is the oxygen on which DJT propaganda thrives
