President Donald Trump accused China of weaponizing the coronavirus pandemic to thwart his re-election prospects, adding in an Oval Office interview that his administration was plotting retaliatory action.

"China will do anything they can to have me lose this race," Trump told Reuters on Wednesday, claiming that China's handling of the pandemic was part of an alleged effort to elect presumptive Democratic opponent Joe Biden.

"They're constantly using public relations to try to make it like they're innocent parties," the president said.

Trump has claimed that China alone is responsible for a pandemic which has killed at least 60,000 people in the U.S. to date and felled a global domino board of economic shutdowns. The president told Reuters that the first phase of the trade deal he recently struck with Xi was "upset very badly" by the global economic fallout.

1. Note to General Trump:

None of this really is about your bid for re-election!

In case you forgot, we have a national crisis of untold proportions going on right this minute.

You have not and are not doing your job. Ah, you know what that means? You're fired you heartless, ultracrepidarian cockwomble. It may take some time, but you are out the door. Since that is the case, for now, DO YOUR JOB, you bloody git.

You are responsible for this, no matter how you attempt to deflect from that. The con man pitch really wears thin and you should realize that by now. Saying you are not responsible not only means nothing and changes nothing, but underscores that you are not fulfilling your sworn duties and job, but rather, you are using the office as a tool for your own insidious intentions.

Oh, and stop doing everything you can to make this worse and destroy the country out of spite and hatred for the American people.

4. Act of War?

So, what Trump is claiming basically is that the Chinese successfully conducted a biological warfare attack against the US, killing over 60,000 people so far, and shutting the down country. And they did this to stop Trump from being reelected.
Good, I feel better now.

6. Which really means ...

...Trump has repeatedly tried to get help from them getting re-elected and they refused to help him. If they had agreed he would be singing their praises while claiming how great they were. He just uses anything again to claim his opposition is corrupt , and untrustworthy , while he lies his ass off , again. lol, its not going to work this time. trumps a serial liar, and this time a lot more Americans see and hear it daily , and its driving many away from him and the republicans party for good. trumps getting more desperate each day knowing he's losing , and will not be installed this time by putin again.
