This! Trump's corrupt relationship with China helped the spread of C-19

[Botany]

Posted by lymphocyte lover yesterday.

CONCLUSION/ A significant percentage of the U.S. COVID-19 outbreak is attributable to a federal response hobbled by Trump's secret side communications with China. That changed only in March—after it was too late.


Never, ever forget: Trump's corrupt relationship with China

killed tens of thousands of Americans by enabling the pandemic to spread.

1. Yes, Trump besmirching China can only mean

he is colluding with China presently.

2. China is holding a $210 million dollar note that Trump owes them and he, Kushner, and Pompeo ...

... shipped 18 tons of PPE to China in Feb. of 2020 and that equipment could have saved
lots of Drs., nurses, 1st responders, and other people's lives.

This nightmare is just about all on him (Trump).

4. Actually, the (corrected) article says that China sold the securities in 2012 weeks after financing

The corruption outlined in Seth Abramson's epic thread is still very real. He acknowledges the update but says it changes nothing.

6. Concluding tweet note in Abramson's thread is useful advice to the reality-based community:

NOTE/ The mistake far too many in the reality-based community make is in thinking we're in conversation with Trumpists. We're not. They turned their backs on journalism—and they therefore don't get to engage us on the topic of journalism. Ever. They're lost and should be ignored.
