"This is just noise" designed to divert attention from his incompetent handling of the epidemic.

BoringButVeryNastyHat Retweeted

The expert quoted in this article has it right: “This is just noise.” Yet more BS designed to divert attention, in this case from his incompetent handling of the epidemic. Has no chance in court, nothing but noise.

Trump and Dorsey seem well choreographed to stir up maximum outrage (and viewership).

Twitter fact-checks China amid bias row

Twitter, under intense scrutiny for its use of fact-checking warnings, has added them to tweets from China's foreign ministry spokesperson.

The warning has been added to tweets from spokesman Lijian Zhao, in which he warned: "It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan."

Twitter added the warning more than two months after the tweets were posted.
