Trump's Alice in Wonderland world

I am not China apologist, but lets face the facts.

Trump is attempting to hold China solely responsible for the spread of the Coronavirus. He is damning them for the same mistakes that he has made. He is trying to hold China to a far higher standard than he and his administration attained. Trump seems to believe that China's errors absolve him of any responsibility for the American problems.

When China started dealing with the problem, it came totally unexpected, and they had to start from scratch. It is unreasonable to expect that they would have handled the problem perfectly. Trump had warnings of what was coming and still repeated and exacerbated the errors China made. Trump was so concerned about the optics of the disease, and how it affected him personally, that he ignored warnings. 'It will magically disappear.' Trump's was a policy of denial and hoping for the best. Trump was unable to learn from the mistakes of others so he was doomed to repeat them.

To expect the people to accept his tactics is an insult to the intelligence of the Country.

This was Trump's chance to show the world what a genius he is and he failed miserably. He does not deserve to lead us further down the road to distruction.
